Summary

Elon Musk has intensified his involvement in European politics, supporting far-right parties like the UK’s Reform UK and Germany’s AfD.

Musk called for the release of British far-right figure Tommy Robinson and criticized UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, while backing Nigel Farage’s Reform UK.

In Germany, Musk endorsed the AfD as the country’s “last hope,” drawing accusations of election meddling.

His stances have drawn praise from right-wing leaders but criticism from European officials.

Musk’s support may stem from personal ideology and potential benefits for Tesla amidst regulatory debates in Europe.

    That man is so evil he does not deserve the air he breathes. Yet he is the richest man in the world, so amazingly filthy rich, he can waste $40 billion, and it doesn’t make much difference!

      Friendly reminder, because I’m just this petty when it comes to assholes like Musk.

      He’s not the richest man in the world. He’s the richest man in the world dumb enough to talk about it.

        And there are plenty of people who’s wealth really can’t be adequately calculated. How rich is the House of Saud? Do you count the entire GDP of Saudi Arabia since they basically control it as absolute monarchs? Because that’s over $1 trillion.

          and they intentionally obfuscate things and hide their wealth. because unlike KetamineMush, they know that the when the pitchforks and torches come out, he’ll distract us from them.

            Well Musk understands that you only “win” the “game” by being the richest, and if no one knows you’re the richest, it doesn’t count!

    Ok folks realistically, how do democracies defend themselves against a billionaire Nazi with an army of bro-troll followers who has the US president in his pocket and is actively meddling with other countries affairs? Because this is starting to become Bond villain shit. Is the only answer an agent 007 with a special license?

      this is going to sound radical, because it is. And I’m not implying anything nefarious. but…

      the only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.

      He needs to be killed by any means necessary. He is the single greatest threat to humanity. Whoever gets him will be a hero to humans everywhere. This shouldn’t be a controversial thing to say.

        Wouldn’t that leave some other rich asshole to buy up his companies and take his place? I think the only thing that’s gonna help is a revolution. The way things are going it seems inevitable.

          Yes we need a revolution, and killing Elon and other billionaires and rich assholes will need to be a part of that.

          We’ve tried peaceful change but the rich buy up elections and make protest illegal, so they made violent revolution the only option left.

    He has gone full Nazi and is letting the world know. There’s something wrong with this asshole, but his influence and money is real and dangerous.

    Tommy Robinson is a literal fucking thug. Musk wouldn’t last 5 fucking minutes in a Milwall footy brawl

      I genuinely would like to know…

      Does he actually believe in these ideologies, or do they just happen to align with his interests presently?

      I suspect it’s the latter.

        It’s the latter. He was ostensibly a liberal for years. Now that it benefits him, he’s far right.

          …or is he just pandering/manipulating certain demography, Mr Cheetos and his cabinet of freaks.

          His not political, just a psycho.

            Why did you say “or” and then not present a new option?

              Sorry, I inserted the subtext that it’s for financial gain. My “or” was that he cares more about ego trip and less about financial gain.

          That’s what I thought.

          The core tenets of far right in the UK and Germany just wouldn’t seem that relevant to a wealthy person. It’s not like he’s going to interact with migrants in any way.

          What is it about the right that benefits him though? Small government and reduced regulation?

            Those would be the biggest benefits to him, in my eyes.

    I think Elon might be the person in life I hate the absolute most.

    I hope he gets aggressive cancer. Yeah. That’s how much I hate him.

    We don’t need musks shit over here, but I am really worried about next elections. Labour is unsurprisingly not doing much, but if we slide back into racist politics, that be much, much worse…

    Why is it that every man with shit loads of money derails sooner or later? Do they need to be told “no” more often?

    Musk = Dumbass

    Mark my words, watch Musk be sworn in as president in 2029. Watch.

    Can’t wait for him to piss off to Mars and leave us all alone. He can then form the hateful, Nazi hell he’s trying to force the rest of us to live in.
