Starmer Criticizes Musk for Misinformation

Elon Musk has escalated his criticism of U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, launching baseless attacks related to grooming gangs and calling for the release of jailed far-right activist Tommy Robinson. In response, Starmer condemned Musk's 'lies and misinformation,' emphasizing the dangers of far-right ideologies that Musk is allegedly promoting. Starmer defended his record in prosecuting grooming gangs, asserting that those spreading false narratives are more interested in personal gains than justice for victims. Musk's recent comments and support for controversial figures like Robinson have drawn ire from various European leaders, who express concern over his interference in domestic politics. The ongoing feud highlights the tension between Musk's social media influence and political accountability, as Starmer strives to maintain decorum amidst the chaos. This confrontation is particularly sensitive as it unfolds against the backdrop of Starmer's attempts to improve relations with the incoming U.S. administration under Donald Trump.
