Summary
A majority of Britons believe Elon Musk negatively impacts UK politics, according to an Opinium poll.
Musk has used his platform X to criticize Keir Starmer and Labour’s stance on grooming gang inquiries, calling Starmer “deeply complicit” and accusing Jess Phillips of being a “rape genocide apologist.”
53% of voters believe Musk’s involvement in British politics is negative, while 47% find his comments about grooming gangs unhelpful. Only 12% see his involvement positively.
Reform UK supporters oppose his criticism of Nigel Farage, and public opinion on another national grooming inquiry remains divided.
I wish I was as confident as you. Here in the US his and Trumps shenanigans actually got them the win because people buy the lies and believe the world is falling down and the right wing is the only way to fix things… and those people are the motivated ones that go vote.
