Elon Musk's tweets have turned him into a hero for certain sections of the right.

The US tech entrepreneur’s discovery of Britain 's grooming gangs scandal has turned Musk into a supercharged hero.

Journalists and campaigners had turned the spotlight on “grooming gangs” better described as rape gangs and sex traffickers.

In the desire to present group-based CSE as a kind of race war, non-white victims of grooming gangs get ignored.

In 2013 , the Muslim Women’s Network UK published Unheard Voices , a report that showed how Muslim girls were trapped, tortured and raped by men from their own communities in a fashion that “mirrors the abuse” faced by white girls in Rotherham .
