I haven't figured out if she's an ultimate fangirl or a freelance PR person working for a Musk publicist.

I'm going with ultimate fangirl. Also known as Karen Pease, the breadcrumbs suggest she fled the States to live in Iceland after her EV-related startup cratered, and is now relying on governmental largess to make ends meet. Debates with Elon about settling on Venus. They basically seem like two peas in a pod (except she's a bit rough around the edges and clearly hasn't mastered the charismatic personality that convinces people to shovel more and more billions into the latest and greatest soon-to-be-failed enterprise).

A member of Australia's parliament tweeted a screenshot: https://twitter.com/TimWattsMP...

Heh, Bernie is actually pretty popular here. (Yes, we do follow US politics :) ).

Lol, you really think that this guy qualifies as a viking? A guy who once left in the middle of a parliamentary session while answering questions because he had a craving for chocolate cake?

Indeed. Here's the last thing that the Icelandic supreme court made the news for. :P

What makes it so ridiculous is that it's Goldfinger and Strawberries who are the ones who should have been slapped down by the court, not journalists reporting on them. They're so blatantly circumventing the law. Basically, strip clubs were made illegal in Iceland (to try to prevent trafficking and exploitation, not for moral reasons), so they reclassified themselves as bars and simply had the girls come in and work on their own without any legal connection between the two. So they're still strip clubs, just not legally.

Maybe, maybe not...
