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.

Sadly he is the richest or one of the richest men in the world and along with that power. Noticed that there is no Elon musk hospitals or schools or a charity

He's donated to plenty of hospitals. You can not like him but don't lie.

Calm down people. One tweet from Musk has improved Farage’s chances of further electoral success more than any cash ever could.

You’d have to be blind not to see what just happened. Farage just went mainstream. The country is backing him over someone else. He just consolidated his reputation of shunning the far right.

Quite a clever move by both Farage and Musk there.

Wishful thinking

Farage has come across as a hero worshipper that’s just been unceremoniously dumped by a ketamine addled narcissist. Lolacopters

Hardly the best look.

What does this word salad mean?

How is it a word salad? Can you not read?

I'm confused - is this sarcasm? Footage clearly shows people storming the building, breaking things and being violent. I'm not sure how you would frame this as acceptable behaviour. If someone did this to your place of work or your children's school, would you think that was "like a guided tour" too? Very odd.

I did a tour of DC in the summer. Our very knowledgeable guide said that the police got everyone of any importance out of the building and then did not activately stop the protestors from getting in.

Coolasfeck · 06/01/2025 22:11

Rumoured Ketamine dependency and inability to handle his DC becoming trans. Plus his ex-wife and still friend, the British actress Talulah Riley begging him to end ‘woke’ for her.

His approval ratings say otherwise.

Look, you don’t have to like the guy to acknowledge that he’s popular. Won more votes nationally than the Libdems and on the way up inn the polls. Those are just facts.

Maybe you should read the recommendations before you come up with nonsense.

Maybe you should stop insulting people that don't agree with you because echo chambers are dangerous.

Lampzade · 06/01/2025 22:11

Very dangerous man who will eventually fall out with both Farage and Trump

Yep. Of course they will. Even though Starmer is already accusing the ‘far right’ of smear tactics in relation to the Grooming issue. And we all know what that means. It’s his go to accusation whenever something crops up which he doesn’t want to deal with.

He’s accusing them of smear tactics for calling Jess Phillips a rape genocide apologist. Which is a smear. Nothing about the grooming issue itself, which is being dealt with by enacting the recommendations of the 7 year inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse.

He's trolling and you're all falling for it. But at least the girls let down by folk like the ones commenting on here are saying they are happier. Win.

Well exactly- why people are falling for it God only knows. Musk must be pissing himself laughing at all the haters feeding his little game. We all know a picture of Rick Astley could appear at any second.

Verbena17 · 06/01/2025 22:13

It’s kind of funny and ironic that everyone on here is so worried about a few truths from Elon and yet there’s total silence when it comes to the WEF wanting everybody to ‘own nothing and be happy’ or Bill Gates pouring millions of £££ into the BBC projects in Africa.

Acting on requires more investigating. Sorry if that offends you so much @Theunamedcat

No, it means acting on the recommendations of the existing report. Have you read them? Or the report?

JRSKSSBH · 06/01/2025 22:14

Or is it because he is allowed to see things abroad that are banned in this country by our supine judiciary?

Verbena17 · 06/01/2025 21:43

Whatever.

Good grief.

Why not just let people read the whole thing, then they could discover that NZ legislation is very similar to UK

Abortion Legislation Bill 164-3 (2019), Government Bill – New Zealand Legislation

Could you outline the truths from Elon? Because I’ve only seen misunderstandings, ignorance and outright lies.

There’s a very long way to go before his popularity gets tested at the ballot box.

There is a Musk Charitable Foundation. All very rich Americans seem to have one, possibly for tax purposes rather being 100% altruistic but it does exist.

And yet so many people are not laughing.

‘A few truths from Elon’ - is that really how you see this whole ridiculous attempt to smear Labour and threaten democracy?

In which case your comment which I replied to makes no sense. We know what action to take. The report has already told us.
