Elon Musk criticised the government’s controversial proposal on X while replying to a post shared by another user.
The Tesla and SpaceX boss said warned new tax change will "kill off UK family farming", reports The Times.
Musk wrote: "We should leave the farmers alone. We [owe] farmers immense gratitude for making the food on our tables!"
This is not the first time that Keir Starmer has faced criticism from Elon Musk. During the summer, Musk undermined the government for their punishment of people taking part in the UK riots by posting online.

Musk called the Prime Minister "two-tier Keir" and at the time, made comments claiming the Government would rather punish right-wing groups than counter-protestors in the riots over the summer.
On X, Musk has a following of 202.8 million people, so his posts have a huge reach.
The new tax on farmers has already been named the "tractor tax" and some farmers, who claim they may be forced to sell their farms as a result of the new rules.
Farmers will be able to claim 100% relief on the tax for the first ￡1m of their estate, with assets -beyond that subject to 20% -inheritance tax.

Amid the concerns, a Downing Street spokeswoman said No. 10 was committed to supporting farmers, and that only a quarter of estates were expected to be affected by the changes, according to The Times.
A protest by farmers is expected to take place in London - The National Farmers’ Union has outlined plans for a huge rally outside Parliament in Westminster on November 19.
Some notable TV personalities such as Kirstie Allsopp and Jeremy Clarkson have shared their anger at the new rules.

Posting on X, Clarkson said: "Rachel Reeves. I literally daren’t comment. We have a new Government. It’s turning out to be hopeless.”
Clarkson also urged his followers not to "despair" and hope for change in the next General Election, writing: "Farmers. I know that you have been shafted today. But please don’t despair.
"Just look after yourselves for five short years and this shower will be gone."
