      You overestimate the impact the US has on an average Joe outside of it. Most people outside the US don’t give two shits about your president. The world doesn’t revolve around you.

        Given the noise Musk has been making surrounding the political landscape in Germany, the United Kingdom, and lately Canada, it stands to reason that the richest person on the planet is actively trying to make the world revolve around him.

        Sentiment similar to yours was undoubtedly stated a century ago throughout Europe; ‘You overestimate the impact Germany has on the citizenry outside of it.’ Look where that attitude got the world, and here you are saying the same thing.

          Trying to doesn’t mean succeeding. People don’t give two fs about what happens in the US. And they won’t suddenly start caring when you throw in a few “they’re nazis!” in there.
