The BBC is not state funded, as Elon has accepted previously. Although the Government sets the level of the licence fee, the funds come directly from every UK household that owns a television receiving device, not from government funds/general taxation. https://uk.themedialeader.com/no-the-bbc-is-not-government-funded-elon-even-if-its-chairman-gives-that-impression/ https://www.bbc.com/aboutthebbc/governance/licencefee https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-65226481
