The world's richest person, Elon Musk, has hit back after not being invited to the UK government's International Investment Summit.
He was not invited due to his social media posts during last month’s riots, the BBC understands.
"I don’t think anyone should go to the UK when they’re releasing convicted pedophiles in order to imprison people for social media posts," Mr Musk claimed on X.
Earlier this month, the government released some prisoners to reduce prison overcrowding, but no-one serving sentences for sex offences were included.
Following disorder and rioting across the UK in August, some people were jailed for encouraging unrest on social media.
During the August riots, Mr Musk posted on X, formerly Twitter, predicting civil war in the UK and repeatedly attacking the prime minister.
