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 up in the middle of the night, texting all kinds of shit to Twitter. Supporting people, then criticising them. He's definitely "off". I also think it's telling that he has damaged Twitter so badly.

Well, as a pp said to my earlier post about Tesla- he doesn’t actually care anymore.

He sees these companies as stepping stones to his impending world domination, mwuhahaha etc

considering when he took over he gave all free speech back without restrictions, id say thats a positive for democracy

Yes lets bring back The Paedophile Information Exchange... freedom of speech an all that...

He’s saying nothing of the sort. He’s saying the Tories who sat on the report and did nothing for 2.5 years and did nothing are jumping on the bandwagon now Musk’s set it rolling.

Did you actually listen to his speech??

Are you serious?
You like Elon Musk and agree with what he says?

Yes I did. I don’t think you did.

I think it's really worrying that because of his immense wealth he thinks he can influence politics here. But I think his criticism of Nigel Farage will only help NF's popularity. I agree with the poster who thought Musk and Trump may well have a falling out.

“Free speech enthusiast” Elon Musk has just banned a Spectator journalist from Twitter for writing an article about Adrian Dittman and banned any attempts to link to the story.

Did those minutes ever come out from when Bill Gates visited Starmer recently? Where were the threads on that? What about George Soros, I've literally never seen a post about him here.

There's a reason his dad gave an interview saying Elon wasn't his favourite child.

Wasn’t it the Labour Party who literally sent 100 party members (paid for by tax payers) to the US prior to the 2024 election to try and sway the votes?

Wasn’t it Bill gates that recently paid a visit to Number 10? 🤔
Who remembers Obummer making a visit to Number 10 a few months back too.

You’re wrong on the facts.

Some individual Labour party members went to the US to help their counterparts over there do stuff like post election leaflets through doors. In their own time and using their own money. Just like Nige Farage went over to join in the campaigning for his great pal Trump, remember?

People who are into politics do that kind of thing, they always have done. People of all political persuasions. None of it was paid for by taxpayers.

Are you also upset that Nige Farage and Reform were trying to “swing the vote” in the US against the Democrats?
