To think Elon Musk has gone nuts

[Viviennemary]

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.

Am I right I read he is on the spectrum, so he may have difficulty processing social communication or responding appropriately, possibly lack of empathy and if he is on drugs as well that may well compound any internal issues he has

And as someone posted above, he comes from a dysfunction family

Seriously,bloody hell that's awful,no wonder his son is the way he is then.

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

So the solution is Musk behind the wheel? For what reason? Because he's rich?

Oh don't. He'd love that comparison. In reality he's just a boring pasty, lumpy narcissistic middle aged man.

I've always been creeped out by him, even with most money in the world, he ended up with a face like a bawbag !

He is autistic which explains a lot of his behaviour and how he views the world. Not making excuses for him by the way.

Think he is probably on the spectrum, nothing wrong with that, but combine it with vast wealth AND Megalomania. That gives the world as big a problem as his mate Trump, they have similar traits. Think Bond Villan

I couldn't read the article because it was behind a paywall but there was a NYT article about him setting up a compound for his women and his kids. Hmmmm.

He's on some sort of power crazed trip. I honestly feel like I'm watching a black mirror episode when I'm reading twitter atm.

He'll be running for president in 2028. We're doomed.

Magnifying glass

He has always been a complete nutcase and a nasty right wing supporter.

Buying X has just made this more visible to everyone.

I think getting close to Trump has made him think he can do anything now and openly interfere in other countries' politics and elections.

It will be interesting to see what happens when he inevitable falls out with Trump next....

No he won't, he isn't eligible.

oops, ticked the Wrong box.

Yes he's nuts.

Apparently, he started a poll on X to ask whether America should take action to liberate the UK

🤔

But he does... thats the issue. He does agree with them. That is why he bought twitter. He thinks it's 'free speech', but he just wants a platform to hear views more in line with his own beliefs.
X is a complete echo chamber now.
It's just a cesspit of nonsense.

I am here for the catastrophic falling out with Trump which will inevitably come.

So naive.

It's just his latest rant.

So he says his own dad has done every type of evil

Whjat does that mean, has his dad murdered and raped people? Abused his children?

Left crumbs in the butter?

What does he mean?

It's a worry when you realise that Trump may be the more moderate one! Scary times ahead.

The mistake people make is listening. It’s his current hobbyhorse.
He’s massively motivated by free speech.

He spits the dummy about the idea that there are things you aren’t allowed to say.

In a grown up world, when people spout crap you move along and listen to someone else. Or become a speaker and offer an alternative.

Apart from the random insults he throws around when irritated/hurt/insulted, he doesn’t actually say much that’s particularly offensive. At least, I’ve not seen that. It’s more that people read a lot of associated ideas into things he says. So in supporting Trump, they assume he supports all the crap Trump says. But he used to be a democrat.

In my opinion he’s just a bit single issue. Hyper focussed on what people should be allowed to say. And Trump neatly illustrates people being allowed to spout garbage 🤣

I wonder if he and Trump ever discuss their Daddy issues.

He’s a US citizen now.

He's not very motivated by free speech when he bans people off Twitter for criticising him.

I rather admire him. I think he is certainly an oddity. Is he nice ? I don't know.Is he causing all this aggro for his own personal fun ?Yes probably. Is he playing the system to his own end/ego ?yes I think so , Is he making the people who are intent on hiding the truth uncomfortable? Yes absolutely. Have you seen the debate in Parliament going on live right now..they are jumping through hoops trying to minimize this damage and rightly so. All across this house of parliament they ignored the victims and kicked the can down the road for years. They are not doing that now and that is down to Musk. I hope he keeps shouting and draws the kind of attention only he can to shine a light on these injustices in our society. One thing for sure ..nobody can ignore him.

Made me smile when he rang up a journalist at the BBC to ask why he’d reported critically about X. The journalist was very taken aback, but successfully persuaded him that the BBC was not a state sponsored broadcaster but was indeed independent.
