Summary

Elon Musk sparked controversy after criticizing U.K. officials on social media, accusing Safeguarding Minister Jess Phillips of being a “rape genocide apologist” and calling for Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s removal over child grooming gang prosecutions.

Musk also suggested “liberating” Britain in a poll.

Starmer defended his record as former director of public prosecutions, condemning Musk for spreading misinformation and fueling far-right threats.

U.K. Health Minister Wes Streeting labeled Musk’s comments a “disgraceful smear.”

    I think Musk should liberate the whole world. Starting with liberating it of himself.

        I admit I suspected something like this already when Musk was one of the last to leave the Trump’s chief business advisory council, during Trump’s first presidency.

        I suspected many of the things about Musk that are now out in the open. Musk is a malignant narcissist like Trump.
