Summary

UK Health Minister Andrew Gwynne criticized Elon Musk for focusing on British politics, urging him to prioritize American issues.

Musk’s criticism of Labour leader Keir Starmer over child sexual exploitation policies included accusing him of being “complicit in the RAPE OF BRITAIN.”

Labour pushed back, noting past local and national inquiries into abuse, including the 2014 Rotherham report.

Health Secretary Wes Streeting called Musk’s comments “misjudged.”

Musk’s support for jailed far-right activist Tommy Robinson has further fueled controversy.

        Please, I beg you — South Africa has enough problems as it is. Can he not go to Mars instead? He has always been very enthusiastic about the planet and he would be safe from the “woke virus” he so dreads — a win for everyone?

      Hey! Don’t try and palm him off on us.
      Just because you took him when South Africa didn’t want him it doesn’t mean we are gonna fall for it!

      Edit: Actually, fuck that, send him to Japan. Let Nintendo deal with him for a bit. They are already rich assholes he can’t make them any worse.
