Keir Starmer Responds to Elon Musk’s Attacks Amid Child Exploitation Scandal
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has condemned the spread of misinformation following a barrage of attacks from U.S. billionaire Elon Musk on the handling of a child sexual exploitation scandal. Musk accused Starmer, who previously led the British prosecution service, of allowing gangs to abuse young girls, while Starmer defended his legacy and actions taken against exploitation during his tenure. The situation escalated as Musk labeled the Secretary of State for Victim Protection, Jess Phillips, as an ‘apologist for genocidal rape,’ leading to severe backlash. Starmer criticized the extremist rhetoric and its impact on Phillips.
