To think that Musk is now overstepping himself and the UK gvt should threaten action

Musk has just posted this on twitter (among other unhinged tweets). To me this reads as a thinly veiled threat to democratically elected UK MPs and actually the UK government should consider sanctions to the US if he continues this attack when he enters the White House?

To be fair it's not his "fan girls and boys" starting multiple threads about him, its his haters providing them with a platform to defend him.

If it wasn't for MN I wouldn't have a clue what he was saying because I don't usually seek out the opinions of random billionaires.

I wouldn’t either. These daily threads and posts do his work for him. Getting attention

She's not the victim here.

The victims support her.

That's great but I'm saying the victims are the children that were abused.

Yes. Whom support her.

If Britain wants to moan about other countries not taking back their criminals they should lead by example.

As we don’t other countries are well within their rights to tell us to eff off.

@XylophoneXylon Bit how is he "bringing awareness"

People who were interested were also aware

It's just like him posting that water is wet and being hailed as messiah for raising awareness

Elon Musk has called Ed Davey (Lib Deb leader) a 'snivelling cretin' on X !

Who on earth would disagree with that?

I would.

You don't get to tell me what i can and cannot do.

Though that is the way of the rightwing, always has been, burning books, executing anyone capable of challenge, its what you do, just as right wing followers tend to be of a lower educational standard.

This exactly.

I'm actually shocked that people are outraged about him to be honest.

They'd much rather the rape and torture of thousands of children was swept under the carpet so they can continue with their faux 'right-on' leftie clap-trap.

Please cite a post where anyone has said that.

I have no idea if anyone has actually got around to answering the question asked many times on this thread - what actual vote is Elon Musk referencing?
In case anyone is interested in facts as opposed to fiction, IT IS ALL A LIE.

There has never been a vote on deporting criminals who commit rape in the UK. Not one of those people named in his tweet or whatever he calls them now - Xing? sounds a bit like a Chinese dictator, doesn't it? - has voted on that issue and the list has nothing at all to do with any vote ever taken.

The list is a list of signatories to a letter to the Home Secretary who was then Sajid Javid after he told Parliament that 29 people deported in 2019 were all guilty of very serious crimes such as rape and murder, firearms offences and drug-trafficking. This was a lie. One of the 29 had committed murder. The other 28 were guilty of minor offences such as possession or in at least one case a driving offence. Most were part of Windrush and had no ties to Jamaica having come to the UK as children. The letter asked for an apology for lying and assurances relating to the Windrush scandal.

NOT ONE OF THEM WAS A RAPIST.

It may come as a shock to some people, but Elon Musk is a liar.

I have seen it! Who was the abuse coming from? She won by less than 700 votes. Its an interesting constituency, we should all be learning more about it.

Every post which bemoans Musks comments. Basically defends the government's inaction and frustration that a light is being shone on something they don't want people to see.

If you ‘show quote history’ you’ll realise you are indeed responding to me.

That poster said you don’t have the moral high ground.

You responded by calling her a book burning executioner.

I think you’ve proved the point tbh…

I’ve made it clear in my family that no one will be allowed to park a Tesla on our drive.

I closed my twitter account when he took it over.

And I’ve disliked the idiot for years. Both DH and my DSs thought I was over reacting - but the signs were there when he labelled the diving rescue expert who rejected his ‘device’ a paedophile. Who the hell behaves like that? A total moron, that’s who. DS2 is very anti- drugs - so I’ve just shown him the reports about Musk’s ketamine use.

Totally agree. Stop supporting the other billionaires too. To them we are just walking wallets to fleece, they don't give a feck about us or our children. They have the money and resources to make a real difference but instead they post on social media 😕

How is it "inaction" to state the intention of implementing the Kay report? To claim that those critical of Musk don't care about the abuse of women and girls and want it swept under the carpet is a disgusting allegation.

Did you seriously type that? Of all the disgusting things I’ve seen here that’s right up there. You should be ashamed of yourself.

It doesn’t matter where the abuse was coming from. Its source is irrelevant.

Regardless of what posters think of Musk as a person he has at least brought the matter to public attention and that there is now an impetus to implement the recommendations from the previous enquiry which have been ignored for the past 2.5 years by both the Conservatives and Labour.

Or as Maggie Oliver a former Greater Manchester Police (GMP) detective who resigned in 2012 over poor handling of abuse cases in Rochdale, said it has taken "an international spotlight on our country" to prompt the measures announced by the home secretary.

"nothing had happened in the two-and-a-half years since those recommendations were made".
