Musk is now calling anyone who disagrees with him on immigration a "traitor". Previously, he promoted a violent movie where a "vigilante" murders random immigrants, and retweeted a comment on it, “Always hang a traitor before you shoot an enemy”.
Here’s the thing: it WASNT A TOUGH INTERVIEW!
For over an hour she completely acquiesced to him rambling about how the “economy is actually like an organism” and other midwit half formed thoughts from his ketamine addled mind.
She pushed back *slightly* ONCE and this happened.
“[Elon Musk] is an anti-Muslim bigot. And that's not me calling him that. That's him embracing it.”
I was on @PiersUncensored today, discussing, among oher things, Musk's car-crash and bigoted interview with The Economist's @zannymb:
Elon Musk’s visible shock when confronted with the fact that London is safer than American cities exposes a massive gap between social media algorithms and statistical reality.
Despite the endless stream of online panic about ”dangerous” European capitals, the numbers don’t lie: London is objectively safer than almost every city in the United States.
The idea that London is a crime-ridden wasteland is a triumph of online disinformation, allowed to spread unchecked on platforms like X because it fits a specific political narrative.
The actual data shows that London's homicide rate sits at roughly 1.1 per 100,000 people. To put that in perspective, 100 out of the 100 largest US cities (!!!) have higher homicide rates than London, and 49 out of 50 US states are more dangerous on this metric. London achieves this safety record despite being a massive, diverse global hub of nine million residents.
Critics often point to property crime or phone snatching to argue that London is worse, but using petty crime to ignore murder statistics is fundamentally flawed. Criminologists rely heavily on homicide rates because non-fatal crime statistics are notoriously harder to compare and more unreliable. Theft, sexual violence, and minor assault reporting rates fluctuate wildly depending on how much citizens trust local police or whether they need a police report for an insurance claim. Forms of non-lethal violence also vary based on legislation: you will naturally see more stabbings in a country with fewer guns, and more gun violence in a country with more guns.
Homicide, by contrast, is an absolute and objective metric. It measures the ultimate form of violence, correlates strongly with overall severe crime, and leaves almost no room for underreporting. It counts all forms of lethal violence in an unhackable way. It is impossible to claim your city is safer than London if you have a five times higher homicide rate, even if London scores worse on theft.
London has plenty of room for improvement, but American commentators living under drastically higher murder rates should clean up their own backyard before preaching to others

Der enorme Unmut über Merz in der CDU nimmt bisher nicht gekannte Formen an. Die Landtagsfraktion in Rheinland-Pfalz sagt einen bereits vereinbarten Besuch im Kanzleramt mit einem geharnischten Brief ab: "Ein persönlicher Austausch (...) setzt aus unserer Sicht ein Mindestmaß an gegenseitigem Vertrauen und Wertschätzung voraus, was durch die aktuelle Situation so leider nicht gegeben ist."
