The billionaire X owner suggested Ms Phillips “deserves to be in prison” for denying requests for the Home Office to lead a public inquiry into child sexual exploitation in Oldham.
Mr Musk also attacked Sir Keir Starmer, saying the Prime Minister failed to bring “rape gangs” to justice when he was director of public prosecutions.

“She has worked with whistleblowers and campaigned tirelessly for justice for those badly let down by endemic institutional failure.”
Ms Cooper said the Birmingham Yardley MP would keep working on implementing the recommendations of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sex Abuse, which published its final report in 2022.
Last year, Ms Phillips described X, formerly Twitter, as a “place of misery” and said she planned to use the site less.
The Tesla boss described the Prime Minister as “two-tier Keir”, claiming there was “no justice for severe, violent crimes but prison for social media posts” in the UK.
Senior Tories including Opposition leader Kemi Badenoch have since sought to put pressure on the Government over grooming gangs.
Mrs Badenoch repeated her call for an inquiry in the Mail on Sunday, saying “some action was taken under the previous Tory government, but not enough”.
“Only then can we have any hope of preventing this scale of abuse from happening again.
Reform UK said on Saturday it would launch a national inquiry into grooming gangs if elected.
Party leader Nigel Farage said a “full, open, national inquiry” was needed, so that everyone in the country “knows the truth” and understands that “mass open-door immigration without assimilation is a complete cultural disaster for our country”.

“Bring in criminal accountability for all our senior police and public officials who have turned a blind eye.”
“We all know what’s going on but I don’t trust a single one of those who to date have been entrusted with keeping our children safe and prosecuting serial rapists. They’ve failed. Repeatedly. Knowingly. Criminally.”
She told The Guardian: “What is (Musk’s) motivation for interfering? It seems very political.
The Independent Inquiry into Child Sex Abuse described the sexual abuse of children as an “epidemic that leaves tens of thousands of victims in its poisonous wake”.
The Labour Party and Number 10 have been approached for comment.
