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.

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 😂

He's South African.

WallaceinAnderland · 06/01/2025 18:33

He's a multi billionaire. He thinks he can buy the UK. What a numpty!

Famous person has an opinion and tells the world their opinion shocker. This happens OP, maybe time to get on with life and get over it. People can express their opinions and you don't have to like it and people get offended every day. Its life and why we need grown up pants on every day.

He’s not American. He’s a racist colonial white South African.

In your rush to hate Americans again you’ve screwed up.

I think he's South African? He's not American anyway as I remember reading that he, thankfully, could never become the US President as he wasn't born there.

Gone12 · 06/01/2025 18:34

I don't think he's even human.

Thatcastlethere · 06/01/2025 18:34

He's not gone nuts. He always was nuts. It's just in our news alot at the moment because he keeps making comments about our country.
If you look at anything he's said and done over the years in general it's all unhinged. This is no more or less unhinged.
He's just a deeply arrogant narcissistic man who's hardly ever been told 'no' or 'that's not a good idea' as he's always been wealthy and surrounded by people who suck up to him.
But he's batshit. He thinks he's living in a sci fi novel.. but not in an interesting positive way.

It’s a publicity stunt to make farage more appealing to those voters that normally wouldn’t vote reform.

think about it ..

Farage won’t have Tommy on board because those voters that normally wouldn't vote reform , then DEFINITELY won’t vote reform. That’s what farage meant by “Tommy is not what this party needs..” - he didn’t say anything negative about Tommy and his ideology - which is very telling.
but reform are appealing to the voter that can’t see anything beyond their nose- who can’t think outside the box.

reform is blurring lines by hiding how racist it really is to get the majority vote.

the true reform will show itself when in power

What is he prescribed ketamine for?

He'll get ketamine bladder

He's entered a state of egomania.

Thinks he knows better than anyone else in the world!

egomania; Egomania is a psychiatric term used to describe excessive preoccupation with one's ego, identity or self and applies the same preoccupation to anyone who follows one's own ungoverned impulses, is possessed by delusions of personal greatness & grandeur and feels a lack of appreciation.

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

I’ve had ketamine (in hospital) honestly I’d be impressed if people can tolerate it. I have a giant hole in my memory where they manipulated my broken bones into place

This is so naive. He is not just any famous person. He has an amount of power and influence incomparable with even Taylor Swift or Beyoncé. And he’s incredibly unpredictable. That should worry us all, whether you agree with his opinions or not.

He’s a US citizen who was born in South Africa.

He was born, raised, benefited, and profited from racist apartheid white supremacist South Africa. His attitudes are directly linked to his upbringing.

Still a racist white South African who think thinks the world owes him everything. Pure apartheid thinking.

braaaiiins · 06/01/2025 18:39

Always was but didn't have the platform and direct unfiltered access to his audience?

Annabella92 · 06/01/2025 18:39

If he wants to liberate Brits from their tyrannical government then I'm here for it

User135644 · 06/01/2025 18:40

He's being heroic over the grooming scandal.

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

I think we've found an Elon fan! 😁

Over It Ugh GIF

Can we PLEASE just have ONE bloody central thread about Elon

PLEASE

Gtfto2024 · 06/01/2025 18:42

Musk is no hero. He's a coward using the trauma of women and children to further his agenda. That's utterly despicable.

OnlyDespairRemains · 06/01/2025 18:42

You said he wasn’t an American.
