Though the last few days has felt like mumsnet has become an outpost for the Musk fanclub. I suppose even if you've lost a 1/3rd of your wealth having money can buy you influence and enable you to circumvent democracy.

considering we let joe public that believe in conspaircy theories etc can we really then argue that letting elon be part of democracy is somehow worse ?

Greenland is an autonomous territory of Denmark. The Danes have not shown any interest on a change.

Greenland would NOT be better off as a US territory. There would be massive exploitation of resources with little investment in infrastructure or community. See Puerto Rico and The Marianas for example. Greenland would also likely be heavily militarized if it ever came under US control. On of the PR islands was used for bombing.

And then there's the question of indigenous rights in a territory under the pur iew of a Supreme Court that has gigantic corruption problems.

I don't get why people think Musk is a good business man. Inherited wealth.

It is concerning.

We knew that a Trump presidency likely meant the end of the US being willing to intervene in the defence of NATO allies. I dont think many seriously predicted threats of invasion by the US of NATO countries.

Denmark 'controls' Green land policy/ finances / security. There have been rumblings of green landers wanting independence of late due to the forced contraception in 1960/70s of Danes to its people and the separation from their parents of green land Children in the past ( also instigated by The Danish Govt )
Talks were cancelled between the PM of GL and the king of Denmark just this week.
It looks like GL want independence from Denmark sooner than later.
The capital NUUK is nearer NY than Copenhagen .
Trump is rocking the boat big time. Seeing as poverty in GL is at 16% Being in the USA might be attractive as daft as that sounds
