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.

    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!
