Elon Musk sparked controversy after reposting an image of a Scottish teenager who pulled a weapon on a migrant, with a sharp rebuke aimed at Britain’s leadership.
Musk was responding to U.S. conservative commentator Rogan O’Handley, who claimed Britain is facing a record wave of migrant-related sexual assaults while police “arrest the girls who tried not to be raped” instead of protecting them.
Musk accused British authorities of betrayal, writing: “Start by condemning the collaborators in positions of authority who aided the rape epidemic of their own people and looked the other way. Prosecute them criminally and civilly.”
The teenager has since become a patriotic symbol across the UK, with hundreds of memes circulating online in support of her.
