Fuck OFF Elon Musk

Elon Musk appeared via video link today at Tommy Robinson's Racist March wittering on about woke mind viruses and calling for the dissolution of parliament.

All I really want to say is FUCK OFF ELON MUSK.

If you read it online, you need to find it again and give us a source if you want us to believe it.

Yep. The playbook is still in use - repeat something over and over and over and over again, backed up by your friends on the thread - and then claim that therefore is must be true.

I agree with the gaslighting but what is their purpose?
Their must be a reason to try and belittle a massive peoples march?

Friends and relatives of the British government, maybe?
What else could it possibly be?

But the march supporters are doing plenty of gaslighting themselves by claiming huge numbers, suggesting more people are supportive of Yaxley-Lennon, suggesting none of the marchers are racist, that those who don't support the march are against free speech and for unfettered immigration.

That those of us who read MSM are sheep and being lied to (at least MSM are covered by press regs, which keyboard warriors on SM don't have to think about).

There seems to be, from various FB accounts I've seen, a correlation between supporters of the march, climate change denial, vaccine refusal. Going diametrically against experts with years of experience and study in vaccine medecine and climate science to take their truth from, well, who? Someone drunk in charge of a keyboard. We're already seeing the growth in easily preventable disease due to vaccine scepticism. Education is becoming increasingly undervalued along with critical thinking.

Don't get me wrong, the BBC, Guardian, Times etcaren't perfect, but at least have SOME transparency, and due diligence and a responsibility towards their consumers, which the purveyors of 'news' on SM do not have.

It's called projection. Accusing others of the things they're saying or doing themselves.

Yes, I’m aware of projection. Wouldn’t make sense with racism though, would it? And you didn’t say projection anyway. You said there was ‘a saying’. Words matter. Robinson is a racist. Anyone choosing to march with him is at the very, very least, ok with encouraging racists.

Show us how 1,000,000 people got across Westminster Bridge in less than 5 hours.

Show me how the streets are jam packed full like that when people are waiting to enter or leave Wembley stadium, which holds 90,000 people. If there's only around a couple of hundred thousand people in those streets, why doesn't it look similar to that when there's a major football match on there, or a concert?

I tried asking Grok AI and it initially said that 16 counter protesters were arrested, but then changed it's mind.

You first reply includes that statement?

You're right, my initial response included the claim that

@Nagginthenag the endless repetition of 'the MSM' is just today's version of the 'Lugenpresse' narrative from the days of you know when.

There's nothing new under the sun, only the delivery method is different.

It does. Have you never seen crowds in Wembley after a match?
How would your numbers got over t bridge in less than 5hours?

Well yes. I'd like some of the posters who wouldn't dream of using MSM for their news, it being so corrupt and the like, to give some examples of where they obtain their info so we can all be so enlightened.

TooBigForMyBoots · 15/09/2025 17:37

These are the kind of people we are fighting against. They do not care about other people, only themselves.They are self serving narcissists.

Are you talking about Tommy, Takes Cocaine Lives in Spain, Robinson and thon drug addled megalomaniac, Elon Musk @Petitchat?

There's a saying that those who call everyone else racists, are actually the racists themselves.

There really isn't.

On a brighter note, at least those marching over the weekend have not:

  1. Been proscribed as a Terrorist Group, like Palestine Action.
  2. Sought to obstruct justice/the police (using force of numbers so the police are unable to arrest all of them etc).
  3. Broken into a military base and vandalised aircraft.
  4. Suffered 1,601 arrests to date, and counting.

Credit, therefore to the 110,000+ people who attended the weekend’s “Unite the Kingdom”!

I know one of them. He was a Combat18 member who's been convicted of Directing Terrorism.

Interesting to note that, after nearly 1.5k votes on the op’s poll,

85% of us still think Musk should fuck off.

I am not convinced that the poll would give Musk even one sleepless night.

Call it a hunch, but I am confident that the majority of the 85% voted Labour in the last GE, and have never owned a Tesla, or Starlink.

Hardly a loss for Musk is it?

FelicitysSweetOrchard · 15/09/2025 17:42

How was it a racist march? He's put out a billion videos talking about how we likes Sikhs and Jews and shown off is black friends and hired Haka performers and black gospel singers and will pop off at any English person who says they don't want loads of Hindus living here or whatever. There clearly wasn't one million people. I don't think most British have it in them to stop Britain from turning into America and will stay mute but move to the countryside and then at some point move to continental Europe

It was advertised with a photo containing the coded message 'Heil Hitler'

88 means 'Heil Hitler'

Someone mentioned Combat 18: 18 means Adolf Hitler. It's about the position of the letters of the alphabet

Tommy Robinson would definitely know these and the picture is a deliberate dogwhistle.

Talking of Heil Hitler, of course Elon Musk has his own history of messaging there.

People don’t all come to an event at the same time. And yes, it really does look similar. I used to regularly attend events at a venue holding 100,000 people so I have a sense of this.

Our eyes can deceive us.

The calculations we did upthread are transparent and can be checked by anyone. Those numbers don’t lie. Get 1,000,000 people across Westminster bridge on foot in less than five hours and show us how..

(Even five hours is not realistic because ee’ve assume people are packed in twice as tightly as soldiers. Also we have assumed the people themselves take up no space, to simplify matters. These assumptions shorten the crossing time, favouring your perspective)

That’s Ant Middleton - ex Royal Marines, Paras, and the SBS.

I would be inclined to thank him for his service, if I were you.

Is your contention that someone who has been in the forces couldn’t be racist?

Ridiculous.
Not everyone conservative/right wing is Nazi! He is a self-proclaimed Zionist, so no way is he also a Nazi. Everything is so topsy-turvy I think I'm going to have to get off social media! Even Baddiel who I thought had more sense called the killer of Charlie Kirk right-wing when he's clearly an Antifa. I hope Nazis don't come back (for obvious reasons) but also because it's like the boy who cried wolf no one will believe it because everyone from Putin to JK Rowling has been called one

Is there really? Can't say I've ever heard it in my 57 years of life.

no there isnt, some people on mumsnet (not this thread) use it when being called out for actual racism

it was all over the H&M t shirt thread years ago

plus it would be the stupidest saying ever

I'm still waiting for the apology for the nasty ageist comment.

As you well know, the insult was ageism and had nothing to do with my parents emigrating.

How is @MrsSkylerWhite saying she’s getting older ageism?

If you can’t apologise for your own mistakes, I think you need to look closer to home why the state of the country is as it is.

That’s a very American thing to do, isn’t it?

Middleton was convicted of the unlawful wounding of a male police officer and the common assault of a female police officer in a nightclub in Chelmsford, Essex in 2013 the following year after leaving the Special Boat Service. He described the incident as being "alcohol-fuelled" and went on to state "Once I realised what I’d done, I thought, "Oh my God"". He gave himself up to the police after a short initial search. He was sentenced to 14 months in prison, of which he served four months.[30][31][32][33]
In March 2025, the Insolvency Serviceannounced that Middleton and his wife had been banned from becoming a director of a company for four years following the failure of his company to pay over £1 million in tax.[34][35] The UK Insolvency Service said £385,000 in VATand £869,000 in corporation tax was owed on £4.5 million in income which flowed into the company between 2019 and 2022.[35]
