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.
It will most probably not limit itself with the UK.
The UK is just ripe for the plucking, that country has shown the ability to shoot themselves in the nuts and has proven to be able to elect nutjobs and/or a nutjob party. See Truss, Johnson, Sunak, etc.
Any country that shows social instability, a reasonably strong fascist movement and uproar against people from the left through MAGA terminology will be in his visor as a target. He will then endorse these via his platform and his fortune.
He is willing to see the world burn for personal gain. These gains will come through his companies located all over the world, hence his meddling with these countries.
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
