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.”
You know, Musk is going to piss off the wrong powerful person at some point. Putin may be the window thrower, but he’s not the only state actor willing to get blood on his hands.
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.

I for one would celebrate… I would literally dance in the streets
