Via messages posted on his social network X in recent days, the billionaire targeted the head of government, formerly head of the prosecution in England, regarding a vast case of rape and sexual exploitation of more than 1,500 girls and young girls in the north of England for decades, which had long been “ignored” by the authorities and the media.
“In the UK, serious crimes like rape require approval from the CPS (Crown Prosecution Service) before the police can charge suspects. Who was in charge of the CPS when gangs of rapists were able to exploit young girls without having to face justice?denounces the billionaire in one of the tweets posted on this subject.
After a first response formulated by the Minister of Health, Wes Streeting, the Prime Minister himself spoke this Monday, January 6 to respond to the boss of Tesla, soon to be Donald Trump's “government efficiency” minister.
“Those who spread lies and disinformation (…) are not interested in the victims. They are interested in themselves”declared Keir Starmer during a press conference, without mentioning Elon Musk by name.
“A line has been crossed”
Elon Musk also called for the organization of new general elections in the United Kingdomand has called for the release of far-right activist Tommy Robinsonsentenced to 18 months in prison for violating a court decision which prohibited him from repeating defamatory remarks against a Syrian refugee.
Questioned about these attacks, Keir Starmer defended his record at the head of the CPS, claiming to have “reopened files” and have “presented first indictments against Asian exploitation network”.
Elon Musk also discussed“genocidal rape apologist” the current Secretary of State for Victim Protection Jess Phillips. The latter recently considered that it was not necessary to carry out a national investigation into the management of several sexual exploitation scandals which shook the country, since specific investigations into several of them have already taken place.
Since then, she has been the subject of violent attacks on social networks. “When the poison of the far right leads to serious threats against Jess Phillips, then in my opinion a line has been crossed”denounced Keir Starmer.
The Prime Minister also strongly attacked the conservatives, whom he accused of not having acted when they were in power. “They need attention so much today that they amplify what the far right says”he said.
