Musk's far-right 'supporting liberal extremists loyal to the power of money'
The Guardian, a British newspaper, diagnosed Elon Musk's indiscriminate support for European far-right parties as a "tactic of fostering hatred and supporting liberal extremists loyal to the power of money" in an editorial on the 6th.
In its editorial <The Guardian's view on Elon Musk's disinformation: Increasing hatred and a threat to democracy> on the 6th, the Guardian stated, "Musk's 'success' is due less to his brilliance than to a political and media environment ripe for exploitation," and "Britain is not yet the United States where Trump-style poison has polluted the well, and it should not be allowed to go down the same path."
The Guardian editorial diagnosed, "The goal is clear: to create a group of people in society who unquestioningly accept the words of an authoritarian leader," and "In this way, opinions are no longer based on facts but are rooted in identity, and disinformation becomes a powerful political weapon, making voters believe lies while distrusting and even hating those who do not."
The editorial continued, “Musk values the power to shape belief systems that enable flexible governance, and politicians who refuse to agree with his agenda can be abandoned because they bet that their followers will support the candidates he supports.” As a result, Nigel Farage, the leader of Britain’s far-right Reform Party, which has received billions of dollars in political funding, has learned this the hard way, and Kemi Badenoch of the Conservative Party risks repeating the same mistake.”
French President Emmanuel Macron has previously said that “the owner of one of the world’s largest social networks will support a new international reactionary movement and directly interfere in elections.”
The Guardian said, “Who could have predicted this? Musk’s intervention in Europe is selfish,” adding, “Musk’s goal is to build up far-right extremists loyal to the plutocracy,” and “use attacks on liberal elites, feminists, immigrants and Muslims as his rallying cry.”
In the United States, Musk's expansion of the Trump regime's far-right identity has become a political goal of 'forming favorable regulations', and the Guardian diagnosed that economic competitors are now afraid of his political power.
Musk's strategy is a paradox of paradoxes. He strategically turned the 'campaign for equality' into discontent politics and treated it as a target of attack.
The Guardian stated that "Musk and his far-right followers are developing a tactic of using the 'demand for equality' in the 'politics of discontent' that they ridicule."
As Tesla CEO, Elon Musk began supporting the pro-Nazi 'Alternative for Germany (AfD)' far-right party, which disparaged the German Social Democratic government as a 'tyrant' and even targeted the intelligence agency for its extreme tracking and blocking because it produces Tesla electric cars in Germany, as the identity of Germany.
The New York Times published a column titled “Elon Musk’s Dishonest Propaganda Against Grooming Gangs” on the 6th, analyzing Musk’s support for the far-right British Reform Party and his publicity campaign to overthrow the British Labor government.
Musk has recently developed a new tactic using X to attack the Prime Minister and Labour Minister of the Labour government by calling for “imprisonment” based on the horrific story of the “gang rape of girls” that occurred in the British countryside 10 years ago.
Musk, the owner of the X platform, has been posting a series of posts in recent days slandering Jess Phillips, the Labour Minister in charge of violence against women and girls, as a “rape and mass murder advocate” and calling for her imprisonment.
Musk added to this by calling for the imprisonment of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer (Labour Party), and called for an indiscriminate political offensive against the British monarch, including dissolving Parliament and holding a new election, which the monarch cannot do.
Musk, the world’s richest man and an unofficial member of the Trump regime, wields enormous influence and has led his followers in the US and UK to call for a “new national inquiry into the minister” in a case that British Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch failed to initiate or even pay attention to last year when the Conservatives were in power.
The New York Times said, “In this uproar, we are seeing a particularly wild right-wing version of the old-fashioned Twitter mob, but with much higher stakes,” and “Musk is using genuine brutality to advance his campaign for mass immigration with British Labour’s Starmer, with whom he has had a long-standing feud over social media regulation.”
The New York Times said of the facts behind it, “Instinctive fear-mongering is the essence of wild-stakes stories,” “especially for those who are just learning about them.”
The New York Times, which diagnosed that much of Musk’s propaganda about the current Labour government’s failings was distorted or clearly untrue, stated that “this is part of his increasingly fierce crusade against the world’s remaining liberal leaders,” and described it as a “new war technique.”
Regarding the beginning of the incident, “What most angered Musk was that Phillips, who became Labour’s Labour Secretary, refused to launch a national (rather than state) inquiry into grooming and child sexual exploitation cases in Oldham a decade ago,” and “Phillips said that the inquiry should be commissioned locally, as in the cases of Rotherham and Telford, and while this may have been the right decision, it was not a shocking decision,” the New York Times said.
The Independent reported that “the previous Conservative government last year also refused Oldham’s request for the same ‘local inquiry’ reason,” clarifying the facts.
The New York Times said of the incident, “Musk and his far-right followers have used it as a basis for their attack tactic of claiming that the Labor Secretary, a female politician with a long history of feminism, was ‘engaged in a monstrous cover-up’ to protect the current Prime Minister and Labor Party’s Starmer, who was the Director of Public Prosecutions from 2008 to 2013.”
In this matter, the then-Director of Public Prosecutions, now Prime Minister Starmer, made the right decision, and this has long been assessed. The Financial Times reported that in his final year as Crown Prosecutor, Starmer “launched prosecutions against the Rochdale grooming gang”, “shortly after the Greater Manchester town scandal first came to light”, and that he had overhauled the way the Crown Prosecution Service investigates “sexual abuse so that more perpetrators can be brought to justice”, making it “easier to revisit old cases”.
The Times, which details the case over the past decade, does not mean that Starmer’s record as a prosecutor has been flawless, but points out some of the mistakes, and points to Starmer’s admission of wrongdoing as new evidence.
In 2009, prosecutors in his office dropped charges against a group of Rochdale abusers despite DNA evidence, claiming the victims were unreliable.
But two years later, with Starmer’s support, the new Crown Prosecutor in the North West of England, Nazir Afzal, reopened the case and Nine people were convicted.
Prosecutor Afzal said in 2022 that "Keir Starmer was 100% behind the decision to publicly admit that we had made mistakes in the past."
The New York Times reported that Musk's smear campaign "never allowed Starmer to admit his mistakes and take steps to correct them," calling it "deliberate amplification of hate."
