Elon Musk has made headlines once again with his controversial statements on social media. This time, he called for the release of jailed British far-right activist Tommy Robinson and criticized UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer for his handling of grooming scandals.
Musk took to his own social media platform to express his views, stating that Robinson, also known as Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, “should be freed” and questioning why he is in solitary confinement for speaking the truth. He also called out those who covered up the controversies, suggesting they should take Robinson’s place behind bars.
In addition to his comments on Robinson, Musk also shared posts about the grooming scandals that plagued various English towns, criticizing Starmer’s response during his time as head of the CPS. While Starmer did initiate a prosecution in Rochdale following the scandal, Musk’s posts insinuated that he was responsible for allowing rape gangs to exploit young girls without consequences.
Musk’s controversial statements have garnered support from far-right figures and right-wing channels, further fueling the debate around his involvement in politics. This is not the first time Musk has made headlines for his political views, as he has openly supported other far-right figures in Europe and backed Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.
As Musk continues to make waves with his statements, it remains to be seen how his involvement in politics will impact his reputation and business ventures.
