Elon Musk advocates for the release of Tommy Robinson and calls for charges against Keir Starmer regarding the handling of a rape scandal.
Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and owner of X, has urged the release of Tommy Robinson, a British right-wing activist imprisoned in October for a documentary containing defamatory statements about a Syrian refugee.
Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, received an 18-month sentence for falsely claiming in a documentary that a Syrian teenager assaulted at a Yorkshire school in 2018 had a history of attacking female students.
”Free Tommy Robinson!” Musk declared on X, subsequently sharing a link to the documentary.
Robinson, a vocal critic of mass immigration and Islam, was a prominent figure among those condemning the “grooming gangs” scandal, involving the rape and torture of underage girls in northern England. The perpetrators were primarily Pakistani men, and the victims were predominantly white British girls.
Governments failed to adequately investigate the scandal, and police departments denied the existence of these gangs, according to later inquiries.
Musk highlighted instances of police mishandling the scandal, including the arrest of a father who tried to rescue his daughter from a rape scene and the failure to question rapists after taking a rape victim’s statement.
Musk termed the scandal “state-sponsored evil.”
Musk shared posts criticizing Lord Ahmed, Rotherham’s former Muslim mayor, later convicted of child sexual assault, and Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who headed the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) from 2008 to 2013.
Musk noted that the CPS’s approval is needed for police to charge suspects in serious crimes like rape, asking, “Who was the head of the CPS when rape gangs were allowed to exploit young girls without facing justice? Keir Starmer, 2008 -2013.”
“Starmer was complicit in the RAPE OF BRITAIN,” Musk stated, demanding Starmer’s resignation and prosecution for his alleged role in “the worst mass crime in British history.”
Musk also shared a poll indicating public dissatisfaction with Starmer’s government, advocating for a new election. He previously clashed with Starmer over the government’s response to online dissent following summer riots and described Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party as “the only way to save” the UK.
Musk’s prior meeting with Farage at Mar-a-Lago led to media reports of a $100 million donation to the Reform UK party, which Musk denied.
