To think that Musk is now overstepping himself and the UK gvt should threaten action

What, the Simon Danczuk who falsely claimed over £11k in residency allowances for children who didn’t actually live with him, paid it back when discovered and was lucky to escape prosecution for fraud? The same Simon Danczuk who sent explicit sexual messages to a 17-year-old girl working in his office?

But even if what he said was true, that doesn’t change the fact that Elon Musk should mind his own business and not try to encourage the overthrow of the democratically elected government of another country, or call any of that country's elected politicians vile and completely unjustified names.

The sad thing is, so much time wasted all round on this absolute bullshit, and treating people with utter contempt.

"Don’t be so silly. Your hyperbole makes you look ridiculous. The evil that is threatening to prevail is Musk."

If it is silly or ridiculous how do explain former Rochdale Labour MP Simon Danczuk claim that senior Labour figures prioritised electoral concerns over justice for victims.

Danczuk claims former Labour Party chairman Tony Lloyd, warned him against focusing on the predominantly Pakistani Muslim identity of those convicted in the Rochdale grooming scandal. According to Danczuk, Lloyd feared that such discussions would alienate voters, particularly in constituencies with significant South Asian communities.

The issue isn't Musk interfering as much as encouraging people to think...These days Thinking independently is a superpower LOL 😀

Someone was talking earlier about banning his viewpoint being heard. That was what I was arguing against

Don’t be so silly. Your hyperbole makes you look ridiculous. The evil that is threatening to prevail is Musk.

Musk (with whom you are apparently so matey that you are on first name terms) is a megalomaniac. He thinks his immense wealth means he should get the ultimate say in what happens in every other country in the world, whether or not it is a democracy. I would have thought there are enough obvious injustices for him to focus on in his own country.

Has she got rid of all the 'rape apologist' ones?

Of course she has. 🙄

'I do not consent' on X search Jess Phillips tweets - I think she has got rid of most already

Jess Phillips also doesn't have the reach that Elon Musk has, or can apply an algorithm

Can you link some of these please.
Great user name by the way.

Unlikely. She hasn’t posted on X at all for a couple of weeks and everything prior to that was pretty unremarkable.

Sorry I discussed him, which I agree is counter productive. Off to delete X and download Bluesky!

Yes I'm going to have words with my neighbour who was contemplating a Tesla.
It's so weird Musk's own ( adopted) country is on fire- so there's a very serious crisis at home. Yet his recent tweets seem to disproportionately prioritise the Labour Party over here. Why obsess over a little country (that's much less of a big player than it was) which is tens of thousands of miles away? If I was American I'd lose respect for him for his wandering focus on domestic affairs.

It's weird. Why are we so interesting to Musk and Trump for that matter?. All I can think is that because they both have British grandparents they've got some weird family legacy type regrets that their empires weren't originally built here. It's weird- both are extremely powerful and successful in the US and internationally so look forwards and stop obsessing disproportionately over us, stop looking backwards and leave us alone!

Has any of Jess Phillips' tweets endangered another politician, British or otherwise?

I thought they were fake at first but apparently not!!

Really? Got any examples?

Have you seen some of Jess Phillips tweets - goodness gracious makes Musks pretty insignificant

Telling German voters to back the AfD* and now parroting White Genocide theory.

- * Dilemma if you are a fascist. You are meant to despise billionaires as part of the Global Elite but now one is promising to lavish you with his billions. Do you take the money and abandon your dearly held beliefs? Would you have rolled over so eagerly if that was George Soros or Bill Gates offering you that money? Are you actually being bought?

Bombastix - apology accepted

You could easily imagine Musk as a sort of American Ilya Prigogine. Oligarchs with their own armies , warlords who think democracy is an obstacle to their greatness. Oh what wonders could they achieve , if they weren't impeded by tiresome mediocrities like us!
Anyway what's the point of elections. Zuckerberg has already said that ' I don't think governments are the way forward '. I expect the other Oligarchs agree. Although it may be all they do agree on.

Not over Musk, agree but if Trump attacks Greenland, then we will have to consider this, the USA is a massive exporter of services, its not all one way.

He needs income stream, which Tesla gives him, he has his Space X program for starters.

X should be banned, as the Brazilians did when he interfered in their Govt, he very quickly backed down, we need to do similar, in conjunction with the EU.

Or die from a massive Ket o.d.

SANCTIONING THE US?! Are you nuts - that would absolute finish us off. Musk is extreme for sure - not buying Teslas, is not going to hurt the man, he has SO much money. Im not sure much can be done about Musk - i think eventually he will just simmer down,
