An inquiry has found local British authorities negligent in responding to widespread child abuse.
Elon Musk has said he is prepared to finance legal cases against “corrupt officials” in Britain after an inquiry found “gross negligence” in handling grooming gang crimes.
The gangs, primarily involving men of Pakistani origin, have been active in the UK for decades, engaging in the systematic rape and torture of vulnerable girls, many underaged.
Posting on X on Tuesday, Musk said he would help finance legal cases against authorities that had allowed the abuse to continue.
”I would like to help fund legal actions against corrupt officials who aided and abetted the rape of Britain, per the official government inquiry,” Musk wrote.
The tech billionaire linked Reform UK MP Rupert Lowe’s inquiry into grooming gangs, which identified 85 local areas in which gang-related child sexual exploitation had taken place, both past and present.

According to Lowe, the investigation found a pattern of “gross negligence from public bodies” in dealing with “predominantly Pakistani rape gangs.”
He said the inquiry has been contacted by hundreds of survivors, relatives and whistleblowers since it began, while “thousands” of Freedom of Information requests were submitted to support the research.
In June, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer reversed his earlier position and agreed to launch a national inquiry into the sexual exploitation of thousands of girls by gangs.
“Start by condemning the grovelers and collaborators in positions of authority in Britain who aided the rape epidemic of their own people or turned a blind eye to their responsibilities,” Musk added in a later post. “Both civil and criminal prosecutions.”
Looking at you Starmer.
