Opinion: All upcoming despots appear scared politicians with many seemingly linked to Putin’s ambitions and are intent of destroying energy source and turn the west dark and kill hope whether by lies or bullying anyone opposed to their vision of reality.
Media control or control of power supplies as in Gaza and Ukraine is the more direct action. Mr Trump is a master at this and so loves those that reflect this action for it shines light on His ego. As an aside Mr Musk has the surname Robinson in his own Family and maybe that subconsciously triggers when Tommy Robinsons aka Steve Lennon’s name is used and possibly someone in that group are massaging a response.
