In promoting populism, the world’s richest man polled the public on whether or not the United States should aid to “liberate” one European nation from “their tyrannical government.”
President-elect Donald Trump’s Election Day victory wasn’t the only sign that the globalist agenda faced a reckoning and Elon Musk wasn’t being shy about opining on the path forward for America’s allies. Having previously sounded off with favor for Germany’s AfD party, the SpaceX CEO turned his attention to Britain Tuesday in the wake of new outrage against Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
“America should liberate the people of Britain from their tyrannical government,” proposed Musk in a poll that brought in nearly 2 million votes with 58% agreeing and 42% opposing the idea amid 45 million views.

The notion had been presented as the billionaire had called out Starmer’s focus on prosecuting social media activity that had seen citizens incarcerated for memes while alleging the former head of Crown Prosecution had “complicity in the worst mass crime in the history of Britain” regarding “grooming gangs” who’d targeted British girls for sexual exploitation.
As with disputes with government officials in Brazil and Australia, Musk had been on record challenging the free speech restrictions being imposed on the people in the United Kingdom and on Tuesday he added a personal connection to failures in upholding law and order.
“My British grandmother, Cora Amelia Robinson, was an important part of my childhood. She was very strict, but also kind and I could always count on her. She grew up very poor in England during the Great Depression only to be bombed in WW2,” he wrote. “To earn money for food, she cleaned houses, leaving me with a lasting respect for those who do so. My Nana was one of the poor working-class with no one to protect her who might have been abducted in present day Britain.”

Where the issues intersected, Musk had been vocal in demanding the release of Tommy Robinson who’d been held for contempt of court charges and placed in solitary confinement after previously fleeing the country after his journalistic efforts regarding alleged crimes perpetrated on young girls by foreign nationals.
The world’s richest man had also suggested that, while he believed the Reform U.K. Party was the only political group that “can save Britain,” its incumbent leader MP Nigel Farage was the wrong man for the job.
“The Reform Party needs a new leader. Farage doesn’t have what it takes,” expressed Musk prompting the former member of the European Parliament and co-founder of the Brexit Party, which had become the Reform U.K. Party, to contend, “Well, this is a surprise! Elon is a remarkable individual but on this, I am afraid I disagree. My view remains that Tommy Robinson is not right for Reform and I never sell out my principles.”

Reactions to Musk’s poll included suggestions that, as had been proposed of Canada, Britain become a state in America’s union, while others argued America should get its own house in order before aiming to solve international problems.
Not a bad idea

We can certainly liberate them by encouraging them to vote out their current government and elect a new one

They can liberate themselves through the vote. That is why democracy exists.
