O/T:- ⚠️Impressed with the leadership [The UK Party Politics Thread]

[Med Pie]

Interesting times to say the least. Musk has a lot of power for an unelected individual.

It's alarming the way he's trying to interfere with public opinion from afar. Some of his tweets have been completely reckless, like calling for Starmer to be arrested - and now, rather bizarrely, not only trying to increase exposure for Reform but undermining their leadership.

On the other hand, he's bringing to light one of the biggest scandals and attempted coverups in our nation's history - and the role the establishment and current leadership played in that.

It's all very on-brand though. He seems inherently childish and impulsive. He's morphed from perhaps the world's greatest entrepreneur to a power-hungry propagandist. Maybe that was the plan all along.

Worth also noting that what Musk is now doing has been going on since forever. The only difference now is that the "powers that be" aren't the only ones able to shape the narrative on a grand scale.

What difference is there between Musk, brandishing his ideology and the left wing propaganda which is peddled to our kids, almost as soon as they enter education?

None really, apart from the delivery. See my last paragraph.

The difference is that Musk is apparently trying to influence UK politics through his vast wealth. Whether his vast wealth supports far right or far left that has to be wrong.

I don't see much difference, what Musk does or doesn't do, will happen over a parliamentary lifetime which is about the same length of time as a young person spends, exposed to left wing ideologies through sixth form and Uni but they, are getting it daily for hours, not the occasional tweet so it's potentially worse.
