Musk has posted a TON about this case being proof that the UK is an authoritarian state now because hurting people’s feelings and free speech can get you thrown in jail.
 


BBC:

“Far-right activist Tommy Robinson has been jailed for 18 months after admitting contempt of court by repeating false claims against a Syrian refugee.

Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, admitted 10 breaches of a High Court order made in 2021, during a hearing at Woolwich Crown Court.

Lawyers for the solicitor general accused the 41-year-old of "undermining" the rule of law.

Passing sentence, Judge Mr Justice Johnson said the breaches of the injunction, which prevented Yaxley-Lennon from repeating the allegations, were not “accidental, negligent or merely reckless” and the custodial threshold was "amply crossed”.

…The hearing on Monday was the culmination of events that date back to October 2018.

That month, a video went viral showing how Jamal Hijazi, a Syrian in West Yorkshire, had been attacked by another teenager at school.

Yaxley-Lennon then posted his own response to one million Facebook followers alleging that his investigation had established that Mr Hijazi was a violent thug, a claim that was untrue.

The Yaxley-Lennon video spread widely and the Syrian teenager and his family received death threats.

Three years later, Mr Hijazi won £100,000 in damages when the High Court ruled Yaxley-Lennon’s claims against him had amounted to defamation.

The court imposed an injunction on Yaxley-Lennon, banning him from making the false claims again.

In February 2023, Yaxley-Lennon, who founded the long-defunct English Defence League (EDL), began repeating the claims and went on to post online a film claiming he had been “silenced” by the state. …”

“… That film may have been viewed at least 47 million times.

Eventually, this July, the anti-Islam activist showed the film to thousands of his supporters in London's Trafalgar Square, saying he would not be silenced. The following day he left the country.

Aidan Eardley KC, for Solicitor General Sarah Sackman, told the court that Yaxley-Lennon had intended to repeat the false allegations, despite the injunction, and then take “evasive” measures.

… Sasha Wass KC, for Yaxley-Lennon, said he was a journalist who had been following his principles and was a passionate believer in free speech.

“This defendant has been neither sly nor dishonest nor seeking gain for himself,” she said.

She said that he was such a controversial figure he may be placed in solitary confinement by prison governors, as had occurred the last time he had been jailed, and there was medical evidence he had previously suffered trauma, panic attacks and nightmares.

Jailing Yaxley-Lennon for 18 months, Mr Justice Johnson said: “In a democratic society underpinned by the rule of law, court orders must be obeyed.

“Nobody is above the law. Nobody can pick or choose which laws or which injunctions they obey, or which they do not. …”
 

Musk 'misinformed' on grooming gangs, says Streeting​

Elon Musk 'misinformed' on grooming gangs, says Wes Streeting - BBC News

The Conservatives have also criticised the billionaire for "sharing things that are factually inaccurate".
www.bbc.com www.bbc.com

“Elon Musk's attack on the government's handling of grooming gangs is "misjudged and certainly misinformed", Health Secretary Wes Streeting has said.

Tech multi-billionaire Musk has posted a series of messages on his social media site X, accusing Sir Keir Starmer of failing to prosecute gangs that systematically groomed and raped young girls, and calling for safeguarding minister Jess Phillips to be jailed.

Asked about his comments, Streeting said "this government takes the issue of child sexual exploitation incredibly seriously".

… The Tories have also criticised Musk for "sharing things that are factually inaccurate".

…
He told reporters: "Some of the criticisms Elon Musk has made I think are misjudged and certainly misinformed.

"But we're willing to work with Elon Musk who I think has got a big role to play with his social media platform to help us and other countries tackle these serious issues.

"If he wants to work with us and roll his sleeves up, we'd welcome that."

Musk, a key adviser to US President-elect Donald Trump, has accused Sir Keir of failing to properly prosecute rape gangs while director of public prosecutions (DPP), and has repeatedly retweeted Reform UK and Conservative MPs calling for a national inquiry.

He also suggested safeguarding minister Jess Phillips "deserves to be in prison" after she rejected a request for the Home Office to order a public inquiry into child sexual exploitation in Oldham. She said the council should commission a local inquiry instead, as happened in Rotherham and Telford.

The decision was criticised by several senior Tories, despite the previous Conservative government turning down a similar request in 2022. …”

A key advisor to the incoming POTUS is using misinformation and distortion to stir up an investigation of the UK government and a basis for demanding new elections. He is platforming a lot of UK extremists and fringe figures from a position as a presidential advisor in waiting.
 
(Continued)

“… Tory leader Kemi Badenoch has called for a full national public inquiry into what she called the UK's "rape gangs scandal".
But the party has also criticised Musk for "sharing things that are factually inaccurate" and distanced itself from his call for Phillips to be jailed.

Alicia Kearns – who shadows Phillips as the Conservative spokesperson on safeguarding – told BBC Radio 5 Live Musk had "fallen prone" to sharing things on his X platform "without critically assessing them".

She accused Musk of "drawing away attention from the survivors and from the victims" of rape gangs, and "lionising people like [far-right activist] Tommy Robinson - which is frankly dangerous".

Meanwhile, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage praised Musk as "an absolute hero figure" and "very helpful to our cause" on Friday. The two men met at Trump's Florida retreat last month.

