So a man who has a lot of money can video in to a crowd of concerned people (with a thug at its heart) and basically call for insurrection in a country in which he has no citizenship or other interest apart for money and the UK Govt does nothing and continues to fill his pockets by using his SM

The timing of the "split" is no coicidence. Putin and Musk put Trump in office. Musk already got what he needed. But Putin installed Trump SOLELY for Ukraine. Zelensky outsmarted Trump and Putin. Trump is in trouble!

There's more to Trump-Musk catfight than you see. Trump failed Putin on Ukraine. He wants him out.
