A senior British politician pushed back Friday on Elon Musk’s criticism of the government’s handling of a historic child grooming scandal.
In recent days, Musk has shared and reacted to posts on his X platform that have been critical of the British government after it rejected a call for a public inquiry into the grooming scandal in the north of England town of Oldham.
Though Health Secretary Wes Streeting said Musk’s views were was “misjudged and certainly misinformed,” he urged the world’s richest man and close confidant of U.S. president-elect Donald Trump to work with the government on tackling the issue of child sexual exploitation.
The government has argued that Oldham must follow in the footsteps of other towns and commission its own inquiry into the historical abuse of mainly girls.
