whether the party is more you know should sit more left or more right or whatever I think a lot of the frustration is there is just no vision you're right it's a lot of technocratic tweaks and a lot of top-down party management but to what end if we're not actually doing anything consequential what's the point of having this iron grip on the party and I think the reason people wanted Burnham in and there was a strong argument for bringing Burnham in and giving him a cabinet position you know like like David Cameron did with Boris Johnson where obviously it didn't
stop him from becoming prime minister and ruining the country.
But it did kind of keep him a bit silent for a while.
It's that you could have a cabinet of all talents and you could show that you want someone who has vision and experience in there.
And the fact that Keir Starmer has cut that off, I think, is making people say, what is the Labour Party for?

So I think Musk has developed an unhealthy obsession with UK politics and he's really focused a lot of his attacks on Keir Starmer. Keir Starmer is a lightning rod for this because I think he has a legal background. You know, he was director of the CPS in the 2010s. So there are lots of things that conspiracy theory accounts can link to Keir Starmer.

We've seen that most recently with the grooming gangs. I saw an interesting statistic earlier, I think from Tortoise Media, that said that over the past week, Elon Musk has posted more than 200 times on grooming gang scandal in less than two weeks. So that just shows you, you know, considering this man owns Tesla, he's the richest man in the world.
