Yep. Musk is basically paying people to be full-time racists.

Do they have any anti-racist positions? I bet they pay £1.40 a month.

The algorithms have been tweaked to monetize hate and disinformation.

TBF if you get the right wing element on there to attack you (of which there will be quite a lot now), you'll generate revenue in the same way, providing you've paid for a blue tick of course (which you can hide as people were being ridiculed for doing so when it all started).

So according to the BBC article about his register of interests, Farage works 32hrs/month for GB news (£1.2m/year - seriously?!), 24 hours/month for Cameo (think onlyfans with clothes and morons giving Happy Birthday messages), 16hours/month for the Telegraph, which all adds up to 72hours/month on stuff outside of his, you know, actual real job of being an MP. On a extremely high salary of £92k/year.

This doesn't include the other speeches, jetting off to Brussels, the US to see (or not) Trump etc.

This does raise the question of when actually is he doing his job....

Anyone who thought Farage would knuckle down and get on with his casework as an MP has not been paying attention. The good people of Clacton voted in this charlatan, they're stuck with him. Mugs imho.

At least Rochdale ditched Galloway, who is of a similar stripe.

I doubt that they will be bothered about his grifting.
In a similar vein, over in the US Trump is selling "Assassination Edition" high top sneakers to the muppets who follow him. Naked avarice and relentless con jobs don't seem to dent his support

This apparently is an extract from his disclosure of gifts. The "friend" is Trump of course.

Name-calling will be called out, and Ad hominem will be frowned upon. :-) And whatabout-ery sits somewhere above responding to tone and below contradiction.
