Don’t know the Norwegian press at all - rather than not knowing how to deal with it, is there a mainstream element that benefits from fanning the flames of racism?

Oh yeah. The Norwegian Progress Party might be the largest party in parliament after the general elections this autumn. The usual european kind of populist far right party, and originally founded and financed as an Apartheid South Africa political op.

It does seem like a lot of the media are missing what the actual story is across all these Musk interventions - the richest man in the World and close ally of the President elect is a major spreader of far right conspiracies, set on undermining democracy.

They’re not missing it at all. The newspapers are owned by people who share Musk’s views.

What they should be saying instead: "Hey, Elon, you can shut up the easy way or the Norway".
