British Elite Seem Angrier at Elon Musk than About Migrant R@pe Gangs

As I wrote last week, Elon Musk has ignited a firestorm by highlighting the decades-long scandal involving mainly Pakistani Muslim gangs who groomed and sexually assaulted thousands of British girls.

It has been a long-running scandal involving some of the worst organized sexual abuse you have ever heard of, not the least of which because the authorities knew about it, covered it up, and, when it came to light, downplayed its significance because they did not want to stir up racial and religious tensions. 

They chose to sacrifice women for political correctness. So much so that they arrested parents and activists who were fighting to stop the abuse and punish the abusers rather than protect the citizens they had sworn to protect. Police went so far as to accuse young girls of consenting to be raped rather than to pursue the rapists. 

There aren't two sides to this story. There was a conspiracy to cover up the most heinous of crimes. Nobody even denies the basic facts, but there has been no accountability. Many of the rapists are still in the same communities in which they committed the crimes, even years after having been convicted and barely punished for their crimes.

Elon Musk has lately been campaigning for accountability, and due to his influence, he has raised the profile of the issue in a way that hasn't been the case for years. To give you an idea of just how powerful his campaigning has been, here are the stories on the issue in The Telegraph for just the past few days. 


That's 16 major stories in 4 days in just one prominent newspaper. In other words, the story is enormous and so volatile that the Prime Minister is coming out today to address his own role in the scandal. He was the Crown Prosecutor when it first broke many years ago.

Elon Musk did that. Which is why the entire Establishment went insane when he bought Twitter. They lost control over the Narrative™.

So what has the reaction of the Establishment media and the Establishment in general been to the re-emergence of the scandal?

They are angry at Musk. The elite are more angry that Elon Musk is pointing the finger at them than that all these young women were assaulted. 

Members of the Labour Party--who sent 100 Labour staffers to the United States to campaign for Kamala Harris--are complaining about an American getting involved in British politics.

Starmer regularly cavorts with billionaires at World Economic Forum events and counts Bill Gates as a friend and supporter. complains that a billionaire is messing with matters that only Brits should be focused on.

Elon Musk is a bully. How dare he stand up for young girls who were abused by gangs and then abandoned by the government? These young women were an obstacle to the "Global Britain" post-racial culture the elite was so in love with promoting. 

Musk has been critical of the UK Labour Party for months now, largely based on what he (rightly) characterizes as a "two-tier" system of justice. Tens of thousands of Muslim protesters can roam the streets calling for Jihad, the murder of Jews, the imposition of Sharia law in Britain, and accusing British women of inviting rape by being immodest, and it's all cool.

Criticize this behavior, and you can go to jail. Even posting videos of other people protesting this behavior and you can be jailed. 

In case you haven't noticed, a huge fraction of the arrests for "offensive" speech have been aimed at people critical of the migrants and children of migrants who are making Britain unrecognizable and often unsafe. People who get attacked on the street can get in trouble for pointing out that it was a migrant who did the crime. 

Elon Musk is using his platform--and, more importantly, his credibility--to highlight the insanity and injustice of it all. He wouldn't have ignited a firestorm if there weren't so much dry kindling ready to burn.

You may wonder why Musk is getting involved in Great Britain (and Germany), but I am not. The American cultural crisis he is fighting against is really a crisis of the West, and while saving America is by far the most important task in front of us, it isn't the only one. America would be stronger if we didn't stand alone, and the Western project is worth saving.  

I often write about the decline of the Anglosphere. What happens in Canada, Australia, Great Britain, and New Zealand matters. What happens in Germany, France, Italy, and the EU also matters. Our fates are tied together, at least to some extent. 

Musk is right to get involved, and his involvement is moving hearts and minds. He may not be right in every detail--I can't say whether I agree that Nigel Farage should be replaced as leader of Reform UK, which Musk has suggested--but his efforts to shift the Overton Window in the UK is noble and necessary.

It's long past time to push back against the inane motto "diversity is our strength" and the ideology that is behind it. It's not true. 

Western culture is our strength. We need to stand up and save it.
