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.

What is he prescribed ketamine for?

I have to ask what's ketamine bladder

He is disgusting because he is an oligarch. These people are vile - they think that they are above everyone and anyone, including whole countries, just because they amassed wealth. They think they have the right to rule the Universe.

Yup, Starmer should not have responded.

He’ll have no choice in a few weeks when Trump enters the White House.

Ignore the troll? He’s a multi billionaire and owner of X and about to probably join the US government. Not some 60 year old troll from a bedsit in Leeds.

You can’t just ignore Musk !

I think he watched the interview with farage and kunesberg and doesn't understand that style of questions and deflecting answers
Farage was non committal about lambasting elons comments and branded him a hero. Elon tweeted how farage wasn't a good leader 🤣

THEN there's the thing about labour announcing no petrol and diesel cars can be bought after 2030 so I kinda feel this was all constructed between Elon and labour 🤔

You haven't seen him saying that Starmer is complicit in the rape of Britain and that Jess Phillips is a rape genocide apologist then?

The idea that this is a cunning plot between Musk and Farage or between Musk and Labour are both batshit.

He’s disrupting politics and shining a light on our politicians, even if he’s not really caring about the cause.

I think it’s good he’s making our government uncomfortable and Starmer is now having to face his tweets.

If they’ve got nothing to hide , they have nothing to fear.. unless anyone in power did cover it up..

He’s disrupting jack shit. He’s an unimaginably rich and powerful person, accountable to no-one, who has a massive amount of control over global politics. He can do whatever the fuck he wants with no consequences and he does, because he’s rich. Is this not exactly the same as what we’ve always had? He IS the status quo.

I don’t think he is prescribed.

Michael Jackson was prescribed, that didn't end well.

No he's not. He's disgusting. He's just using it to get attention.. just like he used those boys trapped and then called the guy who actually rescued them a paedo coz he wanted to do it and be applauded.
He's a vile piece of shit.

It’s weird how at the time everyone just forgot this!

DarkAndTwisties · 06/01/2025 18:46

Can't people just stick to calling for elections when they don't like the government, as opposed to calling for an unelected man to "liberate" us?

Why must everything people don't like be tyranny, as opposed to just a shit policy they disagree with.

Elections are to power and governance what giving a three year old a toy steering wheel in the back is to driving.

He's a comic book villain come to life unfortunately

But it's massively dumbing things down! It's not helpful. It makes idiots think any thought that wanders into their head is legitimate. Many of his questions and statements are completely unanswerable because they are nonsense. So deeply idiotic that in order to counter them you'd literally have to re put someone through school.
For example his tweets about starmer as the head of the CPS. Absolute lunacy that requires such a detailed response as to why it's mad.. taking you back to the fundamentals of how the justice system in the UK works and why... that the fools who think Elon musk is smart won't take any of that in.. they will just hear the simple thing Elon said and believe that as a fact.

It's straight from the Trump playbook of spouting complete nonsense that's so batshit it can't really be argued with as the intelligence level just isn't there in the people who believe it.

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

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

Edited

He’s had American citizenship for 20 years that makes him a South African American. Hardly a screw up.

The German Chancellor is right that we shouldn't feed the troll.

I think he is known as a PBP here.

Sasskitty · 06/01/2025 19:02

Allegedly he donated untold millions to the reform party. Allegedly he going to try for uk citizenship as his grandparent was British.

He's a chaos agent and is just playing. People have been assuming he's acting out of self interest ie his companies will make more money if Trump is in power etc. but honestly I don't think he gives a shit about that. He doesn't need more money.

I sort of picture him like depictions of Zeus and the Greek gods in old movies. Like charicatures just playing with the humans like dolls, not caring what really happens and meddling on a whim. He throws comments out there because he canz and to see what will happen just for shits and giggles and to see if he can have an effect.

Yup. He's having a whale of a time playing with the mere mortals.

Also a perfect example of why billionaires shouldn't exist. This is the future folks.

Thatcastlethere · 06/01/2025 19:04

His tweets remind me of this episode of Jam.
And if he does manage to become the dictator of our country that is how he will have achieved it

He didn't have to leap to publicly respond.

NotOneOfTheInCrowd · 06/01/2025 19:05

I read that he and trump are already falling out?

I also read that all of his adult children have disowned him.

justasking111 · 06/01/2025 19:06

Jakers that's not good.

Nor is the bit on dissociative disorder and hallucinations.

Cheeseismyfavourite · 06/01/2025 19:07

He’s been picking on Germany too he called Scholz a fool and backed the AFD.

He has Asperger’s his current special interest is causing quite the stir

I have to ask what's ketamine bladder

If you use ketamine regularly it damages your bladder and you can either lose control of your bladder frequently or end up not being able to urinate without help.

Very curious to know who the 13% of people are who think Musk's behaviour IS reasonable.

Assuming by behaviour you meant him speaking then the nice thing is that it doesn't have to qualify as reasonable to anyone. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

You know you can go on X and tell him you have a different opinion right? They don't cancel people for that now he's in charge.

In fact that's one reason some people hate Musk. They say if he won't silence people they don't like that means he agrees with that person in every respect.

Over40Overdating · 06/01/2025 19:08

He’s always been a thin skinned, egomaniacal junkie but he’s now got delusions of world dominance and no one to slap sense into him.

Says something when he manages to make Nigel Garbage look statesman like, both in his response to an insult that came out of the blue, and going on record about what Tiny Tears Ten Names Tommy is actually in jail for.

And even my worse, he’s brought that Gollum Tate out, barking for attention saying he might run for PM in the hopes Daddy Musk will buy him a place in politics.

And this line up of clowns would have us believe they are alpha men and the superior beings.
If that’s the best humanity can do, the asteroid needs to hurry up.
