Elon Musk Discovers Secret Tunnel Under Girlfriend’s $49M Mansion—What’s Inside?

Elon Musk uses X to roast European leaders, promote the far right.

Musk frequently wields his 211.5-million-follower account on X, the social media platform he bought for $44 billion in 2022, to air political grievances and promote far-right issues.

He has turned his online megaphone to European issues, and especially the U.K., where he latched onto a years-old child sexual exploitation scandal to attack Prime Minister Keir Starmer and promote anti-immigrant sentiment.

But European regulators could crack down on Musk’s use of his platform, as some European leaders have bristled at his insults and influence.

Why did Elon Musk get involved in British politics?

Late last month, Musk resurfaced years-old cases involving “grooming gangs” in the U.K.

In particular, Musk seized on an investigation that found authorities in the city of Rotherham failed to stop the sexual exploitation of around 1,400 children over a 16-year period to lash out at “woke” and anti-racist policies, a longstanding issue for of the American right wing and Musk’s supporters in the U.S.

The Rotherham scandal involved predominantly British-Pakistani men. Musk’s characterization of the scandal echoed Islamophobic and anti-immigrant sentiments that boiled over in a wave of violence in the U.K. spurred by X posts last summer.

On Sunday, Musk posted an online poll to ask whether “America should liberate the people of Britain from their tyrannical government.”

Much of his vitriol is directed at Starmer, who Musk called “utterly despicable” and whom claimed “repeatedly ignored the pleas of vast numbers of little girls and their parents, in order to secure political support” in a Monday post on X.
