LONDON — A British minister who Elon Musk has described as a "rape genocide apologist" said on Tuesday (Jan 7) the US billionaire knew "absolutely nothing" about the child sexual abuse scandals he has recently been commenting on.

Musk, an ally of US President-elect Donald Trump, has spent days posting messages on his social media site X accusing Britain's Prime Minister Keir Starmer of failing to prosecute gangs of men who raped young girls when Starmer was director of public prosecutions between 2008 and 2013.

Musk has also attacked Starmer's safeguarding minister Jess Phillips, describing her as a "rape genocide apologist" who should be in jail. Phillips has spent much of her career working with victims of domestic violence, sexual violence and human trafficking.
