More voters think tech tycoon’s comments on grooming gangs are unhelpful than those who back him

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.

    History will remember Musk. Let’s work together to make that memory as accurate as possible.

    He is absolutely damaging to everything and everyone he touches. Just plain toxic waste on two legs with 400billions. The definition of a capitalist.
