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

Yeah but he takes Ketamine as he has MH issues. He has mentioned dealing with depression and has used ketamine to treat it. He has also discussed experiencing "demons of the mind" and existential crises. Additionally, Musk revealed he is on the Autistic Spectrum. His openness about these issues has sparked conversations about mental health in the tech industry which is good but his alliance with Trump really worries me.

Nobody mentioned him saving us - simply that he’s bringing things properly into the open. Using free speech.
It will hopefully make people do their own research.

People who say "I'll do my own research thanks" are often incapable of doing their own research, because critical thinking seems to be a vanishing skill. And therefore you get kids who are not inoculated against measles. Because their parents are such brilliant researchers.

Think you may be fast asleep.

Have a little read about Elon’s personal and business relationships with Epstein, Maxwell and P Diddy. Then take a little look about what the Republican Party (the one that he endorsed so heavily) wants to do to women’s rights.

Women’s rights?

You can be intelligent and mad. You can be intelligent, autistic and mad too. Losing touch with reality, hubris, aggressive outbursts, runaway ego and capricious switching of preferential treatment are classic behaviour when people have too much money and power.

I get the feeling that Almn0etd is neither British or female.

Bizarrely, this seems to be a response handed out on every thread these days, I’ve had it thrown at me several times recently, despite being very British and haven’t found a non-British ancestor as far back as I’ve traced to 1700s and I’m very much female.

So as you have thrown that out about another poster, I’m interested to see why people throw that about.

Magnastorm · 06/01/2025 20:42

He's not "gone" nuts.

He's always been a fucking lunatic.

Do you not have women's rights where you come from?

You mean the ‘apparent’ attack on the capitol?
It was basically a guided tour if you watch the footage.
Did you not see how the police ushered people in?
Watch Trump’s speech when he asked people to go home in peace.

You’ll realise that MSM lied and nothing was quite as it seemed.
Nancy Pelosi was offered the National Guard by DJT multiple times for Jan 6 2020.
She said no.

Yes, dear.

So you don’t believe in bodily freedom and the choice to make your own decisions regarding your own body and the bodies of your children, whilst they are too young to give fully informed consent?

FagsMagsandBags · 06/01/2025 20:43

I was going to say that I had ketamine in hospital and hallucinated people sitting around me having strange conversations with me that I knew weren't real but I went along with it and then thought that the nurse looking after me (one on one in ICU) wanted to murder me and was too scared to tell anyone in case they were in on it. Anyway, it wasn't ketamine it was fentanyl with added morphine. I know people who've falled down K-holes though and I understand it's quite the fucked up trip.

I think because that poster basically accused MNers of being hysterical and shrill.

Seemed kind of misogynistic.

This has been clearly covered. Numerically isn't the same as proportionally.

ALL the evidence is showing that compared to absolute numbers, Pakistani men are grossly over represented in these rape gangs.

Edited

I haven't seen it covered at all but am sure I saw that most white males in prison in UK are in on charges that include peadophilia with the biggest proportion in prison for it being white males. Our police force have admitted can't arrest them quick enough as so many crimes are being committed, so even that won't be fully representative of the problem in the white male community. So if they do it without a gang, it doesn't count all of a sudden?

Either way it's men and power.

He's being heroic over the grooming scandal.

I think it's genuinely sickened him which is a normal response

He is really not.

It really hasn't.

Your lack of awareness is exactly why people like Musk are so dangerous.

HappyNewFeckingYear · 06/01/2025 20:42

Do you not have women's rights where you come from?

I specifically meant which rights were they talking about?
President Trump has many brilliantly minded women working for him. What rights don’t they have exactly?

What about the children here.Why are you sidestepping that.

@Verbena17 a guided tour??? 😂😂😂😂

Kidding, right?

It’s about ALL women not just the powerful women who work with him.

Musk is nuts, but the UK government are shit.

Agree. Thing is, some of what he says in amongst his rantings are pretty valid and fair valid points.

or you can try to be good and then see all the wickedness that human kind can achieve and think pickle them all ill do it my way, and go rogue

That they think it's best to agree with you, rather than bother arguing.

Wonderfulstuff · 06/01/2025 20:48

Look at how he is behaving in his divorce case. Also note the 'child shield' theory. Total cunt.

However I do find the Farage drama quite entertaining. Little weasel getting what he deserves.

Donttellempike · 06/01/2025 20:48

itsjustbiology · 06/01/2025 19:18

I rather admire him. I think he is certainly an oddity. Is he nice ? I don't know.Is he causing all this aggro for his own personal fun ?Yes probably. Is he playing the system to his own end/ego ?yes I think so , Is he making the people who are intent on hiding the truth uncomfortable? Yes absolutely. Have you seen the debate in Parliament going on live right now..they are jumping through hoops trying to minimize this damage and rightly so. All across this house of parliament they ignored the victims and kicked the can down the road for years. They are not doing that now and that is down to Musk. I hope he keeps shouting and draws the kind of attention only he can to shine a light on these injustices in our society. One thing for sure ..nobody can ignore him.

He’s all about the injustice. Yes indeed 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😳😳😳😳😳😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

So you don’t believe in bodily freedom and the choice to make your own decisions regarding your own body and the bodies of your children, whilst they are too young to give fully informed consent?

If by that you mean "Do you think that children should reach the age of 18 before they consent to common and trusted vaccines against illnesses which have caused enormous child mortality throughout human history?"....yeah, in this instance I'll decide on behalf of my children and get it done while they're little.

But if you want to carry on warping what I'm saying by seizing the small example I gave, crack on.

(I expect you'll think because of this post I was all for enforced Covid vaccination now, right? Nuance is a wonderful thing.)

Just had a look at his twitter account. The piece he reposted by Kate Huey was appalling.
