Elon Musk has had a busy weekend, blasting the UK government over Britain’s grooming gang scandal and even turning on Reform UK leader Nigel Farage in the last 24 hours. It may be a new week, but Musk’s focus remains very much on the British Isles, with the US tech billionaire this morning taking yet another pop at Sir Keir Starmer – and even turning his guns on his predecessor Gordon Brown.
The future co-leader of Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency has now called for the PM to be incarcerated. This morning, Musk quote tweeted an image of the three girls who were tragically killed in the Southport attack last year, writing: ‘Prison for Starmer.’
Just minutes before, the Twitter chief took to his platform to claim that ‘Starmer is complicit in the crimes’. It follows similar attacks by Musk last week on Labour politician Jess Phillips, after it was revealed the Home Office minister insisted it was for Oldham council to carry out an inquiry into the grooming gang scandal, rather than for the government to intervene.
