Summary
Elon Musk sparked controversy after criticizing U.K. officials on social media, accusing Safeguarding Minister Jess Phillips of being a “rape genocide apologist” and calling for Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s removal over child grooming gang prosecutions.
Musk also suggested “liberating” Britain in a poll.
Starmer defended his record as former director of public prosecutions, condemning Musk for spreading misinformation and fueling far-right threats.
U.K. Health Minister Wes Streeting labeled Musk’s comments a “disgraceful smear.”
I sometimes wonder how it must feel to go through your daily life knowing that there’s a large percentage of the entire planet’s population that either actively wants you dead or, if not, would celebrate (or at least not care) if you died.
It can’t be a good feeling. I appreciate that. I hope it feels absolutely terrible.
Unfortunately that’s just being a minority.
True, but I meant more that people want specific individuals to die, as opposed to groups of people. I am, unfortunately, quite familiar with being hated for being part of certain groups.
