Billionaire Elon Musk has thrown his support behind far-right leader Marine Le Pen's bid for the French presidency, prompting accusations of foreign interference in the 2027 election.

Musk on Wednesday called Le Pen "France's last hope" on his social media platform X, in a post declaring his support for her presidential bid – which she confirmed earlier this month, even after her conviction for embezzlement was upheld on appeal.

The slop of the world, trying to keep society pointed at the few rather than the many. They don't deserve the air they breathe.

I am curious how this turns out.

America deserves every bit of criticism for where they're at right now, but I've thought for a while that they're just the first in what might be a worldwide shift towards technofeudalism and its associated far-right politics. Europe is clearly having its own issues, but I hope that the differences in approach means they won't fall into the same pit as the USA.

Unfortunately, I think there are many more similarities than most people have noticed, or at least than are being discussed. It's relatively easy to bash American politics and rhetoric, but it can be more difficult to see it at one's own door -- and more difficult still to stop it from coming inside.
