Billionaire BS: How can Britain Stop Musk’s Disinformation?

And electric vehicles is another classic example. Obviously, Musk is very much in favour of electric vehicles. This comes into contrast with a lot of thought in the Republican Party about net zero being this scourge and then the interest of the Rust Belt and all these things.

And Elon Musk, as we can see, is a highly unpredictable character who seems to be extremely high on his own supply at the minute. And the question is, where do all these tech bros go? How do they fall in line when you get that division? You know, if Musk and Trump have a huge fallout, where does Zuckerberg go? What side of the fence would he like to sit on?

As much as it feels ideological, and I'm sure there is a lot of ideology to the selfishness of it, I don't think they are driven in the same way Trump is by his... I think they just follow the money.

This is so crazy to me. But I'm sure it's just another publicity stunt from Tate, isn't it? I mean, there's no actual chance that he thinks he's going to do anything significant politically. It's just another way for him to involve himself in the current argument of the right.

How was it? It was corporate. I think there is a perception that Labour Party conference is one of the more fun conferences. And this year felt so actually overrun with business people, in my opinion. I mean, it was very crowded. All the fringe events were standing room only. There were lots of, you know, men in suits patrolling, which, you know, isn't unusual for a political conference.
