    Im pretty sure he doesn’t care, didnt he tell some important EU figure literally to go fuck themselves? He isn’t concerned with the opinions of the EU because they’re globalist homos to him, thats why he’s throwing his support behind AFD, BRUV, and some of these other regarded anti-EU, pro-Russian, pro-kleptocrat groups. to help dismantle the EU for Daddy Vlad

      As fascism gains traction and politicians generally speaking lose popularity, someone with as much clout as Elon who tells a ranking EU member to fuck themselves is only going to build their base as a result.

      thats why he’s throwing his support behind AFD, BRUV, and some of these other regarded anti-EU, pro-Russian, pro-kleptocrat groups

      He’s throwing his weight behind them because (a) he has nothing left to gain from the liberal establishment and (b) these underdogs are far more radical and more pliant, so if they win he’ll reap more concessions than from their liberal opposition.

      The desire to put every foul turn in world events on Daddy Vladdy is as much a part of the problem as Elon himself. NATO residents cannot accept that these calls for fascism are coming from inside the house. Elon can’t just be fascist and he can’t be pandering to domestic strains of fascism. They all have to be the consequence of some (comically inept and chronically understaffed) Evil Outsider.
