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

Did Labour activists call for the murder of US politicians....? must have missed that bit...

Plus it was Labour activists in their own time, it wasn't official.

Not that facts matter to some people.

No doubt the real reason Trudeau resigned yesterday is because he doesn’t want to get annihilated by the populist movement.

Populism is now in motion. Look back to how this plays out. Unless we have a Government that dampens this down it will only rise. Musk, Trump, Farage and others across Europe are in full swing. It will take an alternative to Musk et al to stop this...oh wait we had Biden, Macron and now we have Starmer( fuel to the fire IMO) to sort this. Boris did try to sppeal to masses but he wasn't strong enough. I think he did have an understanding of the wider implications of Populism.

Musk “stating an opinion” is the same as campaigning and a call to arms.

There is absolutely no way on earth multi billionaire Musk is a bastion of morality. So he's not doing this out of a sense of decency. There's something else at play and as it has been power at the root of plays like this since the dawn of time, it'll be power this time. He's just a different model of power hungry.

Labour really can’t complain about foreigners stating their opinions when they went over to the States to campaign for Kamala.

Their authoritarian ’rules for thee, but not for me’ mindset.

The hypocrisy is staggering.

As is the hypocrisy from all the posters on here, after the thousands of threads we’ve had here commenting on Trump

Musk is a foreigner.
Musk doesn’t care about British girls.
Musk has a political agenda.

Whose is it

Like i said earlier, there are some deranged people who will cheer should another MP be murdered.

What action should they threaten?

What’s your point? What is anyone going to do about it. Pound the keyboard with some manufactured rage

There is absolutely nothing anyone in this country can do about it. The government got dragged through a hedge for a few days and came to parliament yesterday to make a statement. The guy humiliated Starmer publicly and forced parliament to discuss it and Home secretary to make some word salad speech.

There you go, that’s all the power we have.

Pretty much this.

The UK thinks it can just go around and dictate morality to the world when it cannot even protect its most vulnerable girls from violent rape gangs.

I’m going to keep saying this: the UK is more aggressively attacking so-called racists than rapists. What are we to think about such morality?

Best thing everyone can do is come off X.

Why? Are we bowing down to him now? Is he in charge of the Uk now he has money. Not his circus.

He isn't just "raising the issue" he calling for the democratically elected govt to be overthrown, for Phillips and Starmer to be thrown in jail, without trial and is allowing his platform to incite the murder of UK politicians, inc our PM.

You all with that are you?

Interesting,isn't it.

It’s not his circus!

I'm not sure how he is wrong for raising such a important issue

I also think Elon is getting a lot wrong here.

But “it’s wrong to criticise other countries’ affairs” is not the right principle. Either as a private citizen or as a government figure. That’s the refrain of nationalists and authoritarian governments the world over.

This.

The issue is that people just heard about "grooming gangs" and say to each other "oh that's terrible isn't it".

They act like these gangs are the equivalent of a seedy Uncle or the pervy gym teacher, just on a large scale.

Not enough people have spent the time to read the details about what those girls actually suffered. These are torture and rape gangs.

There HAS been a cover up. This WAS allowed to continue despite a few brave souls trying to speak out. We DO have an issue with our government and police not knowing how to deal with crimes done by certain ethnic groups and religions.

Something needs to change and instead of being so worried about Musk, as women we should be demanding answers of our government and demanding action is taken.
What was done to those girls was the equivalent of murder in my opinion. The life they could and should have had was ended and that kind of trauma will change them forever.

Well, there seems to be more threads on Elon Musk than our glorious NHS announcement yesterday.

I don’t think he’s dangerous. His views may not be popular but he’s made them well known, he uses his platform to get his thoughts far and wide, at least we know in real time what his ideas , views and intentions are so if he is a threat he’s not exactly secretive ! He’s calling out a cover up of abuse in this case and rightly so. Sometimes may be wrong but but in this situation about the subject he’s right. He does seem to have a strong sense of justice over it.

You can’t seriously think we should sanction the us. I mean cmon, the effect on our economy would be enormous, never mind the impact on international relations , national security etc. it literally would be insane.

to be honest, im rather amused by it, poor beleaguered starmer, his first few months have been appalling, with the worst budget in decades taking our economy down, him and his mps on the take, and now musk calling him out on it.

apparentlh he said he’s finding being pm stressful. I bet. But he made promises, he broke them, immediately, so what if he gets called out on it.

Absolutely. Those who seek to make us look anywhere else are complicit
