Grooming scandal: Musk misinformed, says UK minister
The New Indian Express Thiruvananthapuram|January 04, 2025
A senior British politician pushed back on Friday on Elon Musk's criticism of the government's handling of a historic child grooming scandal.

In recent days, Musk has shared and reacted to posts on his X platform that have been critical of the British government after it rejected a call for a public inquiry into the grooming scandal in the north of England town of Oldham.

Though Health Secretary Wes Streeting said Musk's views were "misjudged and certainly misinformed," he urged the world's richest man and close confidant of US President-elect Donald Trump to work with the government on tackling the issue of child sexual exploitation.
