  • Minister hits back at Elon Musk as tech billionaire steps up criticism of Keir Starmer over grooming gangs - Health minister Andrew Gwynne said the Tesla tycoon should focus on US politics as row over

The article discusses the escalating feud between Elon Musk and UK political figures over the issue of grooming gangs. Elon Musk, the tech billionaire, has criticized Labour Party leader Keir Starmer for his handling of grooming gang cases, particularly highlighting what Musk perceives as Starmer's reluctance to address the ethnicity of the perpetrators, which are often of Pakistani origin. In response, UK Security Minister Tom Tugendhat has defended Starmer, accusing Musk of spreading misinformation and not understanding the complexities of UK law enforcement and community relations. Tugendhat emphasized that the government's focus is on protecting all children from abuse, regardless of the ethnicity of the offenders, and criticized Musk for potentially fueling racial tensions with his comments. This back-and-forth has stirred a broader debate on social media about race, crime, and political accountability in the UK.
