Elon Musk Criticizes UK Prime Minister Over Past Abuse Scandal

The tech billionaire's attacks on Keir Starmer reignite debates on institutional failures during historic child exploitation cases in England.

Elon Musk has launched a series of inflammatory accusations against UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, focusing on Starmer's tenure as Director of Public Prosecutions from 2008 to 2013.
The controversy stems from a child exploitation scandal in northern England, where over 1,400 children were systematically abused between 1997 and 2013, as revealed in the 2014 Jay Report.
Musk accuses Starmer of failing to address systemic issues in prosecuting the crimes, though reports attribute primary responsibility to local authorities and institutions for mishandling cases.
Starmer defends his record, highlighting efforts to pursue justice for victims during his leadership and accusing Musk of spreading misinformation for personal motives.
The renewed debate has drawn attention to unresolved recommendations from past investigations, with critics warning that political distractions overshadow the need for systemic reforms.
