World's first trillionaire to be evil

THE world is delighted to learn that its first ever trillionaire will be a demented white supremacist ideologue with a burning desire to overthrow governments. 

Today’s SpaceX floatation means Elon Musk’s personal wealth will be greater than that of Taiwan and also he controls space, can take over your car whenever he wants and hates you.

Market analyst Julian Cook said: “Picture a Bond villain, but in a straight-to-streaming Statham vehicle where nobody’s bothered to make the script realistic.

“Ideally a man with the funds to topple nations wouldn’t want to do so, but that isn’t the world we live in. Instead we live in the world where that man’s up all night on shrooms and ket liking X posts by frothing bigots on sink estates. It’s not ideal.

“The rest of the tech bastards – Larry Page, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, etcetera – are merely happy to facilitate evil if it makes them money. Unfortunately Musk’s as rich as any three of them and is actively pushing for a global fascist takeover.

“Still, I’m sure between his hundreds of clone children, his evil porn-obsessed AI, his fleet of drone vehicles, his communications network of slavering acolytes and his satellites that control your internet, this will all work out fine.”

Musk said: “There’s a little social experiment I’d like to run in Britain called National Socialism 2.0. Any objections? Then you go on the list.”

Wow. And just when I thought my job was safe

TWO resignations? Government destabilised again? My authority threatened? Stunned. And just when I was thinking I was in this for the long haul.

Yesterday morning, for the first time in a long time, there wasn’t a cloud on the horizon for the old Starmer premiership. Three by-elections next week and we could win all of them. Mandelson files a damp squib. War in Iran, according to Trump, all but wrapped up.

Then this! Out of a clear blue sky. Sure, the Army complained my promise to raise defence spending was a 0.08 per cent increase in real terms but I’d also kept them out of a war, so for me that balanced out.

Without warning, we were down a defence minister. Then, shortly after doing the rounds on TV saying he wouldn’t resign, the armed forces minister went. I couldn’t have been more shocked. We had an armed forces minister?

Now all the newspapers are saying I’m doomed again, when they haven’t said that for at least four weeks so I assumed it had all blown over. All the other parties are calling for me to resign again when I never say that about them, not even Kemi.

Then I remembered the candidate in one of those by-elections – not sure which one, the media treats Makerfield, Aberdeen South and Arbroath and Broughty Ferry entirely equally – is Andy Burnham. And I’m pretty sure he said something about wanting my job.

So once again, we’ve gone from everything looking good and me feeling chipper to doom and disaster, just because of some minor budgetary, obligation-to-NATO, crucial-to-the-nation’s-defence nonsense. Bloody hell.

Why does this always have to happen to me? Is it something I’m doing?
