Summary
Elon Musk has supported far-right movements, politicians, and policies in at least 18 countries, promoting nationalism and deregulation.
His endorsements range from online posts to in-person meetings with leaders like Argentina’s Javier Milei and Italy’s Giorgia Meloni.
Critics warn his influence is shaping global far-right politics, despite lacking elected legitimacy. Musk’s growing role in Trump’s White House adds to concerns over his political sway.
Some foreign leaders, like France’s Emmanuel Macron, accuse him of meddling, while others embrace his backing for nationalist agendas.
Jesus Christ, one dude is gonna fuck up the world just because he couldn’t get laid in high school.
…and couple of failed relationships as an adult.
Adult?
Legally.
You’d think this would make it simple for MAGA. If Musk’s agenda is making America great again, why is he preaching the same politics for other nations? Why does it matter to the American people which parties lead foreign nations? Who benefits from widespread deregulation?
We may need to go door-to-door in red states with a bottle of Visine and a bit of the ol’ Ludwig Van.
It’s the same reason we don’t love the idea of other nations being right-wing except not backed by any kind of evidence or precedence. They’re all braindead and think that a country offering universal healthcare and taking themselves off of oil reliance is gunna turn around and be a danger to them.
Elon Musk’s metamorphosis from tech messiah to global far-right puppetmaster is a masterclass in unchecked hubris. His transnational corporate empire fuels a schizophrenic nationalism, peddling deregulation and xenophobia while orbiting Trump’s decaying orbit. The man’s playing Risk with entire democracies, propping up Hitler-quoting German factions and land-grab apologists in South Africa—all while cosplaying as a statesman.
This billionaire’s propaganda machine, X, has become the narcissist’s megaphone, amplifying every reactionary whim from Argentina to Italy. Musk’s “free speech” crusade is just cover for legitimizing fringe movements that would’ve been political poison a decade ago. The irony? His wealth stems from the globalist systems these nationalist clowns claim to despise.
Yet here we are, watching a South African-Canadian-American oligarch dictate terms to Macron and Modi alike. The world’s richest man has no mandate, no borders, and no shame—just a Twitter account and an army of sycophants. Democracy isn’t broken; it’s been outsourced to a meme-stock troll with a Messiah complex.
Maybe these countries should, I don’t know, BAN HIS FUCKING PLATFORMS AND BUSINESSES!?!?
How about we start with a massive DDOS?
I’m starting to get the feeling he wants to be assassinated.
I think the problem here is not so much Musk but the systems of governance that exist in these countries, and I include USA in that, are too open to non-democratic influence. There will always be people seeking to bend politics globally and domestically to their own advantage, but if they are able to succeed the fault lies in the system not their intent to do it. I think the problem is very similar to that found in the financial systems of the world, the weaknesses that provide backdoor and covert direction have been intentionally built into these systems to allow unfair command. These controls are now being used very overtly by people they were not intended for. Leaders complain about the agents exerting these influences because they can not admit to the methods.
With the help of newsrooms like yours, NBC.
Across the globe, except in China. He’s only brave enough to speak up in counties with free speech apparently.
i think in italy they would know how to handle muskolini
Well they have their own home grown Mussolini wannabe anyway.
She best hope it goes better for her than it did for Benito.
