You are in a fundamental situation here where, whether you choose violence or not, violence is coming to you. You either fight back or you die. That’s the truth.”The Metropolitan Police later revealed that 26 officers had been injured in clashes with protesters, four of them seriously.Davey posted a copy of his letter to the PM on X, prompting Musk to reply: “You are a craven coward.”The Lib Dem leader responded with a meme of the cartoon character Sponge Bob with the reply: “YoU aRe A cRaVeN cOwArD.”YoU aRe A cRaVeN cOwArD https://t.co/fAoEknoVvapic.twitter.com/0sBErLriIR— Ed Davey (@EdwardJDavey) September 15, 2025It is not the first time that the pair have clashed online.Musk called Davey “a snivelling cretin” in January after the Lib Dem leader said he “clearly knows nothing about Britain”.That was in response to Musk’s comments about the child grooming scandal.He said government minister Jess Phillips should be in jail and called for America to intervene to overthrow the Labour government.The Lib Dems are now calling on the prime minister to block Musk’s firm Tesla from receiving any government contracts.A party source told HuffPost UK: “We need to hit him in the pocket where it hurts.”Related...Starmer Urged To Block Tesla From Government Contracts Over Elon Musk's Far-Right Rally RantElon Musk Slammed After Telling Far-Right Rally 'Violence Is Coming' To UKLiz Truss And Elon Musk Stoke Anti-Asylum Sentiment With Misleading Clip Of Labour Minister
