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.”
