This is what explains Musk’s recent obsession with backing the far right in Europe and going on about making Europe great again. This and the racism. Everything else is noise.

Welcome to the party pal! It beggars belief he is saying this now - given what he and his wing of the Democrats have done to funnel wealth & power to said oligarchs and the military-industrial complex. Sleepy Joe indeed.

To cut a long story short, the richest man in the world has recognised that representative democracies are, at this point, an impediment to his further accrual of wealth and power, and so is acting directly against those democracies. His peer group is following suit.

Israel has destroyed the last remaining hospital in northern Gaza. We have witnessed the total decimation of Palestinian healthcare, met with silence from political leaders who refuse to acknowledge the horrors they have enabled. This is the dehumanising reality of genocide.

Over in the other place, the billionaire owner is threatening to fund ‘moderate’ (rightwing) candidates in heavily Democratic districts too. This is what oligarchy looks like. It’s the biggest threat to democracy today. Not ‘cancel culture.’ Not trans kids. Not college protesters. Oligarchy.

The government’s ongoing refusal to engage with reality in the criminal justice system, while trotting out the same tabloid-pleasing headlines as its predecessors, is having catastrophic effects, day after day. The guilty acquitted, the innocent convicted, victims and defendants failed.

People say this has a lot to do with narcissism and associated manias, and that might be true. But it overlooks one crucial thing: Musk has recently become aware of the politics most appropriate to his class interests, and he's now pursuing them with enthusiasm.

If you bring central London to a halt to campaign against catastrophic climate change you're treated as a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up. But if you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds
