Rock Star Slams Musk’s Push To Oust Maduro #Shorts #Venezuela #Musician #RogerWaters #ElonMusk

Yet one more voice of reason to address what now appears to be a concerted regime change effort in Venezuela. Here’s rock musician Roger Waters telling Elon Musk to ‘calm down’ after the billionaire called for President Nicolas Maduro’s removal on X.

Maduro was declared the winner of Sunday's election with 51 one per cent of the vote, amid opposition claims of fraud. He's now called for the country’s Supreme Court to carry out an audit of the ballot and says electoral authorities will release detailed vote counts. However, that hasn’t quelled violence on the streets where armed gangs are fighting government troops. Maduro's described the unrest as ‘a criminal attempt to seize power.’ He's also blamed Musk for fanning rumours of election fraud.

Musk’s demand for the removal of a foreign leader isn’t new. In July 2020, the Tesla CEO said, ‘We will coup whoever we want’ in response to accusations the US government plotted to overthrow Bolivia’s Evo Morales to secure lithium reserves for Tesla.

This marriage between American oligarchs and the state goes back decades. Corporate interests led to wars in Iraq, Libya and Guatemala, where the CIA intervened in United Fruit Company’s favour and overthrew a democratically elected president.

Venezuela’s oil is nationalised and makes up the world's biggest reserves. Considering the importance of energy markets in propping up the dollar, one can understand why the US would be invested in a ‘friendly’ regime
