Elon Musk is a global problem | Opinions
From his apparent “Nazi greeting “ In the United States of President Donald Trump, a celebration of his celebration of his labeling of the US Agency for International Development as a “Criminal Organization” that needs to “die” and devastating savings policies that excitedly implements as the head of the newly married “Government Efficiency” Ministry of Government (Doge), “owner Elon Musk undoubtedly became a destructive force in American politics.
But men’s narcissistic political ambitions are not limited by the borders of the United States. After helping Trump and his ultimate right movement of Maga-e assumed control of the United States, he replicated his landmarks in the whole world.
The South African began his “world tour” of the excitement of the extremely right feelings and trying to install radical, musk figures in the positions of power in the United Kingdom.
The Musk spent last year occasionally rising by the British extreme right voices, such as the co -founder of the English Defense League Tommy Robinson and the leader of the Reform Party Nigel Farage. In early January, he once again tweed “Free Tommy Robinson!” and shared a relationship with the controversial documentary film leader UK Final Right called Sited.
In the documentary, allegedly ordered We are extremely right by radio presenter Alex Jones Infowars, Robinson falsely claims that the Syrian refugee school school Jamal Hijaz violently attacked England students and threatened to kill the boy at school.
Robinson made the same claim a few years earlier in 2018 in response to the Viral Video Hijazi, which was beaten at the Yorkshire school. His video on Facebook was viewed by more than a million people. The Hyazian family faced the threats of death as a result.
After that, Robinson-for is known to be funded by right-wing groups in the US-Bio is full of a case for defamation from Hijazi, which he lost. He was ordered to pay Hijazi £ 100,000 ($ 125,260) damage, covers its legal costs in the amount of £ 500,000 ($ 626,300), and he was given a ban that prevented him from repeating his false claims about Syrian school school.
If the documentary was silenced, in which he repeats his false claims about Hijaza, showing him to the public in London’s Trafalgar Square in July and divide it widely on the net, Robinson broke the ban. As a result, he was sentenced to 18 months in prison in October.
Of course, none of this contains Musk white about Robinson.
Instead, he uses Robinson and the case of Hijazi to swallow the wider right right racial tropary that a mass immigration with the non-threat to women and girls in the west is to try to influence domestic policy in the UK.
Musk knows full well that this trop has recently gained a currency in the UK.
Last summer, the UK swallowed violent anti -immigration protests and riots after the Velski man from Rurand’s origin broke out and killed three girls in a dance class. However, the true trigger for violence was not a crime itself, but the misinformation spread the end of the right group and activists, including Robinson, that the suspect was a 17-year-old asylum seeker named “Al-Shakaka”.
The decade of “scandal with his gangs” associated with a wide abuse of white girls in several English cities and cities, such as Rochdale, Rotherham and Oldham, predominantly by British men of Pakistani origin, also provided Mošus and the British End Right with the opportunity to push the tropics about race and immigration.
Since the scandal first became public, local agencies and security forces were accused of trying to conceal him to avoid branding racist and Islamophobic.
A report on the protective measures in Oldham, a city in the center of the scandal, did not exist in the end that there was no cover -up despite the “legitimate concerns” to use the end right “high judgments of mostly Pakistani offenders in all countries”.
True and all its shades, however, do not concern the musk. He decided that “concealment” was serving his agenda and turning the general public against immigrants, and continued to push him.
He recently claimed that the UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, led by the Crown Prosecutor’s Office (CPS) from 2008 to 2013, did not effectively deal with these “Band Bands”. He twitter: “Starmer was a president in Britain of rape when he was 6 years old Crown Caworion chief. Starmer has to go and he has to deal with accusations for his sympathy in the worst mass crime in Britain’s history. “He invited The Parliamentary Party of the State for Protection and Violence against Women and Girls Jess Phillips “Apologet for Rape of Genocide”. Musk also published a number of call posts King Charles III to dissolve Parliament in the UK and order new elections.
Musk -Lovi tweets and open support to figures like Robinson may not launch a current change in the UK, but it obviously sets a stage to climb the end right in the country – political and economically.
Musk also visited Germany as part of his world tour of the extremely right agitation and support.
The leader of the Technology Mogul and Dogea threw their weight behind the extremely right alternative to the German (AFD) party.
IN commission Posted in the conservative newspaper Welt Am Sonntag at the end of December, Musk supported the end right party, calling the AfD “last spark of hope” for Germany. He suggested that the party dedication to restricting immigration allowed the Germans to be safe and protect German culture. He wrote: “The nation must preserve its fundamental values and cultural heritage in order to remain strong and united.”
In early January, Musk hosted a Live conversation With the AFD leader Alice Weidel on X. He warned “Only AFD can save Germany” from what he said was an increase in crime caused by migration and “Alear Liberal Education system”, including “sex studies”, which allegedly bothers the country land. For her part during the interview, Weidel claimed that Adolf Hitler was not a conservative or a libertarian, but “was that communist, socialist guy.” She also thanked the male for the main presentation, saying, “Elon, for me it is a whole new situation that I can simply have a normal conversation, and I am not interrupted or negatively framed.”
At the end of January Musk continued address AFD rally in Halle, Germany, via Videlink. In an interview with thousands of those present, he once again stated that the end right is the “best hope for the future of Germany”. He added that the German people were “an ancient nation that goes back to thousands of years”, and the supporters of the AFD had to “fight, fight, fight” for the future of the country. In a seemingly reference to the AfD Neo -Nazist connectionsAlso musk said Germany must “go further”, feeling guilty of the Nazi crimes of the past, and the Germans must be “proud of German culture, German values”.
Publicly supporting the party and providing his platform to promote his extremist agenda without a challenge, Musk will probably try to help AFD to secure a win in Trump’s style in the German election on February 2nd.
Trump is working to raise the right in several other countries.
He, for example, hit a a a close relationship With the right -wing Prime Minister of Italy, Giorgia Meloni. They share the love of the mutual of the Lord of the Rings and Ksenophobia. Meloni called “even more beautiful on the inside than she is on the outside.” Meloni called Musk a “genius” that was unjustly portrayed as a “monster.” It would not be that Musk would not have had a hand in facilitating the growing meloni connection with Trump.
Behind Europe, Musk was public about his admiration for Argentine President Javier Milei. Milei’s “motor saw savings” were inspiration for dogs. Milei was also present on Trump’s inauguration.
In September, Musk met with “Cool Dictator” El Salvadora Nayib Bukele, who published global news for his very controversial “Mano Dura” or “Iron Fist”, politics against gang’s violence and his mega concerts. Now Trump’s administration is alleged considering Includes their criminals “including those of US citizenship and legal residents” in Bukele’s conclusions. There are bucheles said ready to help “outsourcing part [the US] The prison system “are housing convicted criminals in their mega-prisons in” compensation exchange “. He added: “The fee would be relatively low for the US, but for us significant, which would be a sustainable for our entire prison system.”
In the meantime, the Musk end right-handed influence took his life and began to have an influence even in countries he had not yet visited or said anything about it.
He, for example, said very little if nothing about Polish politics. But recently poll He shows that close to 45 percent of the columns would vote for a candidate who approved a billionaire.
These are, of course, early days in Musk’s attempt to have a global extremely right-wing revolution. Some of his moves may act, and others may not have a level of political influence he hopes. However, it is still worrying that Musk managed to get to happen in terms of mixing in the internal policy of several countries. It can only be hoped that there will be a harmonized return to Musk’s global moves soon.
