Elon Musk’s tirade against ’rape gangs’ in UK draws minister’s rebuke: ‘Pay attention, focus on America’
Live MintThe United Kingdom has responded to Elon Musk's tirade against the ruling Labour Party over its handling of the grooming gang scandal of child sexual abuse, saying the remarks were “misjudged and certainly misinformed”. Hitting back at Elon Musk, UK Health Secretary Wes Streeting said the Tesla chief “got a big role to play with his social media platform”. Echoing the same sentiments over Elon Musk's remarks on the “rape gangs” in the United Kingdom, Labour Minister Andrew Gwynne said the Tesla chief was an American citizen and he should "focus issues on the other side of the Atlantic.” “The grooming issue is a very serious issue. What we need is justice for the victims, and we need to make sure that the criminal justice system follows up and makes sure that these atrocious things are never able to happen again.” Elon Musk has been severely criticising the British government for the “poor” handling of the sexual exploitation of several girls across England more than a decade ago.
