Musk takes ‘crusade’ to Europe with Armie Hammer film

"Something that Musk shares with members of the American right and particularly with Donald Trump's circle is a view of Europe and the UK as the ancestral home of white civilisation, but a home that has surrendered itself to the woke forces of multiculturalism," says Tarnoff.

Critics say Musk amplified anti-immigration rhetoric during violent riots in Belfast Although at one point he toyed with donating huge sums of money to Reform UK, he since broke with Nigel Farage over Farage's shunning of Robinson, and more recently has boosted the profile of Rupert Lowe's breakaway party Restore Britain – a Reform rival that seeks to take an even tougher line on immigration.

Musk also recently reposted a video from the far-right activist Tommy Robinson that suggested police are going easy on criminals if they have brown skin, with the comment "literally true".
