To better understand the real specific weight of Tesla’s patron today, also on a purely political level, just look at the recent developments that have literally upset the political balance of the United Kingdom. After having heavily criticized the actions of Labor Prime Minister Keir Starmer in recent weeks, urging him several times to resign and call new elections, Musk’s foray onto the British political scene is now ending up upsetting even the conservatives’ plans. In fact, in the last few hours, Elon Musk has explicitly asked for the right-wing activist’s release Tommy Robinsonimmediately sparking the indignation of many centre-left and liberal British parliamentarians. But not only that. Because several prominent members of the British right have also contacted Donald Trump’s staff to ask the president-elect not to support Robinson’s cause.
The anti-immigration campaigner, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, is currently in prison, serving a sentence for contempt of court for repeating false claims about a Syrian refugee who successfully sued him. Previously, the British activist had also received several convictions for other crimes, which is why the leader of the opposition party and personal friend of Trump, Nigel Faragewould like to avoid his name being compared to that of Robinson, evidently considered inconvenient even on the right. In order to avoid this risk, the British right has therefore undertaken close talks with the American republicans, aimed at making The Donald aware of not supporting the pro-Robinson requests recently advocated by Musk, and thus avoiding the battle in favor of the activist could somehow tarnish the image of the opposition parties.
In any case, regardless of what Donald Trump’s decision will be regarding the Robinson affair, one thing is certain: the blitz by the patron of demonstration of how cumbersome Elon Musk’s aura has now become new international political scenario.
