Elon Musk has bizarrely called for King Charles to dissolve Parliament and demanded an MP to be sent to jail in an extraordinary outburst. The world’s richest man, who owns X, has shared and reacted to tweets critical of the government and the Prime Minister after Labour rejected a call for an inquiry into child grooming.
In his latest attacks on Keir Starmer, Musk shared a post asking whether Charles “should dissolve parliament and order a General Election… for the sake and security” of Britain. Musk retweeted the X thread with a one-word comment: “Yes.”. The 53-year-old Starlink boss continued to wade into the debate overnight, hours after he posted that safeguarding minister Jess Phillips “deserves to be in prison” after she denied requests for the Home Office to lead a public inquiry into child sexual exploitation in Oldham on Thursday.
He also suggested the Prime Minister had failed to bring “rape gangs” to justice when he was director of public prosecutions. Mr Musk reposted an article in The Daily Telegraph by shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick in which he says the “grooming gangs” should be renamed “torture rape gangs”.
He wrote that Mr Musk’s comments had shamed “the establishment by taking more interest in bringing these rape gangs to justice in one evening than most of the British establishment has for decades”. Mr Musk continued his criticism in a post alongside footage of The Times’ chief investigative reporter Andrew Norfolk as he detailed the scope of the case and police mishandling, calling it “State-sponsored evil.”.
