Elon Musk said his grandmother, Cora Amelia Robinson, would have become a grooming gang victim if she would have been alive in modern-day England in a social media post.

Elon Musk has been tweeting about the UK grooming gang scandal where British-Pakistani Muslim men raped and sexually abused thousands of vulnerable girls over a period of several years in Rotherham, Oldham and Rochdale.

Elon Musk said his grandmother was “one of the poor working-class girls" and “cleaned houses" to buy food.

“My British grandmother, Cora Amelia Robinson, was an important part of my childhood. She was very strict, but also kind and I could always count on her. She grew up very poor in England during the Great Depression, only to be bombed in World War Two. To earn money for food, she cleaned houses, leaving me with a lasting respect for those who do so," he said in an X post.

“My Nana was one of the poor working-class girls with no one to protect her who might have been abducted in present day Britain," Musk said, drawing similarity to the background of the girls who were subjected to sexual abuse at the hands of British-Pakistani Muslim men.

Cora Amelia Robinson, Elon Musk’s paternal grandmother, was born in Liverpool in August 1923 but later moved to South Africa.

In 1944, she married Walter Musk, who was assigned to British intelligence during the final years of World War II. The couple welcomed their son Errol, Elon Musk’s father, in 1946.
