Elon Musk Urges King Charles III to Dissolve UK Parliament and Call New Election Over Grooming Gangs Scandal
Jan 6, 2025, 03:11 AM
Elon Musk has called for King Charles III to dissolve the UK Parliament and hold a new general election, following the UK government's rejection of a full inquiry into grooming gangs. Musk accused Prime Minister Keir Starmer of being complicit in the scandal, labeling it as 'state-sponsored evil.' The controversy stems from allegations that the government mishandled cases of child sexual exploitation, particularly those involving Pakistani-origin gangs. Musk's demand for parliamentary dissolution and his criticism of Starmer have sparked a significant debate, with the UK government and political figures responding to his claims. Health Secretary Wes Streeting described Musk's remarks as 'misjudged and misinformed,' while Starmer is expected to defend his record on tackling grooming gangs in a forthcoming speech.
