Elon Musk staged a scandalous poll: suggests the US liberate one of the European nations

American billionaire and owner of the X platform Elon Musk has again found himself at the center of an international scandal. This time he raised the question of whether the United States should “liberate the people of Great Britain from a tyrannical government.”

Elon Musk has been increasingly critical of the British government in recent weeks over its response to the child abuse scandal, particularly targeting Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Security Minister Jessie Phillips. Musk has called Phillips an “apologist for rape genocide” and called for Starmer's removal, accusing the government of failing to adequately combat child abuse.

In his criticism, Musk mentioned that Starmer, before his political career, was the Director of the Crown Prosecution Service and dealt with sex crimes cases where the perpetrators were allegedly not punished. 

The result of Musk's activity was a poll on the X platform, where he asked: “Should the US free the British people from their government?” Almost 700 thousand users took part in the vote, and 62.2% expressed support for this idea, while 38.8% voted against.

Keir Starmer responded to Musk's scandalous statements at a press conference, noting that the fight against sex crimes is an important issue. 

“On the question of Elon Musk… it's a really important set of issues. The sexual exploitation of children — it's extremely disgusting,” — Starmer said, adding that “those who spread lies and misinformation as far and wide as possible — they don't care about the victims, they care about themselves,” likely referring to Elon Musk.
