America needs to learn the terrifying lesson of the British riots. This was #Musk’s trial balloon for the US election.

The prospect of political violence is real. And Musk’s behaviour is a warning shot of what’s to come. My piece for ObserverUK:

Inciting rioters in Britain was a test run for Elon Musk. Just see what he plans for America

The presidential election is three months away. What if the billionaire contests the result? What if he decides democracy is overrated?
