Prime Minister Elon

Am I the only person who finds the current spat between Elon Musk and Kier Starmer really quite disturbing.
Firstly, Elon Musk is not a UK citizen and I don't understand why our government are having to make press releases and defend themselves against essentially a private American citizen.
Secondly, I find the fact they have chosen the rape scandals that happened several years ago and which the previous Tory government did pretty much nothing about as the weapon to beat Labour a bit bizarre. They seem less interested in the victims and I wonder if the true reason for the anger is because it centres on Asian men attacking white girls. I do wonder had the races been reversed if this would be a complete non-issue.
Thoughts?

I agree it's a bit off putting, One of the clearest examples that the super rich really can do what they want, and that can include just maliciously ****ing things up for others knowing people can't really stop them. We'll even simp and help them. The whole narrative that our government and others is illegitimate and should be upended with Jan 6th style events is troubling, party due to the impressionable people who will whoops and cheer along, not even thinking about what it means for their own lives.

Personally, with all the greenland, canada, mexico (trump) stuff and germany and uk (musk), it seems a bit more than just musk doing what he wants. Seems a bit more organised.

I see no reason it can't be both, I doubt he is literally doing it for a quick giggle but at the same time he's certainly being pretty childish with his influence.

I’m just bemused that a man with his purported work ethic and several kids manages to find the time to write angry tweets with a greater frequency than an unemployed vaccine conspiracy theorist.

Yes, the TSR thugs are always at my door trying to stop me discouraging people from taking foundation years and grad entry med.
I WILL NOT BE SILENCED

Thinking about it, other than buying into emerging industries and the whole "move fast, break stuff" schtick, I've never heard anyone comment positively about his work ethic. He's just vaguely involved in a lot of stuff.

He boasted about working 80-100 hours a week and how that supposedly puts him ahead of a 40hrs work week. I had a relatively neutral impression of him until about the Tham Luang cave rescue incident. He proposed a simple but impractical solution to a very complex problem which to me shows his eagerness to be involved but also a lack of understanding of the problem's intricacies.
