Elon Musk wants to rule the world. In a rather ‘alt-right’ way. So aligning himself with Trump is a logical step, he’s the new Steve Bannon. Because the old one ended up in jail. And Trump has to have a ‘populist’ person on his shoulder. How long these two super-egos can remain friendly is a rather big question. So much arrogance in any one room has to cause a burst at some point.

Then Elon starts taking swipes at the government over here. And a good thing that is too. He may be ‘forrin’ but he’s allowed to say what he wants. And he controls Twitter and is obsessed with ‘free speech’, particularly his own, so who’s going to stop him? Its not ‘overseas interference’ until he parts with some cash.

So he attacked the government over the Rotherham grooming gangs, accusing Jess Phillips of ‘rape’; bit strong, but we got the point. Then he vented about Starmer’s releasing convicted paedophiles from prison to make room for ‘protesters’ who were just enjoying their ‘freedom of speech’. Even though it looked like they were militant arsonists forming vigilante hit squads against immigrants.

Musk is so clever that he fails to see the wonderful irony in his general ‘anti-immigrant’ theme, that he is not an American, but a South African immigrant to their shores.

So obviously, Nigel Farage has great appeal to Elon, they are cut from the same cloth. I’m not saying its the cloth they used for SS uniforms, just sayin’ its the same. And the anti-immigrant/purity of nation ‘thing’ runs strong in both men.

What Musk doesn’t quite get is that ‘alt-right’ must never venture into ‘far right’ territory. You can talk Brexit, but not whilst wearing a KKK suit.

And thus: the divorce. Elon & Nige had barely consummated their marriage when its over. Last week it was all talk about 17 million quid coming to the Reform party so Nige could be the next PM, and now Musk is calling for a new leader of the Reforms as he’s declared Nigel unworthy. Why? Because Elon wants Tommy Robinson to become part of Reform. Once he comes out of prison. And he is ‘far right’ in anyone’s book. Ok, he has a strong ‘pro-Israel’ stance, but only because he hates Muslims more than he does Jews. At the moment.

But Farage, who has spent the last 10 years distancing himself from The British Nationalists and the Britain Firstists and the National Nasty-ists cannot hook up with a virtual neo-nazi or anyone even tainted as such.

What Musk also doesn’t get is that the Reform party is the Farage party. No-one voted for them before he joined and no-one will if he’s not there. Its not a matter of ‘replacing him’ because he is so much greater than the party. Because even those who really don’t like much of what Farage says, like me, will always listen to him because of his openness and honesty and his ability to ‘get’ the common man. Like me. More than any other politician.

So once again, my advice to Elon Musk remains as always: just fuck off.

Happy Monday
