Wow it’s almost like he wants to destabilize the western world! How peculiar. 🤔
He managed to buy the American presidency so why not aim for more?
At least he’s not smart about it and just yells it all in public. If he ever realizes he can do it quietly it’ll be an even bigger problem.
That’s the thing I don’t get. Trump got the presidency, he can just carry Elon aside like a burger wrapper
Are you under the impression that Trump actually has a lot of money? You don’t get rich by bankrupting businesses, and he’s done a lot of that.
He certainly doesn’t have enough to maintain the lifestyle that he’s grown to love.
He’s got bribes from all mayor tech companies willing to get in his favor. He doesn’t need any more money. He can order the mint to print him a stack.
He’s got immunity. He can litarally rob a bank and claim his presidential immunity. Hell he can kill Elon and steal his stuff LEGALLY
Concerning
!!
Musk’s entire job is to keep the media focused on him and his stupidity so that we aren’t paying attention to what his useful orange idiot is doing.
That is an excellent point. The only snag is that I feel they aren’t quite intelligent enough to think of that. Then again, maybe that’s what they want us to think…
My sanity isn’t ready for an reality where Elon fucking Musk is fucking shit up globally. Trump was bad enough, but this shit? This is what will eventually cause a global conflict against fucking fascists of all things.
We already did this shit once, are we really going to do it again?
Trump is dying. Putin is dying. Hopeful megalomaniacs are looking to fill the vacuum when the boomers pass on. Someone had to step up. Elon decides it’s his time
I agree, I just was naïve enough to think that maybe we had grown a little bit wiser. I was obviously wrong. So woefully wrong.
sounds like the old man didn’t learn his lesson the first time.
He most certainly did not.
Clearly the king should just ignore this nonsense …… and ban him from travelling there. Preferably the entire commonwealth. Wait. I’ll make popcorn
There was a time when King Charles tried to overturn parliament way back in the 1600s. I forget what happened next, but I’m pretty sure it was all very civil.
Unfortunately parliament didn’t finish the job, and another Charles came along. Now we’re up to a third Charles. I think parliament should have another go and get rid of these parasitic Charleses once and for all
Somehow Charles has returned.
Charles in charge
Get out of my head, Charles.
Shut the fuck up, Charles!
The number of Charles is TOO DAMN HIGH
Especially once you count Charles Entertainment Cheese into the total number of Charleses
Somehow I don’t the UK will Be Heading down that same route again.
Ahh yes but the second Charles was successful. Largely because Parliament was going after Catholics and people didn’t like living under an Inquisition. Then James fucked it all up and everyone decided just electing better leaders was the compromise.
Sounds like terrorism
When you’re rich it’s just called a suggestion not terrorism
musk getting guillotined is something i would like to watch in the near future :)
There’s still time for SpaceX to do the right thing and load him in the next starship launch next week
I say strap him to the outside before they launch instead of putting him inside, preferably against the heat shield.
It’s important to get empirical evidence of what happens if you strap a man to a rocket. Theoreticals are nice, but hard data is what makes science progress.
Just like the end of Gravity’s Rainbow.
Or the beginning of Planet Hulk.
Indeed, launch Leon’s ass to Mars. He can take Putin’s Sock Puppet with him and sell Tesla’s.
When I was younger, my sister teased and provoked me (I mean she still does but much less). Every time this happened, my parents told me to just ignore her. I think media should do the same when it comes to Elon Musk, since damn, everyone who doesn’t willingly choose ignorance already sees who he is. By this you are just giving him more exposure.
That’s not how it works—actually, that’s not how anything works. It’s not about doing the right thing; it’s all about what drives the most attention, clicks, or money.
There’s a reason every media outlet reports on every little thing the fat guy or this bozo does or says. There’s a reason you didn’t ignore this news and felt compelled to comment on it.
It’s the same reason 99% of these commenters have no idea who someone like Demis Hassabis is, was or will be: it doesn’t drive attention.
It’s hard to say what the responsible and ethical approach is for journalists given it is newsworthy that the richest man in the world (who is also extremely influential to the highest office of the most influential country of the world) is encouraging such an extreme and unexpected regime change, but also Musk, like Trump, puts out so much noise it’s hard to predict what will actually be policy they persue vs what is just noise
He’s not he-who-shall-not-be-named. Talking about him won’t make him more powerful.
But it does. His whole power is his ability to stir the conversation.
Yeah and he is pushing the neo nazi party before the German election.
Elon gets involved in things he doesn’t need to.
Thats one way to attract the attention of Mi6. He certainly fits the bond villain profile…
Except that Bond Villains are usually clever and invent something themselves. This dipshit is like the Bond Villain we have at home, from a rejected script that someone keeps failing to salvage.
You think Bond villains weren’t taking credit for their underlings inventions? What a high opinion you have of evil people.
This guy evils.
It’s not like Hank thought of the hammocks, but you know he took credit for the work it got him.
MI6, if you can read this, please do it.
He also fits into 5 black bin bags.
Oh please try Chuck. Please do. The one incontrovertible way to end the monarchy immediately would be if one of the inbred stands up and tries to exercise any real power.
It would be really cool seeing a monarch get guillotined in the 21st century
I’ll settle for a few billionaires, I guess…
The billionaires are japanese. And the yen billion isn’t much more than a slightly well off commoner.
The only billionaires in the UK are Japanese? Sure about that?
No, in Japan.
I think you missed the joke…despite the fact that I explained the joke as part of the core concept ofthe joke.
Apparently everyone missed your joke.
Right???
I’d much rather this happen to billionaires. They have actual power.
Why not both?
There’s actually a very good stage play about this exact subject.
The queen dissolved parliament a few years ago, and while she is dead now I don’t think her death was related
Parliament asked her to do it though. That’s a bit different. If a monarch tried to force the issue it would go very badly. It’s one of those technical power versus real power things.
A lot of troopies in the Commonwealth swore an oath on enlisting that then transfered to Charles. Charles has the biggest gang ever but Musk just wants to troll aus and canada more.
Keep up.
Okay but how serious do they take the exact wording? In the US they swear to the Constitution and take that very seriously. It’s why Trump will need to destroy the military if he wants to eventually use it as his personal force. Are the British soldiers willing to arrest or kill their elected leaders on the word of a monarch?
The one time the conservative vote got split and let the liberals into power without a majority of the vote (instead of the reverse) and he thinks it is an emergency and an injustice worthy of bringing back monarchy powers…
Just tough it out for 5 years like the rest of the world is going to do with Trump.
If you think the US will have fair elections again after 4 years then I have some very bad news for you concerning the integrity of Russia’s elections.
We could well be heading towards something interesting in the not very distant future.
I’m not sure if Musk sincerely believes his wealth makes him untouchable or if he’s too self-absorbed to even consider the matter, but it works out to the same thing either way - he’s likely wrong.
He can get away with a fair bit manipulating an emotionally stunted egomaniac like Trump, but when he starts trying to butt into European politics, he’s going to find himself running up against families that have been pulling political strings for centuries now, and who don’t fancy crude upstarts with nothing more than money going for them, and if he proves to be too much of a problem for them, they’re going to squash him like a bug.
I’ll believe it when I see it.
There likely needs to be a very public message sent out to these billionaires along the lines of “stay in your lane… or else.” The kind of incontrovertible message that everyone will understand when they see it. But it’s probable that they’ve already got a similar (albeit conflicting) message from some other… billionaires that specialize in that art whose name ends in “estration.”
.world simping for the aristocracy now?
I can’t say I’m surprised.
There’s a difference between acknowledging the existence and motivations of a group and cheering for them.
There sure is, too bad they’re on the wrong side of it.
