ELON MUSK does not care about child rape victims nor justice, said Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer today as he warned the world’s richest man that a “line has been crossed” when people receive serious threats as a result of the “poison of the far right.”

The tech billionaire ally of Donald Trump has called safeguarding minister Jess Phillips a “rape genocide apologist” who “deserves to be in prison” for denying requests for a Home Office-led inquiry into child sexual exploitation in Oldham.

The Tesla owner also suggested that Sir Keir was “complicit in the crimes” of child-sex offenders in his ongoing tirade to his 210 million followers on his X social media site.

Today Sir Keir said: “Those that are spreading lies and misinformation as far and as wide as possible are not interested in victims, they are interested in themselves.”

He also criticised Mr Musk’s support for jailed right-wing activist Tommy Robinson, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, saying: “Those who are cheerleading Tommy Robinson are not interested in justice.

“They’re supporting a man who went to prison for nearly collapsing a grooming case, a gang grooming case.”

Sir Keir said that he had dealt with the grooming gangs “head-on” as director of public prosecutions and that the Tories were “amplifying” far-right lies about child sexual abuse.

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has defended shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick for describing Britons of Pakistani origin as “people from alien cultures” while calling for an open debate about the abuse and rape of women and girls by grooming gangs.

But former Tory No10 aide Samuel Kasumu said Mr Jenrick could become “the most divisive person in our political history” and “has the potential to incite hatred in ways that I have never seen” that could “result in some people maybe even dying.”

Sir Keir said: “What I won’t tolerate is politicians jumping on the bandwagon, simply to get attention when those politicians sat in government for 14 long years, tweeting, talking, but not doing anything about it.

“Now, so desperate for attention that they’re amplifying what the far right is saying.”

Professor Alexis Jay, who chaired the Independent Inquiry into Child Sex Abuse, has warned against “politicising” the issue and called for the full implementation of her report’s recommendations instead of a new inquiry.

Campaign group Act on IICSA, which is chaired by Prof Jay, urged the government to provide a clear timeline to deliver on these commitments.

The government said it was working “at pace” to deliver the reforms set out in the 2022 review, which found abuse was “endemic” across society in England and Wales.
