Elon Musk says Reform needs new leader and Nigel Farage ‘doesn’t have what it takes’ (www.independent.co.uk)

The Tesla tycoon said Mr Farage, who founded the party and is credited with its recent surge in the polls, “does not have what it takes”.

His call for change comes as a bitter blow after days of Mr Farage fawning over the world’s richest man, describing him as “a hero” and claiming he makes Reform “look cool”.

He's finished his takeover of the US government and has moved to England and Germany.

Musk is an accelerationist. Their goal is to overturn the global order and rebuild it to their liking. It's all part of the plan.

Nice conspiracy, but I think you are giving him way too much credit. He's just a narcicist asshole with a fetish for power and making people miserable. The world is already to his liking. He can do whatever the fuck he wants, never has consequences even is he illegally influences the stock market, elections and wars.

If only there was a whole bunch of research and direct quotations on the technocratic aspirations of Musk, Thiel, and their assorted crew of cryptofascists that people who actually pay attention might be aware of.

Why would someone that’s “won” the current global order want to rebuild it? The much more likely thing he wants to do is entrench and protect his power by disrupting any government that might challenge him.

Rebuild doesn't mean start again to improve. It means change the system to his benefit.
