What is elon musk problem with Britain?

[Littlemissgobby]

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 .

I think you are a lot younger than me. Because it's not the first time in history, the farmers were protesting before. Now we've seen protests on the street under Thatcher. IM really sorry you are so young. Or don't understand politics, it's not new.

No I don’t, but sometimes in life when you spend time with people who are covering who they are and are largely thought of as decent people, you learn to pick up on cues, and I’m rarely wrong.

I have no idea, but I still cannot bring myself to trust him. I voted Labour all my life up until now. I wish I liked and trusted him.

In 5 years time let’s hope he’s turned things around and proved my instincts wrong, and I will happily hold my hands up and accept that my current instincts are off.

Is £7billion not lots as well or am I missing the number that classes as ‘lots’

Is that because you are on the left? And you don't see him left enough because that really annoyed me with so many people that said they would vote, labour, look at what's happened in America because of Democrats doing that it allowed Republican party to get in. It's alright, having principles. But then really, you need to realise that your principles either that or the other side, which is even darker.
Or are you one of them that says this stuff and really voted reform? Because I can't see how that can even b the same as voting labour.
No I don't think he's perfect at all.But I tell you what I don't want the other side

As pp said, farmers have organised and protested before.

Eta: as an exame, a debate in Parliament discussing militant farmers:

hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/1970-01-27/debates/d5c58c9e-a380-4d59-b222-d7cd640dacc1/Agriculture(South-WestEngland)

Quell suroruse it's not charity it's self serving omfg are you kidding me.
He can't even fucking give to charity properly
Elon Musk's charity is The Musk Foundation, which he owns and funds. The foundation's goals include: renewable energy research and advocacy, human space exploration research and advocacy, pediatric research, science and engineering education, and development of safe artificial intelligence.
Musk has donated billions of dollars to the foundation, including: $1.95 billion worth of Tesla shares in 2022, $5.74 billion in 2021, and Nearly $6 billion in 2022.
However, some say that the foundation's giving has been self-serving and lacks focus:
Much of the donated money has gone to employees, businesses, and projects that Musk is personally associated with.
The foundation donated less than half of what it needed to qualify for a tax break in 2022.
A New York Times analysis found that about half of the donations in 2021 and 2022 had some link to Musk, one of his employees, or one of his businesses.

I didn't mean you, you stated that it was to get back on the topic, when we never left the topic. It seems it is fine on here to want to kill people that you don't like but if Elon Musk blocks people he doesn't want to see any more that is bad.

Even though he just removed the block facility so the OP even gets that wrong.

@PandoraSox have u seen the false charity elon gives to fucking laughable talk about self interest

Did he block people? Yes, has he removed that function? Yes, as he removed it from himself who knows so I'm not wrong and I have not advocated killing anybody right now. What I was talking about was the French revolution and I don't believe you're b*** Rhetoric that you were related to somebody from that time You're obviously arguing in bad faith, so we'll call it a day

I only ever report spam on here, even though people report me for literally quoting USA government policies as I prefer people to read the batshit but this thread is a work of genius about how utterly [redacted] the left have become.

I can see how you might think that this is 'huge' if you spend time on twitter because there are loads of accounts on there right now saying 'this is huge' 'this is unprecedented' and concluding with 'Starmer is finished'.

But it's not huge or unprecedented. And those posters have an agenda which is to try to 'finish' Starmer. They're stating what they want to happen as fact.

What are you going to report? This is a perfectly acceptable debate. What are you going to report? You are reporting what that you don't like.My opinions, but apparently that's not what your side does

As pp said, farmers have organised and protested before.

There is a fair amount of handwaving if it's other people impacted, so far pensioners, businesses, farmers and students, but the economic indicators don't look good for Labour and progresses to more difficult decisions.

Public sector relies on spending not that heavy borrowing after all.

Do I care what you think? You are a perfect example of the current left wing so keep it up.

Oh yes, I'm typing from a rural village in FRANCE where I live.

I'm not reporting you. You can't even understand a simple sentence.

I prefer to let your 'debate' stand.

Keep what's up fighting for justice for people? Yeah, I think it's important that we all have equality, not just some people at the top. What's wrong with that? And what you're talking about a prime example of the left, what people who care you don't know nothing about me. I mean, I could say, well, maybe she lives in France, probably a second home. Probably is a bit selfish and doesn't want to share the wealth around the country, but then I would probably be wrong, wouldn't I
May I also reminded you were talking about reporting this post

I lived and worked in HK for four years, so there is no need to lecture me on conditions for many who live and work there - mainly Philippinos and poor mainland Chinese - ditto with Dubai and Bengalis/Pakistanis etc. Ditto with large swathes of the world.

I repeat, the world is not fair - no amount of social engineering will change that.

You appear to like documentaries - so perhaps you are familiar with the brutality of the Serengeti, or Kruger.

Why? I mean his Dad was piping up on a radio show the other day.
His Dad, FFS.
What the fuck has his dad or Elon for that matter got to do with British politics?!
The OP has a point.

That's good that you can just sit there and go. Well. The world is not fair. I lived in Hong Kong. Don't tell me about it and then you try to justify it because what they're poor people, so it's okay, it's not okay that's the difference between somebody like me and somebody like you

Ohhhh is that why? That makes sense if so!
Do you have a link please?

And how do you know that no social engineering would help? How do you know if hong kong didn't tax the rich more to spread the wealth and build better housing for these poor people?How do you know that wouldn't help

I just went to wikipedia to read about his dad.

"In the early 1990s, Errol, then aged 45, married Heide Bezuidenhout, a 25-year old he described as "one of the best looking women I’ve ever seen in my life".[21] They had two children.[22] Jana Bezuidenhout, who later became his romantic partner, was his stepdaughter from that marriage, four years old at the time Errol became her stepfather."

er, what?

I watched him he was saying about four star accomodation and immigrants in the uk and that you shouldn't visit England now. Not understanding that them hotels will not be 4 star with immigrants they won't be getting same treatment as we would

I’m not young.
The strength of feeling amongst farmers now is more united than they’ve been, that’s what I mean. I live in a rural area, a real
farming community, and I’ve never seen this pulling together before.

I know there have been previous protests, I know people who went to the countryside alliance March over 20 years ago, which brought together rural communities, but this is different.
The protest 20 years ago was largely about rural life, the neglect from urban government, the lack of care around the decimation of rural communities with things like foot and mouth. It wasn’t mainly limited to farmers and the majority turnout was other people connected to rural life.

This is farmers, known for grumbling and getting on with it. Getting together like this is big.
