How should we react to the news that Elon Musk is unhappy with the present executive committee running British capitalism? Musk is apparently also unhappy with Reform Party leader Nigel Farage and wants to see him replaced.
We’re reminded of the saw that life is a tragedy to those who feel and a comedy to those who think. Unfortunately, capitalism is, for the majority, no joke.
A Doge was the term used to refer, during the Renaissance to an elected head of Italian city states. Elon Musk is tasked by Donald Trump to run a non-federal executive Department of Government Efficiency, known as DOGE. The two things are probably unrelated but under capitalism extreme wealth equals extreme power and Musk certainly appears to be intent on having his fingers in many pies.
‘Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has continued to spar online with the top British leadership, suggesting Washington should become involved and “liberate” the Brits from their supposedly “tyrannical government.”
The billionaire conducted a poll on the idea on Monday on his social media platform X, asking users whether “America should liberate the people of Britain from their tyrannical government.” The proposal got a positive reception, with nearly 59% of respondents backing it. More than 1.4 million people voted on the issue in less than 12 hours.
The apparent regime-change suggestion comes amid a continuing attack launched last week by the US-based billionaire against the top British leadership. Musk has targeted British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, accusing him of failing to tackle the grooming-gangs issue and to properly investigate numerous assaults on underage girls at the time the incumbent PM headed the UK’s Crown Prosecution Service, from 2008 to 2013.’
