Billionaire Elon Musk has sparked controversy by calling out UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer over what he described as a “national embarrassment” in a social media post. Musk’s bold comments have drawn attention for their sharp criticism of Keir’s policies, particularly concerning the prime minister’s handling of grooming gangs during his time as Director of Public Prosecutions. Musk took to X to voice his concerns, suggesting that Keir’s actions indicated an overreach into the safety of young girls as well as residents of his country. The tech mogul’s remark has ignited a firestorm of debate, with supporters praising his candidness while critics accuse him of crossing a line in his public feud with the British leader.
“Starmer must go,” Musk wrote on X.
Musk’s comments follow accusations against Starmer, claiming he suggested young girls under the age of consent could not make “informed choices.” This came after it was revealed that Starmer had sent an email to police forces nationwide, advising them against investigating the sexual exploitation of young girls. Musk is accusing the Prime Minister of consistently failing to hold “rape gangs” accountable, particularly Pakistani-Muslim grooming gangs that systematically exploited underage girls.
Health Secretary Wes Streeting described Musk’s remarks as “misjudged and certainly misinformed.”
Musk has long been involved in British politics but rarely praises its government. He once criticized Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, demanding that he step down and saying Farage doesn’t have what it takes to be the party leader.

RELATED: Girls are being groomed by criminal gangs ‘offering to pay for lip filler and Botox’ in return for moving drugs and guns, expert warns
DAILY MAIL ONLINE | Published January 6, 2025
Teenage girls and young women are being groomed by criminal ‘county lines’ drug gangs with offers to pay for lip filler and Botox, an expert has warned.
Vulnerable youths are increasingly being targeted by criminal enterprises with offers in exchange for helping transfer not only drugs but also guns, campaigners say.
And young women are proving especially prized, since they are seen as less likely to be targeted by police as their male counterparts, it has been suggested.
Jade Hibbert, from the educational charity the St Giles Trust, has raised the alert about the rising dangers being faced by girls and young women.
Her concerns come as the government faces increasing pressure over grooming gangs exploiting young girls for rape and sexual abuse.
Elon Musk, owner of social media platform X and the world’s richest person, has been condemning Labour after it emerged ministers had blocked calls for a new national inquiry into grooming gangs following a request by Oldham Council.
The parallel threat of county lines gangs abusing young women has now been raised by the St Giles Trust among other children’s charities.
And the use of beauty treatments as a lure for girls and young women is causing heightening fears among charity workers.
County lines is the term used to describe drug dealing where mobile phones are used to supply drugs and often using children as runners.
The gangs, which are linked to increasing violence in provincial towns and shire counties, recruit youngsters to transport drugs from cities to the provinces.
The National Police Chiefs’ Council estimates there are between 5,500 and 6,500 county lines networks across the UK.
And dealers running the operations have often made a point of pinpointing vulnerable children and young people to act as distributors.
St Giles, which operates across the UK, told of girls being offered lip fillers and beauty products in exchange for transporting drugs – as well as young mothers being persuaded to carry narcotics and firearms inside prams to swerve detection.
