A born rich unwashed asshole with self esteem issues and ketamine addled brain thinks his political opinions matter more than the masses.

He’s a dangerous meddling prick. The movie Amsterdam highlights the dangers of assholes like Elon, as did the atrocities of WWII.

I think they are banking in him being so cringy that not even the EU far right wants to associate with him.

It might tank support for the AfD.
