Col on Nostr: Elon Musk’s avid interest in Westminster has left many scratching their heads, says ...
Elon Musk’s avid interest in Westminster has left many scratching their heads, says Ed West on Substack. Some argue he is mad with power and loves the influence he wields in smaller countries; others say his English ancestry (he had a Liverpool grandmother) means he feels part of a diaspora and naturally cares what happens in the UK. A more convincing theory is that the billionaire is an insomniac, and follows British politics on account of “spending so many waking hours on European time”.
