The English minister who said "defending rapes" made shocking remarks to Elon Musk.

The UK Minister of State for Protection, Jess Phillips, stated that the accusations made by American billionaire Elon Musk, calling her a "defender of rape genocide," are "nonsense," and emphasized that Musk should focus on his own projects instead of interfering in UK politics.

BRITISH MINISTER RESPONDS TO AMERICAN BILLIONAIRE MUSK'S ALLEGATIONS

Phillips responded to Musk, the owner of X, who made harsh criticisms regarding the investigation into child abuse cases in the country, during a program she attended on Sky News.

Minister Phillips emphasized that attempts to use child abuse as a "political tool" harm the victims, stating, "Instead of turning child abuse into a political football, we should strive to actually do something."

"MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS, ELON MUSK"

Criticizing Musk for interfering in UK politics, Phillips said, "Elon Musk should mind his own business and continue his efforts to go to Mars."

Minister Phillips described Musk's accusations of her being a "defender of rape genocide" as nonsense, asserting that it will be the victims, not Musk, who will guide what she has to say.

Phillips announced that the ruling Labour Party government plans to hold a summit with local leaders in areas where local investigations into child abuse are needed. She expressed that they aim to ensure effective practices in regions like Telford are implemented nationwide.

The British Minister also announced that the government will implement new measures, including a regulation that makes it mandatory for professionals working with children to report abuse complaints. This measure is expected to be implemented in the spring under the Crime and Policing Act.

SAID MUSK'S DISINFORMATION PUT HIM IN DANGER

In an interview with the BBC, Phillips stated that the disinformation spread by Elon Musk "puts him in danger," but added that this is nothing compared to what abuse victims experience.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer also harshly criticized Musk's statements towards Minister Phillips in a statement he made yesterday. Starmer said, "Lies and misinformation are being spread, which means a line has been crossed."

Prime Minister Starmer accused Musk and the politicians supporting him of politicizing the issue of child abuse.

MUSK CALLED PHILLIPS A "DEFENDER OF RAPE GENOCIDE"

Elon Musk's statements came after Phillips rejected a request for a national investigation into child abuse cases in Oldham by the Home Office in October 2024. Minister Phillips stated that it would be more appropriate for the investigation to be conducted at the local level.

After Phillips' decision was brought to the agenda with a news report dated January 1, Musk accused Jess Phillips of being a "defender of rape genocide" in his posts on X and argued that she should be imprisoned.

Oldham was one of the centers of the child abuse scandal that emerged in 2013 and resonated nationwide.
