What you need to know:

  • Elon Musk, owner of X, has suddenly taken interest in historical UK child abuse cases, using them to attack politicians and promote far-right narratives.
  • His selective outrage focuses only on cases involving British Asian men while ignoring other forms of abuse, revealing a pattern of weaponising women's trauma for political gain.
  • Despite positioning himself as a protector of women, Musk's track record shows a history of enabling misogyny and undermining women's safety both online and in workplaces.
