Musk accused of ‘disgraceful smear’ in attacks against safeguarding minister

ELON MUSK'S attacks against safeguarding minster Jess Phillips over grooming gangs were labelled a “disgraceful smear” today.

The tech billionaire owner of social media platform X, Tesla and Space X suggested Ms Philips “deserves to be in prison” and called her a “rape genocide apologist.”

His comments came after she denied requests for the Home Office to lead a public inquiry into child sexual exploitation in Oldham.
