  • Billionaire and owner of X Elon Musk has attacked Sir Keir Starmer and the Labour government over its response to grooming gangs in the UK. Pressure has mounted on the prime minister after safeguarding minister Jess Phillips denied requests for the Home Office to lead a public inquiry into child sexual exploitation and grooming in Oldham.

Elon Musk has publicly criticized UK Labour Party leader Keir Starmer, accusing him of being a "pro-censorship" politician. This criticism stems from Musk's broader concerns about freedom of speech, particularly in relation to his management of X Corp (formerly known as Twitter). Musk's comments were triggered by a report from the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), which suggested that hate speech on the platform had increased since Musk's acquisition. Musk has labeled the CCDH as "pro-censorship" and has threatened legal action against them. His attack on Starmer seems to be an extension of this conflict, as Starmer has been vocal about the need for social media platforms to address hate speech and misinformation more effectively. This situation highlights the ongoing tension between free speech advocates and those pushing for stricter content moderation on social media platforms.
