Elon Musk is just the latest billionaire to exert tremendous influence over U.S. politics. When he says he supports Neo-Nazis, take him at his word.

    Elon already bought America, but he also tries to buy Europe by supporting pro-Putin political parties. The only problem is that he can’t finance them directly, but no doubt there will be a way around that.

    The shitheel isn’t satisfied with just the USA either. He is in the process of buying the pseudoparty Reform ltd. in the UK and is supporting AfD in Germany. I’m sure there are examples in other countries.

      Correct, Italy as well. That’s what we know for a fact. I see no reason why Elon would not support other similar parties, like the Dutch PVV. I suspect there are several aspects to it. Not only limiting worker protections and such, but also Elon’s link with Putin.

    The Most Powerful Man in America…

    …article about Musk.

    The article of course will convince no one since there are no depths too far for Republicans, and decent people already knew he was a scumbag. However, headlines of articles lately seem increasingly written with tweaking Trump’s nose and sowing internal discord at Trump’s camp in mind, and I’m so here for it.

      Trump is a classic scumbag, but I consider him less dangerous then Elon. So I hope Trump’s ego will be triggered enough to dump Elon. If that will be enough to limit Elon I am not sure though.
