A United Kingdom Secretary of State denounces that Elon Musk’s “disinformation” puts her “in danger”

MADRID Jan. 7 () –

The United Kingdom Undersecretary of State for Protection and Violence against Women, Jess Phillips, denounced this Tuesday that the “misinformation” spread by the South African tycoon Elon Musk – owner of the social network Donald Trump’s American president– are “putting her in danger.”

In recent days, Musk has echoed an alleged plot of sexual exploitation of minors in the United Kingdom that has operated for decades in part of the country and which Phillips refused to investigate at the national level, arguing that the investigations of local character were more effective in these areas.

The Labor Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, has come forward to defend his undersecretary, although the owner of This is the case of Phillips, for this issue.

Specifically, Musk has come to classify the undersecretary as an “apologist for genocide and rape” and has advocated for her imprisonment. Given this, Phillips took advantage of an interview on the BBC to denounce the situation, although he clarified that “it is nothing” compared to what victims of sexual abuse have to experience.

Asked if these statements by Musk represent a threat to her own safety, Phillips has acknowledged that they do, and has been “resigned to the fate” that she faces “as a woman who fights against violence against women and girls.” “I’m no stranger to people who don’t know what they’re talking about trying to silence women like me,” she added.

These criticisms from Musk come after Phillips rejected a request for the Starmer Government to lead a public inquiry into an alleged child sexual exploitation plot in Oldham, north-east of Manchester, prompting the opposition to demand a national investigation.

These events occurred in October of last year, but it was not until this last week that a British news portal echoed what happened, and later Musk himself aired the matter on his own social network, even linking it to the arrest. of the far-right agitator ‘Tommy Robinson’.
