Elon Musk Urges King Charles to Call for a General Election, Posting 23 Times in an Hour on UK Issues

Elon Musk has called for King Charles to dissolve the UK Parliament and order a new General Election, expressing his concerns over the government’s handling of grooming gangs. Musk, known for his strong political stance on global issues, criticized the government, particularly in relation to the ongoing scandal involving British Asian men allegedly targeting teenage girls in areas like Oldham, Greater Manchester. In a series of at least 23 posts within an hour, Musk shared his support for the call to dissolve Parliament, replying “Yes” to a post asking whether King Charles should call for a fresh election to ensure the security of Britain.

In one of his posts, Musk accused Keir Starmer, the leader of the Labour Party, of being complicit in the “rape of Britain” during his tenure as head of the Crown Prosecution Service. Musk argued that Starmer should face charges for his alleged role in what Musk described as the “worst mass crime” in British history.

The UK government swiftly criticized Musk’s comments. Health Secretary Wes Streeting stated that Musk’s opinion was misinformed, stressing that the government takes child sexual exploitation very seriously. Health Minister Andrew Fwyne suggested that Musk, as an American, should focus on issues in the US. He also pointed out that there had already been several inquiries into child sexual exploitation in the UK, including investigations in Rotherham, Telford, and Greater Manchester, and that further inquiries might not be necessary.

Musk’s remarks come in the context of ongoing concerns over grooming gangs in the UK, particularly involving Pakistani-British men. An inquiry into these gangs in Rotherham revealed that 1,400 children had been sexually abused over a 16-year period, predominantly by men of South Asian descent. Other investigations in northern England have highlighted similar issues.

Social media users have pointed out that if King Charles were to dissolve Parliament six months after the last election, it could trigger a constitutional crisis in the UK.
