Elon Musk shared a fake Telegraph article claiming Keir Starmer was considering sending far-right rioters to “emergency detainment camps” in the Falklands.

Musk deleted his post after about 30 minutes but a screenshot captured by Politics.co.uk suggests it had garnered nearly two million views before it was deleted.

In it, Musk shared the image posted by the co-leader of the far-right group Britain First, Ashlea Simon, which she captioned with, “we’re all being deported to the Falklands”.

    The earth should really start just domain blocking X. Nothing of value ever happens there.

      Where we should really start is yeeting Musk and his supporters out of the fucking solar system (shooting them into the sun would be a waste of perfectly good delta-v)

        He could pay to go there. He’s all horny for space anyway. So go. Don’t let the door hit you on the ass on your way out.

          Who said anything about giving them supplies?

          I’m sure the free market will solve this! (yes, /s)

            In 3001 (sequel to 2001) they were able to revive Frank Poole. And in three body problem they thought they could revive just his head — I’m NOT taking any chances!!

            🤣🤣🤣

      In old days we would have admins block sites on their networks. I guess this time everyone looks up to the government to do it

        The issue is that reasonable people become irrational with anonymity and the culture Musk has built up on X feeds right into that. I think X is a social danger that people are unable to safely consume without being extremized.

        You can do it on your own machine, but an ISP doing it would violate the now reinstated Net Neutrality rules.
