HIGH-TECH FAR-RIGHT: Elon Musk at Giorgia Meloni’s Brothers of Italy party’s annual festival in Rome, December 2023

POLITICS as spectacle has started 2025 in fine form, with the world’s richest man demanding regime change in Britain while falling out with his erstwhile bestie Nigel Farage.

Elon Musk wishes to imprison Keir Starmer, among others, replacing Labour, it seems, with a government resting upon the far-right grifter Tommy Robinson — unavailable to serve — and the somewhat seedy businessman Reform MP Rupert Lowe, who is presently unwilling to.

The immediate issue animating Musk’s call for US intervention to liberate Britain from Starmerism likewise tends eccentric — a refusal to establish a national inquiry into the scandal of grooming gangs which abused thousands of girls in the recent past.
