Tweet Since crashing out of Downing Street on a wave of ruined mortgages and denial, Liz Truss has been courting the approval of the US hard right with a truly cringe-making determination. In particular, she has hitched her wagon to the soon-to-be trillionaire Elon Musk as though the words ‘reason’, ‘dignity’ and ‘self-respect’ had never darkened her dictionary. On Tuesday, Musk posted about his social media platform’s status as a news site. His claim was met with a certain degree of scepticism. It‘s not a News App anymore, @elonmusk, it‘s mainly a propaganda machine for you and your fascist friends and business partners. The only reason to stay here is to be informed about when the Gestapo is coming to my door. https://t.co/cnHHCTWACD
