Summary

UK right-wing politicians, including allies of Nigel Farage, have privately urged Donald Trump’s team to avoid endorsing far-right activist Tommy Robinson, following Elon Musk’s calls for Robinson’s release from prison.

Musk, a close Trump adviser, has faced backlash for supporting Robinson, who is jailed for contempt of court and has a history of criminal convictions.

Farage and other mainstream UK conservatives have distanced themselves from Robinson, warning that such endorsements could harm their political credibility.

Musk’s controversial posts continue to stir tensions within UK and US political circles.

    I think at this point it must be argued that Musk is an inside agent seeking to accelerate the downfall of capitalism by making it clear how dangerous it is to concentrate wealth to this degree.

    Well, that, or he is planning on taking USA full Russia. Extremism and misinformation from the top down.

    Or, like drugs or something?

      He just doesn’t seem smart enough to engineer the first two options unless someone else is doing all the thinking for him (which seems entirely possible).
