To think Elon Musk has gone nuts

What on earth is going on with him. Calling for Nagel Farage to resign. Now wanting the PM to resign amd said we have a tyrannical government. It's all a bit odd.

He’s been nuts for a really long time. Perfect embodiment of that saying about absolute power. He’s corrupted and batshit.

Lambington · 06/01/2025 18:22

He's always been like this. It was just easier for him to hide it before he bought twitter to use as his personal blog and became a serving member of the incoming US government.

CamelsForChristmas · 06/01/2025 18:23

Yes he has always (IMO) been completely off his rocker.

justasking111 · 06/01/2025 18:24

I've only just caught up with the headlines. Absolutely nuts. Trumps team need to distance their potus now.

SlugsWon · 06/01/2025 18:25

Yanbu. Right wing colonialist nut job wanker.

yorktown · 06/01/2025 18:26

He's so bad I actually feel that Trump would do better without him.

SuzieNine · 06/01/2025 18:26

Well, he’s gone one step further and has started a poll on X asking if the US should liberate the UK from its tyrannical government. Just like the US has done to so many other countries.

CherryVanillaPie · 06/01/2025 18:27

He seems very unwell. Some sort of secure residential care would be appropriate.

Uricon2 · 06/01/2025 18:27

Ketamine, I believe.

He and Trump are two for a good pair and I have managed to find a scintilla of respect for Farage for not going along with his "Tommy Ten Names Is Innocent" narrative (it won't last)

AffIt · 06/01/2025 18:27

He's always been a fucking moon howler, although I don't think the copious amounts of ketamine (allegedly) help.

Meadowfinch · 06/01/2025 18:28

Who cares?

He's just a ghastly ill-mannered American who will find that while Brits may dislike one another and the different political parties at home, they dislike an American who thinks he can poke his nose into British business, far more.

Musk's ego is still smarting from not being invited to the UK investment conference in October.

He'll get over it....or not 😂

BlockPattern · 06/01/2025 18:28

Musk is nuts, but the UK government are shit.

For sure.

I never thought Nige and I would find common ground, but here we are.

What a time to be alive.

SnapdragonToadflax · 06/01/2025 18:29

Yes, he's completely insane. Too much money, too much power, no-one around him who will tell the truth. I don't understand why anyone thinks he's worth listening to.

I suspect he's on some kind of drugs binge at the moment.

SquirrelSoShiny · 06/01/2025 18:29

I think his response to Keir Starner today was inflammatory, a huge overreach and possibly libellous. He's making a fool of himself now. He's buying into his own mythology now and that is always a dangerous place to be.

He had the potential to keep doing some good but he just looked completely unhinged today. It will be fascinating watching the two stupendous egos (his and Trump) battling for supremacy. If he wasn't born outside the USA I think a balcony fall would be in his future.

MidnightPatrol · 06/01/2025 18:29

He’s got a bee in his bonnet certainly.

Given he’s part of the new US administration, saying things like ‘Starmer should be in prison’ seems… unwise?

Twitter is mental since he took over. Racism, conspiracy theories, sexism, misogyny - if that’s his source of info, he’s created his own mad right wing echo chamber.

MermaidEyes · 06/01/2025 18:31

It's bloody funny when he forgets he's not posting from his burner account 😂

soupfiend · 06/01/2025 18:31

Im a bit behind, whats he said or done

And whats the stuff about ketamine?

CherryVanillaPie · 06/01/2025 18:31

The German Chancellor is right that we shouldn't feed the troll.

ElizabethTaylorsEyebrow · 06/01/2025 18:31

He’s just more visible these days. But this has always been his personality.

He is clearly extremely erratic, narcissistic, power-hungry, arrogant, attention-seeking and impulsive by nature. But I can only imagine his unique position in the world exacerbates all these traits enormously.

True

OnlyDespairRemains · 06/01/2025 18:31

It says something when Trump won’t be the worst person in the upcoming US administration.

BiggerBoat1 · 06/01/2025 18:32

Surely he’s always been nuts.

Ditto Donald Trump.

Nigel Farage is just a proper wrong’un. Total moral vacuum.

lobsterkiller · 06/01/2025 18:32

He's prescribed ketamine, ragging about how much he can tolerate. Tthat's going to have an impact at some point mentally and physically.

Oh and add thin-skinned to this list. He could give Trump a run for his money in that department.
