Elon I
The billionaire is stirring up a frenzy among European establishments with his statements on X. Interference? Perhaps not. Grande politique? Undoubtedly.

Is walking back when standing at the edge of a cliff instead of taking a big step forward, reactionary ? Emmanuel Macron thinks so. But who still listens to him ?
To our knowledge, Elon Musk does not finance any extensive network of foundations and NGOs aimed at imposing an unwelcome ideology and social model by influencing political leaders, elections, and the media. He merely shares his opinion. Whilst this may be irritating to some, he does so openly and transparently, inviting public debate and allowing for direct rebuttal.
That said, his criticisms of the UK and German governments carry significant implications. These goverbnements are likely facing consequences for their active collaboration with the American deep state’s efforts to undermine Donald Trump since 2015. It would be naïve to assume that Musk is making such bold statements without the backing of the president-elect and his transition team.
And it looks like it is working.
Somethin’s Rotten In ‘Em Kingdoms
The story began in the summer of 2015, when then-CIA Director John Brennan enlisted allied intelligence agencies to monitor members of Donald Trump’s campaign team, citing alleged collusion with Russia. This narrative, however, was a fabrication orchestrated by Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
Shortly before, John Brennan had briefed Barack Obama about the questionable actions of Clinton’s campaign team, including a defamatory dossier. This dossier falsely claimed, among other allegations, that the Kremlin held compromising material on Donald Trump, involving a scandalous encounter with prostitutes and golden showers in a Moscow luxury hotel. Barack Obama chose not to act upon that —a decision that raises serious questions about his character and his commitment to democracy.
L’Eclaireur has chosen not to rely on any subsidies, whether public or private, nor on advertising or crowdfunding. Our existence and independence are sustained solely by your subscriptions.
Worse still, it was solely on the basis of this report—a fabricated document commissioned and paid for by Clinton’s campaign to the British firm Fusion GPS and authored by a former senior MI6 official (the infamous Steele dossier, named after its author)—that the Department of Justice requested and obtained FISA warrants. These warrants authorized the FBI to conduct physical and electronic surveillance of key members of Trump’s campaign, which was spied on for political purposes. They also permitted the judicial use of intelligence provided by foreign intelligence agencies that responded favorably to Brennan’s request (order), chief among them, unsurprisingly, the British and German (Danes too, thus the Greenland antic).
Where the story gets interesting is with the revelation of this illicit judicial surveillance. The person who exposed it, a former counterterrorism prosecutor and then the chief investigator working for the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, is Kash Patel. Yes, the same Kash Patel whom Donald Trump has just appointed as the head of the FBI.
Revenge is a dish best served cold.
Donald Trump won the 2016 Republican primary by crushing the GOP’s establishment. He went on to win the presidential election the same year by defeating the political and media establishment as a whole. At the time, when he declared the need to "drain the swamp," few understood that his target was not the entire establishment—of which he belongs —but rather the so-called Euro-Atlantic elites. These elites, largely composed of individuals whose only qualification is being born into it, are marked by mediocrity. Chief among them is, of course, the Washington “Blob.”
Trump’s agenda on this front has not changed. The difference now is that he has secured an indisputable mandate from the American People to drain the swamp: winning the popular vote, the Electoral College, an absolute majority in both chambers of Congress, and a majority of state governors. And he has two years to achieve this, given the midterm elections.
It seems he does not intend to repeat the mistakes of his first term. He is before taking office targeting what he can target: the European segment of the Euro-Atlantic establishment - its two main strongholds being the United Kingdom and Germany.
Let’s turn back to Elon Musk. With the acquisition of Twitter, now rebranded as X, he has access to a vast trove of information about the questionable ties between state apparatuses on both sides of the Atlantic and the platform. Notably, the “Twitter Files” have only exposed collusion between the U.S. federal government and Twitter. So far, no information has been released about the platform’s interactions with European governments. When that comes to light, it’s likely to be highly informative, as hinted at in a 2013 article by Glenn Greenwald in the British newspaper The Guardian.
The American imperial system, now embodied by the industrial censorship complex, has two key pillars—besides NATO and its subsidiary the EU —namely the United Kingdom and Germany. The "Blob"—or the deep state, if you will—has long relied on a network of foundations and NGOs to influence public opinion in Europe, particularly in these two countries.
This infrastructure for manipulating the political debate in the West took on a new dimension following Hillary Clinton’s defeat in 2016, under the pretext of fighting “disinformation.” To circumvent the U.S. Constitution and the First Amendment, the "Blob" began using the network of foundations and NGOs it finances to target political discourse within the U.S. This network, originally established in Europe to combat communism and strengthen U.S. soft power, has been repurposed to influence domestic American politics. The European Digital Services Act (DSA) is one example of this oblique strategy. We’ve demonstrated how Thierry Breton, fomer EU commisionner the European Commissioner at the time, took his orders from Joe Biden’s deputy national security advisor.
Another tool being used is the network of NGOs and advertising cartels that utilize intimidation tactics to block media and platforms critical of the status quo from accessing the advertising market. They also pressure advertisers to avoid promoting on such platforms, as experiences by our colleagues at UnHerd in the UK.
This behavior is a blatant violation of competition law and constitutes a criminal offense. The Global Disinformation Index (GDI) and the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) are UK-based charities funded by public moneys, including U.S. federal funds funneled through foundations...
Similar to Hamilton 68, the dashboard created by The Alliance for Securing Democracy—a CIA front funded by the German Marshall Fund—was operated from the UK and tracked 900 Twitter accounts accused of spreading disinformation. Matt Taibbi (yes, him again) exposed through the Twitter Files that this claim was false. These methods have been in play since the Cold War. It's also noteworthy that the GDI’s board of directors is entirely made up of people from the CCDH, the NGO fixated on “killing Elon Musk’s Twitter,” against which the Trump campaign filed a lawsuit.
The current strategy of the future Trump administration is to dismantle the British and German Euro-Atlantic establishments, cutting the "Blob" off from its european support base. A well-executed plan that paves the wayfor the eventual demise of NATO and the EU.
Is it surprising that Elon Musk is targeting the United Kingdom and Germany? Nope.
The three nations that truly frighten American imperialists are the French ,the Italians and Greeks, as they are the only ones in Europe with the potential to challenge the system. Greece has been literally destroyed by the IMD and the EU. In France, the establishment has plundered and devastated the country to serve American interests, all while stifling any form of opposition. Italy, on the other hand, has never fully emerged from the influence of the Allied Military Government of Occupied Territories (AMGot), and Ms. Meloni was grommed by the Aspen Institute. She may have even whispered to Elon "Muskito caro mio" - who knows?