He told the BBC that Musk had not donated to his party, but that "he's fully in support of us, he wants us to win the next election". He said that Musk "has said he's minded to give us some money if there's a legal way to do it".

… There have been numerous investigations into the systematic rape of girls and young women by organised gangs, including in Rotherham, Cornwall, Derbyshire and Bristol.
Inquiries into Greater Manchester Police's (GMP) handling of historical child sex abuse cases in Manchester, Oldham and Rochdale have also been carried out.

Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham said tackling grooming gangs was "not something to be politicised".

"We've done this when others were looking in a different direction," Burnham added.

… "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," he said.

The Independent Inquiry into Child Sex Abuse (IICSA), which published its final report in 2022, described the sexual abuse of children as an "epidemic that leaves tens of thousands of victims in its poisonous wake".
It knitted several previous inquiries together alongside its own investigations.

Professor Jay said in November she felt "frustrated" that none of her report's 20 recommendations to tackle abuse had been implemented more than two years later. …”

[Short answer - Musk is pressing for a right-wing government in the UK]

“… The tech billionaire triggered an attack on the government on Thursday, as he suggested Ms Phillips “deserves to be in prison”.

He also appeared to place blame at Starmer’s door, arguing that “rape gangs were allowed to exploit young girls without facing justice” during Sir Keir’s time as director of public prosecutions.

Since the Tesla boss posted his claims on X, several high profile figures including Tory leader Kemi Badenoch have also spoken out calling for a full inquiry into the sexual abuse.

… The criticism began after safeguarding minister Jess Phillips formally denied requests for the Home Office to lead a public inquiry into child sexual exploitation and grooming in Oldham.

Ms Phillips said she recognised the “strength of feeling” for a Home Office-led inquiry, but she told the local council the Government will not “intervene”.

“I believe it is for Oldham Council alone to decide to commission an inquiry into child sexual exploitation locally, rather than for the Government to intervene,” she said. …”​

 
(Cont’d)

“… Instead of the Government leading a probe, Oldham must follow in the footsteps of other towns like Rotherham and Telford and commission its own inquiry into historical abuse of children, Ms Phillips said in a letter to the local council.

The last Tory government also rejected a similar request from Oldham council for a public inquiry, saying it is for local authorities to commission local inquiries.

… The businessman, who owns X, has used the social media site to post or repost about child grooming in the UK more than 40 times over the last 24 hours.

… Mr Musk also shared a post asking whether King Charles “should dissolve parliament and order a general election… for the sake and security” of Britain.

… A national inquiry by Professor Alexis Jay concluded in 2022, and probes into Greater Manchester Police’s handling of historical child sex abuse cases in Manchester, Oldham and Rochdale have already been carried out.

The inquiry looked into abuse by organised groups following multiple convictions of sexual offences against children across the UK between 2010-2014, including in Rotherham, Cornwall, Derbyshire, Rochdale and Bristol.

… Mr Streeting said the Government was committed to implementing the recommendations of Professor Jay’s report “in full”.

The Health Secretary also told the PA news agency that ministers were supportive of an inquiry into the Oldham scandal, but signalled it had to be led locally. …”
 


But he will sure as shit use him to pressure new elections with Musk’s support for his party to usher in a new far right government of Breiteers and anti-immigrant/White Nationalists in the UK.
 
He’s using venal right wing politicians, internationally, to cement corporatocracy, with himself as the comically on-the-nose super villain. Elon Musk doesn’t give two shits about sex trafficking in the UK; he cares about hurting politicians that would dare create obstacles to his accretion of power.
 




Note, too, how Musk is co-opting (if possible) the Q-Anon strategy of using real (and then embellished and ultimately fabricated in the Q space) child sexual abuse and trafficking to recruit people to a far right cause. Convince people that they are fighting against child-raping lizard people and convince them their own government is hiding/running the evil cover-up and abuse, then they believe any other conspiracy you post and you direct them against whatever political target you choose.

The 2022 national report on these “rape gangs” and child sex groomers was full of a lot of horrific details. Stuff that should be prevented and if not prevented harshly punished. But Musk is turning a dispute about jurisdiction over an investigation into a claim of unwillingness to investigate, then tying it to a far far right anti-immigrant provocateur who intentionally and repeatedly spread lies about a particular immigrant despite losing court cases etc. — a guy so rotten that even Farrage wants to keep his distance.

It is gross exploitation of a serious issue that requires serious government response for political chaos aimed at positioning pols he can control in power in another country (having already bought a spot in the upper echelon of the Trump Administration).

And Musk is similarly promoting a far right neo-Nazi party in German elections.

He is publicly announced member of the incoming administration, attacked at the hip to Trump and absolutely out of control. He should lose any security clearance he has, but of course he owns Trump who will restore and like expand his clearance.

Billionaires shouldn’t exist, for more than just the rank and inherent inequities.
 
If in the year 2000, you had a bet that in 25 years that a South African would be on the cusp of bossing multiple governments globally by way of social media pressure, thereby coercing governments in some of the most powerful countries on the planet to do his bidding, you might be as rich as Elon is.


Whoever said he was becoming a super-villain on this post isn't that far off. How the heck is our government going to say no to him?

Nobody is going to push back on him. Nobody has the power to do so.

Having been empowered to do so by the American proletariat. That’s what’s most stunning to me.
