Elon Musk has agreed to pay legal fees racked up by jailed British far-right agitator Tommy Robinson, Robinson’s representatives have claimed.

Elon Musk to fund UK far-right ringleader Tommy Robinson’s legal fight, supporters claim

Robinson’s representatives post ‘heartfelt gratitude’ to the X owner on Telegram.

Now, is Musk doing this as a private citizen or as a representative of the United States Government? Is there even a difference at this point?

Weird thing to do if you didn't want people to think you liked Nazis...

I wonder if all the people saying "we must be careful about labelling Musk as a Nazi" remain so circumspect when anything remotely progressive is labelled as communism by the right. I feel like I already know the answer to that though.

Not going to make any apologies for this: Anyone questioning whether the billionaire who supports the German Neo-Nazi party, says Jews are conspiring against white people, and throws Hitler salutes on stage is really a Nazi knows exactly what they're doing. And I know what they're doing too, but Jean-Paul Sartre put it better than I could.

Sounds like the modus operandi of former NSC tosser, das reich. Somehow tolerated for years on NSC, just as Musk is tolerated in the wider world.

The apologist who is now crying about being called a Nazi sympathiser on NSC can do what that Danis MEP suggests Trump can do.

Stop

These are all just coincidences that he simply couldn't avoid.

It's like the new rival sport he has recently set up to compete against F1. It's amazing but quite niche. He has decided that the drivers should be an ex Man United and Wales winger known for his hairy chest, a Canadian actor who recently starred in Barbie and the Deadpool actor who owns Wrexham.







How was he to know that A Ryan Race was going to cause controversy?

And that’s how most Western leaders probably feel; “fcuk ’im”

At least Bolsonaro (charged with a coup against one of the World’s largest democracies) AKA ‘Trump of the Tropics’ will be pleased - if only he’d been allowed to leave Brazil and accept Trump’s invitation to the Inauguration - heh it is what it is with indicted presidents. I’m sure Netanyahu ( possible perpetrator of war crimes and corruption charges facing him) and Putin ( perpetrator of war crimes) will be welcomed by the sycophantic Trump to the White House for “Peace” talks soon - so he’ll have some of his foreign bros to prop him up on the World stage.

- interesting President XI ( guilty of decades of human rights violations) wasn’t keen to be the supporting cast though - maybe the threat of a trade war looms too large?

He, Trump, Trump Jnr and all the rest of them will never apologise, take responsibility or admit to making a mistake about anything.

They literally don't give a shite what people think or about what they do or the implications of it all. They could not care less about the optics or the ensuing chat/arguments about it.

How/why people lap it all up is beyond me, but there we go...

Driven by Trump, this is the new way of the political right. Never apologise. Never admit a mistake. Tell lies as often and in as many directions as possible in order to make it normalised. Take opposite sides on key issues, even within the same sentence, in order to create soundbites that the billions of social-media infected genders of the human race will pick and choose to hear to support their views.

Depressing times

I see the biggest winner of all this is going to be corporate America, but the consumer is going to get seriously f**ked over

Squirming in their seats - white privilege in all its glory

Should probably add this reasonable take on Elon‘s fashy ‘salute’ too - I’ll go with far right appeasing ‘idiot’ for now

Also, always leave yourself enough wiggle room for some "plausible deniability" - Musk's Salute, Trump's Proud Boys dog whistle, etc etc.

Never QUITE say it, but very clearly infer it, for the intended audience.

"oh no, I couldn't possibly have meant THAT, could I......?"

Deporting American citizens because they say that the President should be merciful towards others, or disagree with the President.

Obviously it won't happen - but it's quite something that a politican is comfortable in even encouraging this sort of dictatorship-type actions, with no fear of repercussions towards him. If it happened in another country, the US would be critical of them.

Nuts.

Trump mistakes Spain for a member of the BRICS bloc and repeats the threat of massive tariffs

U.S. president Donald Trump has apparently confused Spain for a member of the BRICS bloc of developing economies, causing some head-scratching and jitters over possible tariffs in Madrid.
