In fairness to Elon. If he was wanting to weaponise his platform to influence, and radicalise, people at a wider scale Britain is absolutely ripe for it. The Johnson, Sunak, Starmer and Farages of this world have all laid the ground work with their relentless messaging to demonise migrants.
All he’s doing is testing flipping the medium from The Sun, the Daily Mail and Telegraphs of the mainstream press. If he was able to usurp the undue influence of the written and broadcast press in the UK it’d give him disproportionate influence over policy making for decades to come as we’ve seen with Murdoch, the Barclay brothers, Lord Lebedev.
Make it work here - where next? Australia, New Zealand, the USA.
