Elon Musk has been desperately trying to prod the United Kingdom into chaos for years. He eagerly promotes far-right hate groups, reposts ludicrous white supremacist conspiracy theories, supports violent hate-monger Tommy Robinson, and recently said he believed civil war in the United Kingdom was “inevitable”.
Now he’s come out with his most deranged and nonsensical comments yet, arguing that rural England is effectively the Shire from JRR Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings, with its inhabitants peaceful, pipe-smoking, barefoot Hobbits whose bucolic lifestyle is under threat from dark-skinned invaders from the south.
