The X-owning billionaire has waded into one of the darkest scandals in recent British history: the horrific rape and abuse of thousands of girls across the UK by so-called “grooming gangs”.
Musk’s inflammatory posts on his social media platform, X - including personal attacks on Jess Phillips and others - have prompted statements from Keir Starmer, questions from Kemi Badenoch in PMQs, and extensive coverage across the mainstream media.

Andrew Marr joins Hannah Barnes and Rachel Cunliffe on Politics from the New Statesman.
