Having spent some time drawing out the agenda within the Tech Bros as it pertains to that pesky ¹American liberty thing. We now return to our regularly scheduled anti-globalist programming where the Tech Bro alignment with MAGA is swimmingly synergistic.
Elon Musk is poking and prodding against the EU control apparatus, bringing an alternative perspective to our brothers behind enemy lines. In his role as the snarky Toyko Rose of the modern social media interface, free speaking Americans -together with our comrades in Russia- can well enjoy Musk’s EU provocations.
The EU powerhouses of Germany, the U.K and France, are going bananas because Elon Musk is closely connected to President Donald Trump while simultaneously provoking them over their control of electoral outcomes. Musk providing alternative, dare we say nationalist voices, is somewhat antithetical to the long-developed control system of the Brussels collective.
EUROPE – Elon Musk’s decision to host German far-right leader Alice Weidel in a livestream on X is sparking fury from European Union leaders and lawmakers, who on Monday urged Brussels to deploy its full legal might to rein in the billionaire tech magnate.
In response, the European Commission said the SpaceX founder and senior member of the incoming Trump administration could indeed land in legal hot water under the terms of the EU’s new digital rulebook, depending on the extent to which the Thursday livestream is deemed to boost Weidel unfairly over rivals ahead of Germany’s Feb. 23 election.
Across Europe, teaming up with Weidel is seen as an inflammatory step as members of her populist and anti-immigration Alternative for Germany (AfD) party have for years been accused of whitewashing and trivializing Nazi crimes. The AfD is currently polling second.
French President Emmanuel Macron was quick to accuse Musk of having gone too far in his vocal support for the AfD. “Ten years ago, who could have imagined it if we had been told that the owner of one of the largest social networks in the world would support a new international reactionary movement and intervene directly in elections, including in Germany,” he said in a speech at the Elysée Palace.
The pressure is now on the European Commission to respond, given that it is in charge of enforcing Europe’s Digital Services Act, which polices social media platforms including X, and threatens eye-watering fines of up to 6 percent of global turnover, or even temporary blocks, in case of a breach.
[…] Pursuing legal action against a major tech tycoon would be tricky enough, but the EU’s headaches are exacerbated by the fact that in 13 days’ time, Musk will become part of the United States administration as head of the Department of Government Efficiency.
“Musk must be seen as representing the U.S. president when he bets against the leadership of key European nations, allies until now,” former member of the European Parliament and Stanford University fellow Marietje Schaake wrote in an email.
Criticizing the groomers in Britain will upset the left too.
Elon continues to confound the intellectual box Sundance tries to put him in.
Alas, the British hierarchy has so neutered its serf population, through decades of starvation (see Dickens,)
slum living, flogging, arms banning, conscription and caste system brow-beating, that the typical Brit has no
voice, vote or power.
One only has to watch the Netflix series The Crown to see that perversion and moral depravity has filtered from the top down.
The EU will deploy a team of lawyers?
Has the EU declared universal jurisdiction over the space-time continuum?
Awwww! EUtopia don’t like folks outing them.
“when he bets against the leadership of key European nations, allies until now,”
These nations are now effectively dictatorships, so why NOT bet against them?
In their minds, yes.
Rapists, not “groomers.” The Brit tolerance for these criminals, and desire to cover for them, is mind blowing.
To liberals, being able to bully all about them is of utmost importance. Particularly annoying is one of a group SUPPOSED to be under control going off script. To Democrats during pre- and post Civil war years this as an uppity N!@#$!$.
Democrats formed and used the KKKlan to deal with such — they hung them.
EUtards will try to do the same here. Evil does not change.
TS. Musk is a private citizen expressing his opinions. There is not one nation on the planet that has not bashed the United States since the dawn of our Republic. France and Britain would be speaking German if not for the United States.
