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.

His latest poll is the cherry on top 🤣

He thinks we need liberating!

Trust me Elon it’s a shitshow here. But we don’t need invading by America.

Wasn’t Donald Trump born in Scotland or have dreamed that up.
I know there’s definitely a Scottish connection and ironically again if I’m not mistaken Boris Johnson was born in New York.
So if I am correct Donald Trump born in Scotland (Britain) is and has been the American President
Boris Johnson born in New York (America) was once the British Prime Minister.

Edited

Donald Trump us US born but his mother is Scottish.

I don’t know if Musk is a naturalised Yank now.

Well it would appear most people think he’s a cunt, so I’m not sure that’s a massive achievement.

Meh he would care, he’s more interested in stirring things up, he doesn’t care what people think of him.

And what’s your point? Does, ‘Elon’ have something to say about New Zealand?

My point was, that the Democrats wanted a very similar thing. So I was giving an example of how the Republican abortion policy works well.

Trump wasn’t born in Scotland or he wouldn’t be eligible to be President. He claims Scottish ancestry. Johnson was, I think, born in NY but gave up his citizenship rather than pay American tax.

That’s right. I knew there was a connection

How quickly did you want it?

How quick do you want it? If at all? Are you happy for this to trundle along until the next GE? Yes, the Tories did zilch, we know that, but I’m talking about what are Labour going to do. As said, they pushed through convicting the rioters and getting them jailed within weeks, so have shown things can get done quickly. When they want it to…

Your assertion (and whatever your screenshot is) aren’t quite true though, are they?

Solent123 · 06/01/2025 21:36

There has been an investigation however the local council asked JP (in charge of safe guarding) for a further independent investigation and from what I understand and she said no it should be a local thing - that's the impression I have. Personally I think fcuk yet more long drawn out local v national investigations - just get on with prosecuting and preventing those awful atrocities and perhaps that's what JP should have said/

What is concerning me is that because Labour's poor economic policies will allow the wealth gap inequality to grow and therefore the standards of living for normal people will continue to fall - the far right and even further far right than Farage will flourish and whilst he's certainly not my cup of tea a lot of people do support the likes of TR - scary times.

DJT was born in Queens, NYC to an American father and Scottish mother.
Elon was born in SA - his grandmother was from Liverpool.
He is a US citizen.

TitaniumDad · 06/01/2025 21:36

Elon is a busy guy but he became properly political recently and thought Nigel was a good pick. Then Nige backtracked on thinking deporting foreign criminals was a good idea. Then Musk learned about the rampant Pakistani child rape gangs that have been institutionally accepted by the UK Governments as part of a normal society for thirty years or so, and Farage not standing up for those girls apparently made an impression.

No I’m not. That’s why I’m glad the recommendations are being implemented now. The Tories sat on the report and did nothing for 2.5 years.

He reminds me of my friends Dad when he posts on facebook.

he doesn’t think anything of the sort. He’s just trying to get a rise out of people! And judging by the frenzy on MN it’s working a treat😂

Whatever my screenshot was…..was from the website Right to Life, outlining what the 2020 Abortion Bill in NZ now covered.

Hmm like some ket comedown from hell, new year and all that. Wang off a few tweets to do a bit of light government destabilising before he sleeps off his hangover or something Hmm

Bound to be neutral and accurate then.

Filtered through bias and a specific agenda, of course.

dapsnotplimsolls · 06/01/2025 21:40

Now Trudeau is on his way out, will Musk re-focus his attention?

He’s ok with Trump’s sexual assaults and locking kids in cages though. Funny that

OneLemonDog · 06/01/2025 21:41

I was actually heartened by the Daily Mail comments section, which seemed to indicate a lot of right wing anger towards Musk.

There is so much more to come to light on this, we have a police force scared to prosecute a demographic for fear of being labelled racist…..see nott8ng hill carnival, pro Palestine marches etc etc but the fact they failed young girls is reprehensible.

Just wanted to point out the Police do not bring prosecutions. Their job is to present evidence to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) who will then decide what offence(s) the arrested person(s) are to be charged with. If you truly believe what you have posted you should re-phrase it as "the police are scared to arrest a demographic for fear of being labelled racist"
