The tech billionaire and key advisor to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has taken to social media to air his grievances with the British government.

Summary

Elon Musk sparked controversy after criticizing U.K. officials on social media, accusing Safeguarding Minister Jess Phillips of being a “rape genocide apologist” and calling for Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s removal over child grooming gang prosecutions.

Musk also suggested “liberating” Britain in a poll.

Starmer defended his record as former director of public prosecutions, condemning Musk for spreading misinformation and fueling far-right threats.

U.K. Health Minister Wes Streeting labeled Musk’s comments a “disgraceful smear.”

    That … or just suddenly decide…actually, the US owns all of Antarctica.

    Or the Moon.
