So the Musk family foundation stumped up for Tommy Robinson's trip to Moscow last month. Errol Musk took him along to a Kremlin-backed economic forum. They sat down with Russian business types. And now the usual crowd is clutching pearls as if Robinson had defected to the enemy.
Let's cut through the spin. Robinson has spent years pointing out what polls keep showing the public already knows. Mass immigration has strained communities, integration has failed in too many places, and national identity matters to ordinary Brits who foot the bill. That's not extremism. That's stating the bleeding obvious.
Errol Musk called Robinson "a fine young man". He said he brought him out to Russia and that the lad got stuck into the meetings, hotheaded but learning. Fair enough. Robinson posted a video from their Moscow hotel saying they were going to "cause some trouble". Then he came home, got detained at Heathrow under counter-terrorism laws, and still carries on talking about immigration and integration.
I brought him out to Russia.
The hand-wringers want you to focus on the Russia bit. Forget the grooming gang scandals successive governments ignored. Forget the knife crime, the no-go areas, the parents watching their kids' schools change beyond recognition. No, the real danger is a working-class activist chatting to Russians about Britain's mess.
Robinson said Russia is not the enemy of Britain. He's right. The enemy is the domestic failure to control borders, enforce integration and protect the taxpayer from the costs of policies that clearly aren't working. Year after year the same pattern repeats. Warnings dismissed as hate. Crime stats massaged. Public concern labelled far-right. Then another stabbing, another riot, another inquiry that changes nothing.
The Musk connection changes the game. When one of the world's richest families starts funding voices the British establishment wants silenced, it shows the debate is shifting. International attention is landing on Britain's sovereignty failures. Polls keep confirming what Robinson says resonates with millions who feel ignored.
