It was not the first online intervention by Elon Musk, the entrepreneur and adviser to Donald Trump, on behalf of once-fringe anti-immigrant parties in Europe.

    I’m pretty sure he has zero doubts that he knows what’s best for the world, and no moral qualms about using his money to buy power. So, yes, I think taking over the world (in his mind, “saving” the world) is probably where this is going.

      I’d like to believe he started off with good intentions (might just be bias based on media coverage from before) and slowly turn to the dark side. It’s crazy what money (and the promise of influence) does to a narcissist.

        He didn’t. He’s like they guys that idolize Rick in Rick and Morty. He talks about colonizing space, and says he’s inspired by the Empire in Foundation, and Warhammer 40k. He’s just a childish fascist

          Yeah, I have to vehemently disagree with that one. Rick is anything but a fascist and very different to Elon…
