Innocent mistake or blatant dog-whistle? : Elon Musk
YouTube video by Femi Innocent mistake or blatant dog-whistle? : Elon Musk

This is a message to everyone defending Elon Musk over his sieg heil at the Trump Inauguration.

TLDR: His Nazi Salute isn't what make him a Nazi, his support for Nazis is. The salute is just a garnish.

I used to work at said institution. The department of stating the patently bloody obvious has a huge research grant. It is primary research centres like this that have made UK higher education all that it is today. Bankrupt!

Is Elon Musk Planning To Make A 'F*** You Starmer' $100 Million Donation To Reform UK? The tech billionaire has been at war with the PM for months.

I mean this obviously can't stand. You can't have a foreign extremist, who used social media to encourage & facilitate far-right violence, plough huge donations to his favoured British political party.

Many farmers supported Brexit because they did not like the paperwork the EU Grants entailed. Little realising no paperwork, no grants , no money
