Summary
Elon Musk labeled Britain a “tyrannical police state” on X, criticized Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s leadership, and questioned the imprisonment of far-right activist Tommy Robinson.
Musk’s comments coincide with his role as a key adviser to Trump, raising concerns in the U.K. about its relationship with the incoming administration.
Musk also criticized Starmer’s policies, including increased farm inheritance taxes, and boosted far-right content on X.
This follows similar clashes with other U.S. allies, including Germany and Australia, over their domestic policies.
Could somebody just grind this man into a fine paste already?
Now that’s the news is wanna see in the morning
And the US isn’t?
Ok.
Lol, put that police state to use and get that X bullshit out of your countries so you don’t have to deal with his lame blackmail attempts anymore. This is far more blatant and insidious than TikTok ever was. Let him boost away in his own little bubble of delusional Americans and Russian bots.
I think this maniac wishes for immortality, and since the closest he can do is make his name stand out in the history books, he used his “dumbest kid on planet Vulcan” logical prowess to deduce that the best way to accomplish that is to become a mustache twirling villain.
Jesus Christ Russia have absolutely nailed this part of their geopolitical play.
They’ve basically got 2 members of, if not an entire, US government under their thumb, they’ve corrupted the EU to make one of their major contributors to leave (thinking the US is on their side, idiotically), and they’ve got good relations with the other superpower (china).
Annoyingly, it looks like the EU which is the most, even if not enough, “for the people” political establishment in our world today is going to get screwed over the next decade or so.
The only way Europe gets screwed, assuming it finds itself standing alone geopolitically (and that’s assuming the US wouldn’t jump in, even if relations had cooled, it’s hard to imagine America missing a chance to fight) is if Europe continues the half hearted laissez faire neoliberal shit it’s got going on now. The same with the USA, if Trump capitulates global hegemony because Putin, and by proxy, Xi, command him too.
In the face of hostilities both Europe and America can be self sufficient, after some initial wartime retooling.
Let’s assume they’re unable to sell their debt abroad this next war time, then there would be considerate warbond fundraising. You know what becomes unimportant then? Profits. The only way thru, unoccupied, is by eating the rich. The longer either nation hesitates, we can assume equates to more damage internally, which increases the likelihood of eating the rich postwar, to fund rebuilding, like Japan did after The Boog, Great War, pt. Deux.
So once again, the wealthy class funding these social divisions are ultimately going to be their own undoing.
And good. Fuck a billionaire. Fuck a tens of millionaire. Bring out the new, upgraded laser-otine, it cauterizes as it works, so there’s no mess. We’s in the future, baby.
He’s got such a hate boner for Kier Starmer that I’m kind of intrigued. Starmer is the most boring, beaurocratic politician you can find. I can’t understand what’s triggered this latest Musk mania.
He’s a prosecutor who apparently can’t be bought.
That’s far more dangerous to a billionaire than a firebrand.
If Starner only delivers a non-corrupt legal system it’ll be an incredible win for the Country. But I do think he needs 10 years in office so he should focus on actually winning the next election.
White, rich guy from apartheid South Africa accuses country of tyranny after it locks up a person white supremacists look up to.
Hmm. Hmmmm.
He’s a Russian asset that holds U.S. military contracts. yay
This is news to me, what’s he linked to with Russia?
Starlink?
Just wait until he uses DOGE to gut NASA and gets more contracts for SpaceX.
That department doesn’t even exist tho. Yet at least
I think he’d be more likely to fund more NASA projects since they contract it out to SpaceX anyway.
It’s likely going to be a bit of both.
It would be extremely convenient for Muskrat if NASA no longer had the engineering budget to design their own rockets while simultaneously having a higher budget for private contractors.
It would be extremely easy to sell the idea to people who don’t look past the raw numbers, too. Frame it as though NASA is spending $400 million on projects that have already been done by the private sector and propose half of it gets reallocated to contracting and the other half gets cut to lower expenses. Musk sycophants will praise him for being a genius, MAGA morons will congratulate him on being “efficient” and fixing the economy, and he’ll have his nice little oligarchy just like he wanted.
Definitely. He’ll try to get SLS cancelled because he owns its competitor.
NASA does a lot. He wants all their funding.
The only thing Elon wants that NASA does is Mars.
I’m so tired of this guy.
Elon is a threat to humanity.
He’s trying to build starships. He’s a threat to the galaxy.
Elon has spent $5 billion in taxpayers money and he hasn’t even gotten an empty Starship into orbit yet. NASA can land a working rover on Mars for $1billion, and SpaceX can barely manage to recapture a smoking husk of a booster on “the chopsticks”.
Believe me the galaxy is safe. Elon just wants those taxpayers dollars to keep his grift going.
Didn’t say he was succeeding… lol.
He has already started littering space with scrapped vehicles.
Next star trek series, they gonna find the Tesla floating out there.
“Captain, we are being hailed by T’ger.”
“On screen.”
“Elon and Don at McDonalds. Arms wide.”
“Arm photon torpedoes.”
“Can you make it go?”
It’s really annoying how this guy never complains about what actual autocracies are doing; never a peep complaining about the times they ask for things to be removed from Twitter. Just hand wringing about needing to follow the law to operate in those places. Hypocrite
Welcome to politics, there’s all sorts going on that we know nothing about that will influence who says what about whom, when and why. Hypocrisy is irrelevant to these people. He’s just influencing.
He is doing Russian dirty work
accusation, confession
We should ban this guy’s propaganda site.
All the people taking this lightly, wildly underestimate the effect the richest man in the world has on public discourse. This guy is taking heads of state to task, threatening democracy.
I hope he trips up and gets X banned… but we need to be way more radical in protecting our democracy.
Someone just bitchslap that cunt, please.
I hate that this piece of shit is so young…
I’m going to have to wait a lonnnnnng time to piss on his grave :(
I would say hopefully his diet will kill him but then we have the likes of trump
The dude basically lives on cocaine and a plethora of other drugs from what I’ve heard.
