Want a side of modern slavery with that? Didn't think so. Modern slavery is organised crime, and no one wants that lurking in their supply chain.

He is Ritwik Khanna, founder of the edgy upcycled menswear offering and atelier RKive City.

Despicable. And surely illegal. #boycottx Elon Musk giving ‘serious thought’ to Reform donation, says Farage https://t.co/MIRxN7zcjA
Look, @elonmusk is a lunatic megalomaniac cartoon villain but don’t be fooled. He’s also a dangerous criminal. After helping the orange one get re-elected in his own country, he’s now trying to destabilise the UK govt. #boycottx #boycottmusk https://t.co/rcytTu8fxe
