Summary
Elon Musk labeled Britain a “tyrannical police state” on X, criticized Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s leadership, and questioned the imprisonment of far-right activist Tommy Robinson.
Musk’s comments coincide with his role as a key adviser to Trump, raising concerns in the U.K. about its relationship with the incoming administration.
Musk also criticized Starmer’s policies, including increased farm inheritance taxes, and boosted far-right content on X.
This follows similar clashes with other U.S. allies, including Germany and Australia, over their domestic policies.
The only way Europe gets screwed, assuming it finds itself standing alone geopolitically (and that’s assuming the US wouldn’t jump in, even if relations had cooled, it’s hard to imagine America missing a chance to fight) is if Europe continues the half hearted laissez faire neoliberal shit it’s got going on now. The same with the USA, if Trump capitulates global hegemony because Putin, and by proxy, Xi, command him too.
In the face of hostilities both Europe and America can be self sufficient, after some initial wartime retooling.
Let’s assume they’re unable to sell their debt abroad this next war time, then there would be considerate warbond fundraising. You know what becomes unimportant then? Profits. The only way thru, unoccupied, is by eating the rich. The longer either nation hesitates, we can assume equates to more damage internally, which increases the likelihood of eating the rich postwar, to fund rebuilding, like Japan did after The Boog, Great War, pt. Deux.
So once again, the wealthy class funding these social divisions are ultimately going to be their own undoing.
And good. Fuck a billionaire. Fuck a tens of millionaire. Bring out the new, upgraded laser-otine, it cauterizes as it works, so there’s no mess. We’s in the future, baby.
