Summary

A majority of Britons believe Elon Musk negatively impacts UK politics, according to an Opinium poll.

Musk has used his platform X to criticize Keir Starmer and Labour’s stance on grooming gang inquiries, calling Starmer “deeply complicit” and accusing Jess Phillips of being a “rape genocide apologist.”

53% of voters believe Musk’s involvement in British politics is negative, while 47% find his comments about grooming gangs unhelpful. Only 12% see his involvement positively.

Reform UK supporters oppose his criticism of Nigel Farage, and public opinion on another national grooming inquiry remains divided.
