As 2024 turned into 2025, and people across the globe woke up to hangovers and the dreaded return to work, the world’s richest man was sharing a conspiracy theory from 5,000 miles away.
In the first week of the year, Elon Musk sent dozens of posts on X (formerly Twitter), the social network he has owned since 2022, alleging complicity by the UK Labour Party in ongoing child sexual exploitation by Muslim men.
Musk’s posts include claims that a “quarter million little girls were – still are – being systematically raped by migrant gangs”, that the “snivelling cowards who allowed the mass rape of little girls are still in power”, and that the Labour Party “opposes a national inquiry on the mass rape of little girls in Britain for one reason only: it will show they are complicit.”
