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 have to agree, he is a genius. Just not in a way we like to think of a genius.

And yes he's also a hypocrite, charlatan and a wanker... I can't stand that guy!

So the British are allowed to chat shit about Trump, Biden, Putin etc but no one is allowed to do the same about our government? I couldn't care less what others think which is probably what Americans think of the British spouting their views on the American election and policies.

Agreed. I don't think we're flavour of the month with Americans, they take free speech very seriously. They really couldn't understand how you could end up in prison for remarks on social media, when they made room in the prisons by turfing out paedophilic people, rapist's and more dangerous criminals.

The UK didn't invite him to our investment conference in October and he took offence. The man is a walking ego, and he doesn't like that most Brits think he's an arrogant prat.

I'm sure he'll get over it.

It's not Britain he doesn't like. It's Labour and everything they stand for.

He’s gonna have to pipe down if America wants us to be on their side

I’m not really sure the US notices whether we’re on their side or not tbh. They care far less about us than we care about them.

He's right. Our government is a disgrace and turning the country into a veritable dystopia. Starmer is turning the UK into an international embarrassment.

America is even worse though.

I wondered the same thing - why does Elon care?

Loads of British politicians and journalists were calling him two tier Keir. This isn't misinformation, it's a valid opinion.

He's like an embarrassing relative on Facebook who reposts all sorts of shite, except he's the bloody owner.

UK life is on the down elevator just now.

It will be interesting to see what happens in the USA.

Does he remind anyone else of Father Dougal McGuire?

Not all of the time. But some of the faces he makes.

It’s something about his mouth and chin. I can’t unsee it.

That image is pure Bond villain.

I dont know. But he comments a lot on our lack of free speech.

He also seems to have decided the EU isn't great now.

He's a missed haircut away from becoming Syndrome in the Incredibles.

People are free to critique foreign governments... You say "my gov" as if we're expected to be absolutely loyal to our current administration and not tolerate criticism of our head of state. We live in a democracy. America is also a democracy. Have you heard how Brits talk about Trump? Should they not be allowed to criticise American leaders either?

He's a very peculiar unit.

Remember when he called the English hero who saved the Thai football team a 'paedo' ...

He's weird and dangerous

He's gone from weirdo edgelord to russian stooge since election season started in the US.

I don't think he actually believes the batshit conspiracies he retweets on twitter. Spreading misinformation is his aim.

Nevermind the fact that he is CEO of six companies and co-head of a newly invented government department, all while tweeting up to 200 times a day - proving that those positions are no work at all.

He keeps lying about going to mars and creating cities there etc too.

He's a fraud, basically.

@Littlemissgobby what does 'Hereford influencing folks' mean?

AI declared Musk the biggest pusher of misinformation on his own platform.

That's some kind of genius all right.

Seriously, is he mentally ill, on drugs, just a sad arse who spends too much time on the internet or what?

Nope, he's an idiot.

Geniuses don't lie to get idiots elected when there's so much at stake.

Evil geniuses might
