Elon Musk Calls Starmer 'Utterly Despicable,' Suggests US 'Liberate' UK Over Grooming Gangs Issue
Jan 6, 2025, 11:02 AM
Elon Musk has intensified his criticism of UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer over the handling of child sexual exploitation cases involving grooming gangs. Musk called Starmer "utterly despicable" and suggested that the United States should "liberate" Britain from its "tyrannical government." He accused Starmer and Labour minister Jess Phillips of failing to address the issue, criticizing Phillips for rejecting a national inquiry into grooming gangs. Starmer responded by condemning the spread of "lies and misinformation" by the far right, defended his record as Director of Public Prosecutions, and reaffirmed his commitment to tackling child sexual exploitation. Health Secretary Wes Streeting labeled Musk's attacks as "ridiculous" and "ill-informed." The incident underscores Musk's increasing involvement in UK politics and highlights the challenges the government faces in addressing sensitive social issues.
