Musk and Cummings 'plot' to overthrow Keir Starmer?
from Mallen Baker: Faultlines · host Mallen Baker
Reports came out on Sunday that the former advisor to the prime minister and Brexit campaign supremo Dominic Cummings has been in discussion with Elon Musk about how to get rid of Keir Starmer before the next scheduled election. But, knowing what we know, it's likely this isn't the sole, possibly even the main, point. More likely, it's Dominic Cummings' plan for a new populist party of technocrats. Yes, sounds like a contradiction in terms, but that's what he wants - and it could be a plan custom built to appeal to Musk's sense of self and his mission in the world. Let's discuss.
