No one wants Starmer gone more than me – I said before he was ‘elected’ on 34% of the vote that his would be one of the most despised governments in UK history. It didn’t take long. BUT. We have little boy in short trousers Musk seeking to dictate elections in gathering countries and do we really want technocratic, billionaire oligarchs dictating elections and having the winner obligated to him like Trump?

Elon Musk calls on King Charles to order a new general election – as pressure mounts on Keir Starmer over grooming gangs inquiry

Elon Musk opened a new front in his war with Labour overnight as he backed a madcap call for King Charles to dissolve Parliament and order a new general election.

The billionaire X owner and Donald Trump adviser shared a post demanding the monarch step in, as he clashed with the government over grooming gangs.

He has jumped in on a row over the government’s refusal to back a probe into gangs of British Asian men targeting teenage girls in Oldham, Greater Manchester.

Mr Musk, who last week praised the far right Alternative fur Deutschland (AfD) party in Germany, is lining up alongside senior Reform UK and Conservative politicians demanding a fresh inquiry.

In his latest attacks on Sir Keir Starmer, Mr Musk shared a post asking whether Charles ‘should dissolve parliament and order a General Election… for the sake and security’ of Britain.

Mr Musk retweeted the X thread with a one-word comment: ‘Yes.’

But his continued interest in UK politics was criticised by a Labour minister this morning.

Asked about the Tesla owner’s criticisms, Health Minister Andrew Gwynne told LBC: ‘Elon Musk is an American citizen and perhaps ought to focus on issues on the other side of the Atlantic.

He added: ‘But look, the grooming issue is a very serious issue. We’ve already had inquiries into Telford, into Rotherham, we’ve had a local inquiry commissioned by Andy Burnham, the mayor of Greater Manchester, into the situation here in Greater Manchester which includes Oldham.

‘We’ve had the national child sexual exploitation inquiry in 2022 which the Government is seriously considering, there is a long list of recommendations that was made.

‘There comes a point where we don’t need more inquiries, and had Elon Musk really paid attention to what’s been going on in this country, he might have recognised that there have already been inquiries.

‘What we need is justice for the victims, and we need to make sure that the criminal justice system follows up and make sure that these atrocious things are never able to happen again.’

The King undemocratically dissolving Parliament of his own volition six months after voters went to the polls would trigger an immediate constitutional crisis in the UK.

In his Christmas address to the nation, the monarch praised ‘diversity of culture, ethnicity and faith’ for providing ‘strength, not weakness’.
