Fresh from pouring his money and energies into helping Donald Trump win reelection, Elon Musk has trained his sights on Europe.

Fresh from pouring his money and energies into helping Donald Trump win reelection, Elon Musk has trained his sights on Europe, setting off alarm bells among politicians across the continent.

The Tesla and SpaceX chief executive has endorsed the far-right Alternative for Germany, demanded the release of jailed U.K. anti-Islam extremist Tommy Robinson and called British Prime Minister Keir Starmer an evil tyrant who should be in prison.

    Elon Musk is beyond insane, he is batshit crazy.
    According to Musk, Keir Starmer should be in prison but this idiot who repeatedly breaks laws should not?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Robinson

    Robinson served four prison terms between 2005 and 2019. In 2013, he illegally entered the United States using a friend’s passport. In 2018, he violated a court order by publishing a Facebook Live video of defendants entering court. Prior to sentencing, he appeared on the American far-right website InfoWars to appeal for political asylum in the US. In 2021, he was subjected to a five-year stalking prevention order for harassing journalist Lizzie Dearden and her partner. In 2021, he was found to have libelled a 15-year-old refugee at a school in Huddersfield and was ordered to pay £100,000 plus legal costs. After breaching an injunction about repeating the libel, Robinson was sentenced to 18 months in prison. In June 2022 Robinson admitted gambling away £100,000 before declaring bankruptcy.

    Why the fuck would anyone of their right mind choose to support such trash?

    The only conclusion is that Elon Musk is not of his right mind, and should probably be committed to protect both himself and others from his insanity.

    Edit for clarity:

        Because he didn’t prosecute child groomers.

        Despite being the first prosecutor to do just that.

        But I guess he was too late to do it, even though Elon didn’t mention it anywhere near when it actually happened.

        Hindsight is sometimes 20/20, but in this case I think Elon’s hindsight is 14/88.
