Elon Musk this week used his platform to project his support for the people in the UK and Germany.
Then, Mark Zuckerberg decided to end Meta's fact-checking and moderation, claiming these are all about censorship and against free speech.
Their moves are about money and power.

So, here’s to the start of what looks like will be an ‘interesting’ 2025.
Wether in politics, business or investment, now more than ever we need to be strategic and keep focused on the outcome.
Wishing everyone a very Happy New Year and 2025.

lost track of the number of journalists writing that farmers will get hit with IHT above a £1m threshold *for their entire estate*
ignoring the reality that it’s £1m of land per person on top of existing IHT threshold of up to £1m (£3m max)
feels like a major comms failure by government as well

A week after the US election, the Democrat's Star Power just didn't deliver.
Beyonce, Taylor Swift, and Harrison Ford - film and music royalty - didn't push the needle enough. But why not?
With cost of living being a key issue, swing voters wanted authenticity and relatability, not star power.
