Why the fuck is he attacking our gov decisions like inheritance tax on farms? He seems obsessed with Britain ever since the riots . Also can you imagine if sir Allan sugar was posting stuff about American gov policy like Elon musk is.
All because he’s been summoned about disinformation on X That led to the riots.
is he just a right wing twat? He’s gonna have to pipe down if America wants us to be on their side if I was labour I would be getting so annoyed .
side note I sit left centre but Peter Mandelson licking boots of Elon and trump is a piss take.
maybe we are going to have to move closer to Europe as America is unhinged by the sounds of Elon .

Yes, he has responded to the ridiculous notion that his 'misinformation' sparked the riots. It's called 'Sarcasm'.

I remember him saying kier was two tier kier no evidence that police was handling it differen5 I remember what Elon was saying plus he has allowed to much disinformation on X. Plus look at recent USA election he changed algorithms so trump stuff go widely spread about Kamala stuff no where near as much. Hereford influencing folks

Ok you’ve overplayed your hand now. Totally busted!!

noblegiraffe · 21/11/2024 17:27

He’s posting a lot of batshit conspiracy stuff, and retweeting obvious fake accounts so it is unfortunate that he has such a large platform.

Starmer has threatened to go after Twitter over censorship laws.

Yes all he wants is to summon Elon. But before all that Elon was doing this he called kier two tier kier over riots obv now because he’s so far to the right it’s unreal but Elon has spread loads of misinformation tho

Unlike much of America, which sees him as some sort of genius, Britain knows he's an idiot and he knows we do.

Honestly I’m not sure america needs the Uk much, probably the other way round really. I don’t care much for Musk at all but he’s allowed to say whatever he wants about the UK, I talk shit about the American government quite a bit, I think thats fine.

I love how someone having a different opinion is now just classed as misinformation, because you don’t like the information provided 😂

At least there’s no censoring on X, you’re free to share your opinion and find your own echo chamber if that’s what you want.

It just a diff opinion it’s proven misinformation it’s also been proven that he pushed trumps agenda over Kamala so free speech is only free in one direction

He has been community noted on his own platform.

It’s not ‘difference of opinion’ to spread bullshit.

I am fine with diff opinions but actively spreading lies is another thing even his own tweets got community notes

Yes there was a right wing journalist that stated yesterday somebody put it on blue sky that they don’t like the fact that the liberals have left Twitter because who are they going to attack? That’s right they don’t give a shit about the right information. They don’t even give a shit about proper facts. All they give a shit about is owning the liberals that is the mentality of these people that like Elon Musk and Trump.

Why do you mind? Don't read what he says if you don't like it. He's as mad as a cheese.

Blueblell · 21/11/2024 18:16

He thinks the UK has gone a bit soviet and no longer has free speech.

He is great. He says it as it is.

He is definitely some sort of genius, there's not much point in denying that! He is also a wanker, but probably not an idiot.

Well he is a genius.

Common sense is what he is lacking in.
