Default

Many people feel defensive when foreigners criticise their country, especially
when it is foreigners they feel entitled to dislike – rich, white Americans. Many
also argue that as an outsider, Musk shouldn’t stick his nose into British politics,
an argument often made by people who comment non-stop about American
affairs, or from politicians who are happy to exploit foreign diaspora politics
when it suits them electorally.

I agree that Musk’s uniquely powerful position, by owning a social media
platform, makes it inappropriate or unwise for him to be overtly political; his
language is inflammatory at times, and he doesn’t seem that meticulous about
fact checking; his tweeting feels very erratic, even unhinged. But as one of
Albion’s Seed, he has a right to speak up about what’s happening in the Old
Country – and he’s right to notice how bad things have got.
