The games are played at the whim of internet megastar MrBeast, AKA 26-year-old multimillionaire Jimmy Donaldson, making any sort of strategy impossible. Losers fall from high pedestals into a vortex of oblivion.
It was obvious from the get-go there could be no winners from cosying up to Donald Trump’s BFF (for now). For in Musk Games, up to $100m was being dangled as the prize for Reform UK if Nigel Farage could walk the tightrope between endorsing jailed far-right thug Tommy Robinson’s take on the child grooming scandal, maintaining Musk’s respect and saying what’s acceptable in the UK.
Elon Musk will get bored of the UK - and we will pay the price
Read MoreAfter a BBC interview on Sunday in which Farage refused to endorse Musk’s views on Robinson, the Reform leader was dropped into the vortex with Gamemaster Musk, who said he hasn’t “got what it takes” to lead the party. It was a “surprise” Farage tweeted, through gritted teeth.
Lowe, a former MEP, thanked Musk for his “kind comments” and praised Robinson’s “role in exposing these gangs”.
In Musk Games there may not be many winners, but there are plenty of losers. Safeguarding minister Jess Phillips received sinister threats in the wake of posts on X by Musk that she was a “rape genocide apologist” who should go to prison for her handling of the child sex abuse scandal.
By Monday Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said a “line has been crossed” in Phillips’s treatment. During an impassioned defence of his own record as director of public prosecutions dealing with the cases and her work protecting women, Starmer avoided namechecking Musk. Instead, his ire was reserved for Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch.
Some in the Tory Party agree that, in the fight to occupy the space for votes being gobbled up by Reform, Badenoch’s call for a national inquiry into the sexual abuse cases is misjudged. She has made the mistake of associating herself too closely with the increasingly unpredictable ramblings of Musk.
Vying for political space with Farage, the argument goes in some Tory circles, is not the way to win back the majority of centrist voters needed to win the next election. And this even as the Tories brace for bleeding out county council seats to Reform in May.
Allies of Badenoch reject that view, saying she wants to join the dots in the decades of failure by police, charities, social services and other authorities. They also dismiss the charge she could have made more of the issue during the Tories’ 14 years in power, and add that implementing the recommendations of Professor Alexis Jay’s review didn’t fall under her brief.
Brits don't like Elon Musk - Farage is better off without him
Read MoreBack in the dystopian world of Musk Games, the losers keep piling up. Starmer was immediately accused of ignoring the needs of the victims in the case and implying his critics were on the far right. That line will repeat on him come the next Prime Minister’s Questions as MPs line up to remind him the real focus of this episode must be the vulnerable young girls who survived the abuse.
Last month several Trumpists criticised Musk’s support for a skilled worker visa programme popular with big tech, forcing the president elect to re-state his backing for his rocket ship-loving ally. At least Farage can play up his personal relationship with Trump, whatever Musk decides to do with his dollars.
Starmer is right to sidestep the mercurial tech billionaire’s lawless online sideshow. But Badenoch should be wary, for in the tantrum-heavy Musk Games there can be only one winner.
