Elon Musk’s Role in Grooming Gangs Debate Highlights Potential Chaos from Hostile Foreign Influence, Watchdog Warns

Elon Musk Says ‘Woke Mind Virus’ Has ‘Killed’ His Son, Vows Revenge

Jonathan Hall, the independent reviewer of state threats legislation, described Musk’s actions as a “canary in the coal mine moment” for the UK. The billionaire tech mogul, widely recognized as the world’s richest man, has used his social media platform, X, to criticize Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and senior ministers over Labour’s stance on rejecting a national inquiry into grooming gangs.

Musk has also endorsed far-right figure Tommy Robinson, further fueling political controversy. In response, Sir Keir accused Musk of “spreading lies and misinformation” to his 210 million followers on the platform.

In an interview with The Times, Hall noted that Musk’s influence has significantly shaped the political discourse in the UK. “This one intervention by a powerful foreign individual has entirely dictated the political weather in the UK,” he said. However, he clarified that Musk does not meet the definition of foreign interference, as he is not acting on behalf of the U.S.

“If you had malign intervention by a state, there’s no reason to think at the moment we would be any less affected, unless the system matures,” Hall added. He emphasized the importance of adapting to how social media can manipulate public discourse. “It is having a real impact on ministers, the Opposition, and political campaigning.”

The issue of grooming gangs has resurfaced, with Tory leader Kemi Badenoch and Reform UK’s Nigel Farage demanding a new inquiry following Musk’s comments. Critics argue a new national investigation is unnecessary, pointing to an earlier report chaired by Professor Alexis Jay in 2022, which produced actionable recommendations yet to be implemented.

Hall viewed the controversy as an opportunity to strengthen the system’s resilience. “This is a fantastic opportunity for testing the resilience of the political system. In that regard, there’s a silver lining to this,” he said. He also questioned how political actors should respond to such external pressures, noting that sanitizing social media is “for the birds.”

Foreign Secretary David Lammy, speaking to BBC Breakfast, urged Musk to focus on facts and truth in his public discourse. “To have free speech, it must be based on facts and on truth. Some of what we’ve seen online is peddling mistruth, creating bad faith, and is very unfair to those victims,” Lammy said.
