Fresh from pouring his money and energies into helping Donald Trump win reelection, Elon Musk has trained his sights on Europe, setting off alarm bells among politicians across the continent.

The Tesla and SpaceX chief executive has endorsed the far-right Alternative for Germany, demanded the release of jailed U.K. anti-Islam extremist Tommy Robinson and called British Prime Minister Keir Starmer an evil tyrant who should be in prison.

    Slacktivists won’t like this, though.

    Yeah, and unfortunately most people fall in that category. Just need to look at how many people say “we need another Luigi”, and someone should Luigi Elon/Zuckerberg/whoever”, it’s always someone else who should do something while they remain online making memes. Sometimes it’s the government who “should do something about global warming, while I keep choosing to follow a meat based diet that is more expensive and much worse for the climate than a plant based one, because I shouldn’t have to do anything!”

    Someone else should always do something about the thing, because heaven forbid those people actually do something and give up some comforts.
