Elon Musk has sparked controversy in the UK after advocating for King Charles III to shut down Parliament and call for a new election. The Tesla boss made the suggestion in response to criticism of the government’s handling of criminal gang investigations in Manchester.
Musk criticized the Crown Prosecution Service’s (CPS) handling of serious crimes like rape, suggesting that former CPS head Keir Starmer was responsible for allowing gangs to exploit young girls without justice. He also questioned Labour Minister Jess Phillips’ stance on launching a new public inquiry into grooming in Oldham.
Health Secretary Wes Streeting and Labour Minister Andrew Gwynne criticized Musk’s comments, saying they were “misjudged and certainly misinformed.” They emphasized the need for justice and accountability in addressing grooming cases like those in Telford, Rotherham, and Oldham. The debate surrounding Musk’s involvement has intensified, with some praising his efforts to bring attention to these issues while others have accused him of overstepping his bounds.
