      From Bloomberg News reporter [Alex Wickham](https://www.bloomberg.com/authors/AV1oEPH6RqA/alex-wickham):

      Senior politicians on the UK right have privately contacted Donald Trump’s allies, urging the US President-elect’s team not to endorse British far-right activist Tommy Robinson, after billionaire Tesla boss Elon Musk called for him to be released from prison.

      Several prominent Brexit-supporting politicians with links to Trump spent Thursday warning their Republican counterparts against following Musk’s endorsement of Robinson, saying it was a step too far, according to people familiar with the views of both the Conservative and Reform UK parties, who requested anonymity discussing behind-the-scenes communications. They declined to publicly name the British politicians involved.

      Musk — who is set to play a key role in Trump’s incoming administration — began 2025 with a [volley](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-01-02/elon-musk-calls-for-fresh-uk-elections-in-latest-starmer-attack) of posts on his social media platform X stating that Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, should be freed from jail, where he is serving a sentence after pleading guilty to contempt of court last year.

      Musk is so ham-fisted. A foreign billionaire publicly interfering to help far right parties will likely hurt them.

      I was thinking it’d just be Badenoch and the Cons saying he went to far, but damn, even Nigel?

      Sometimes some main characters don’t finish the game because NPCs aren’t programmed to allow certain in-game outcomes, regardless of what the MC wants to do.

      Going balls deep as your first step is usually not a good first step, Elon.

    6. BabyMFBear on

      Musk has given the whole game away, and the right is angry about it. Good. Fuck em all.

    7. RRRRingringringring on

      Musk is honestly such a detriment to all of us.

      Wonder if he’ll be seen in the same vein as people like Hitler by our future selves.

      Elmo about to learn that right wing is not the same everywhere..or anywhere.

      Doesn’t Elon’s attacks on Starmer pretty clearly violate the UKs defamation laws?

      Turns out being contrarian for the sake of it and being a teenage edgelord at 50+ is just embarrassing lmao

      Musk runs 6 companies, 1 pseudo government agency, and shitposts 24/7. He obviously spends less than a nanosecond per day doing his fiduciary duties.

    14. lostharbor on

      Bad news, Trump and allies don’t give a fuck what anyone thinks.

    15. cowboy_mouth on

      Tommy Robinson was arrested in 2012 for trying to enter the US with a fake passport. I guess some Conservatives will happily turn a blind eye to that sort of thing, for the white reason of course.

      A sternly worded letter probably isn’t stopping Edgelordius Maximus. Kinda cute they think so though.

    19. chriskot123 on

      Being a POS edgelord who constantly trolls and takes contrarian views just for the sake of it was always going to catch up with him. Hopefully sooner rather than later

      This seems to be going under the radar on reddit but Musk is currently on some unhinged campaign to try to incite further race riots in the UK by dragging up child grooming scandals that mostly over a decade old then sprinkling them with misinformation. He’s tweeted about it almost exclusively for the past few days.

      Unfortunately this is going beyond just Musk now, Mike Lee (Utah Senator) has called for ‘consequences’ for the UK if we don’t release Tommy Robinson (who is in jail after pleading guilty for contempt of court, Musk is falsely saying it’s a freedom of speech thing). Charlie Kirk has also called for economic pressure for the same thing.

      It’s a flagrant violation of the UK’s sovereignty and we urgently need to review our defence ties with the US. Terrifyingly, we use American SLBMs for our nuclear deterrent so this is now a massive national security issue.

      Seems like he’s ignorantly trying to recruit international allies.

      Looks like it’s backfiring.

      It’s interesting how the idiots pick and choose who’s business to poke their noses in while simultaneously preaching that “it’s none of our business” when they turn a blind eye to others.

      Lord Aust can’t keep his mouth shut and is void of human empathy. Very surprising… /s

    32. Clutteredmind275 on

      I may not like the right in general but I respect the HELL out of right wingers that STILL want to preserve democracy

    33. FauxReal on

      I really hope Musk is offended and starts talking shit about them. The fighting will be hilarious.

    35. tooobr on

      right wingers find out someone they thought agreed with them … is actually a reckless piece of shit

      the overlap, it was just so hard to see until now! Poor tories. Always been such a defender of democracy and regular people.

      or they’re just pissed that musk is fully mask-off and makes it harder for them to deceive people and exploit their fear and desperation.

      Idiots and assholes.

    37. Frequent_Can117 on

      Musk has gone too far and needs to get his ass whooped to humble him. Tired of seeing that moon-faced moron everywhere. He is a fucking idiot living off of his daddy’s money. Essentially, a dumb ass trust fund kid.

      The GOP decided to go with hats since last time, the Nazis wore armbands.

    39. Additional-Friend993 on

      The news just feels like nonstop updates on a kiwifarms thread for this fool these days.

    40. MovieGuyMike on

      Turns out Musk is the globalist bogeyman republicans have been freaking out about since 2016

    41. hfdsicdo on

      He’s too old to be entering politics for the first time. He still hasn’t learned the basics.

      Like when to shut the fuck up, and don’t start off extremist. You need to work up to it

    42. Mediocre-Joe on

      Good thing he lives in the US and we dont care what random hate speech laws the UK has

    43. Much_Guava_1396 on

      Musk seems to be going through some sort of mental health crisis for the last couple of years. The dude is clearly not well. I get that he’s a rich asshole, but this goes far beyond the usual rich asshole shenanigans. Self medicating with ketamine is probably only making it worse.

    44. GreenConstruction834 on

      Like the Republicans even care. All they want is handouts.

    45. NoMoCouch on

      Anyone worried about his dominance of space? I mean, he technically is competing with all nations for that right now.

    46. Sweetieandlittleman on

      Today, South Korea is arresting a president who tried to become a dictator, Europe is telling Musk to stay out of their governments.

      And the USA? The USA has become a joke of a country that elected a traitorous rapist. I can’t tell you how depressing it is to be an American today.
