Twitter owner Elon Musk has accused the BBC of spreading misinformation about face masks and covering up the side effects of coronavirus vaccinations.

The billionaire tycoon, speaking to a BBC journalist, also repeated claims that the UK Government put the corporation under pressure to change its editorial policy.

He did not expand on either allegation during the interview at the company's San Francisco offices which saw him asked how Twitter deals with Covid misinformation.
