In the media’s most recent anti-Elon hit piece, Wired magazine takes issue with Musk’s flurry of posts calling attention to child rape gangs in the UK. It’s a weird hill for a publication that pretends to champion women’s rights to die on. But when it comes to the legacy media’s hatred for Musk, there are clearly no bounds.
The child rape gang scandal has been part of British public consciousness since journalists, most notably Andrew Norfolk at The Times, began covering it in the mid-2000s. The details of these stories — 12-year-old girls gang raped, murdered, and effectively sold into sex slavery in their own towns and under the nose of the authorities who spent the past decades “raising awareness” about human trafficking in third-world countries — defy belief.
Much of this went on under Tony Blair’s Labour government, which stood from 1997 to 2007. This at least partly explains why the British media, which is dominated by the strongly leftwing BBC, ignored so much of the story for so long. But the issue recently burst into flames after GB News ran reporting that the new Labour government is refusing to commission a national inquiry into how thousands of British children were milled into an organized, systemized and commercialized machine of mass rape over the course of decades.
