Summary
Elon Musk’s relationship with the UK has soured as he increasingly criticizes the country, calling it a “tyrannical police state” and amplifying far-right rhetoric on his platform, X.
His actions, including spreading misinformation during the Southport riots and attacking the Online Safety Act, align with his libertarian, anti-“woke” views.
Musk’s interest in UK politics may stem from personal beliefs and potential business concerns, as the Act imposes substantial fines on platforms hosting illegal content.
Reports also suggest Musk may fund Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party to further his influence.
Don’t worry he already started pushing and donating to the AfD in Germany. Maybe we’ll join the UK with a Dexit from the EU sooner than later if these bozos get in power
That’s a scary thought.
It’s also explicitly what they lay out as their plain in their parties programme
Oh holy crap, really? Is Elon’s ‘Grand Master Plan’ to cause complete economic collapse so he and the 1%'s can reign supreme… Or some shit?
They want to leave the euro and go back to the deutsche Mark. They also want to dismantle the EU and instead build a “Europe of Motherlands” where the Nations have more control again.
I’m not sure what musk sees as the benefit here. Maybe it really is the “chaos is a ladder” kind of thinking. But maybe it’s just also the “anti-woke” stance he finds appealing without him having any other knowledge of the German parties system
