January 3Jan 3 Musk has also posted a surely libellous comment about Labour minister Jess Phillips and writte3n in support of the fascist Alternativ für Deutschland party.
January 4Jan 4 kinda feel this is appropriate for the musk thread because it sure as shit shouldn't be affecting real life politics no news to anyone but Musk has gone fully off his rocker - inane spam posting about the UK's politics, calling for the King to intervene to make Starmer go, calling for Starmer to go in general on 'grooming gangs' which is fertile territory for the far-right to campaign on because it both makes them look righteous and is Islamophobic, and spreading conspiracy theories about what the Labour gov is responsible for. Oh and calling Tommy Robinson to be freed. feels so f***ing insane that the richest man in the world is laser focusing on the UK government from atop his social media platform and doing his best to spread misinformation about them and bring them down. I think the government need to stop using Twitter. What do you mean by ‘grooming gangs’ ?
January 4Jan 4 Author I don't mean to be rude but it's pretty easy to find out what I mean by anything you don't understand by googling a common phrase that has been consistently used by the media when referring to this specific case.
January 4Jan 4 I don't mean to be rude but it's pretty easy to find out what I mean by anything you don't understand by googling a common phrase that has been consistently used by the media when referring to this specific case. Wasn’t really the phrase just thought you were putting it in a type of scare quotes
January 4Jan 4 Wasn’t really the phrase just thought you were putting it in a type of scare quotes Scare quotes!? Musk is the one trying to use the terminology to scare and misinform... :wacko: :blink:
January 5Jan 5 In a way it's kind of good that Musk has become unhinged. He has no idea about British politics and he's not well liked over here. Plus he's associated himself with Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, whom even the Reform leadership know is poison. Farage knows you can't ever win an election without winning over middle England. It tears the far right apart and always will put Reform in an uncomfortable position, which they can't shy away from. Plus of course, like most idiots of the Far Right, Musk is a classic example of wanting free speech, but detests when people actually use free speech.
January 5Jan 5 Scare quotes!? Musk is the one trying to use the terminology to scare and misinform... :wacko: :blink: The grooming gang issue is a pretty scary one actually. I’d say it’s a lot more scary if there are still British people doubting it rather than some foreigner going a little ballistic after finding out the details about it. Interestingly Musk is now calling for the removal of Farage as Farage distanced himself from Tommy Robinson. I guess that’s his way of doing things is to be all in or not at all.
January 5Jan 5 Author oh that's nice to see, love me a bit of right infighting. Though the sooner our news cycle isn't hanging onto every word Musk says the better. The grooming gang issue is a pretty scary one actually. I’d say it’s a lot more scary if there are still British people doubting it rather than some foreigner going a little ballistic after finding out the details about it. Interestingly Musk is now calling for the removal of Farage as Farage distanced himself from Tommy Robinson. I guess that’s his way of doing things is to be all in or not at all. Scary as in it's very easily used by right-wing dipshits to convince people it is an issue worth basing your vote on, because it's an emotive issue that everyone does think is awful, but the crux of the right-wing push that Musk has waded in on is to a) convince people that men of South Asian descent are predominantly the ones responsible for these crimes when the statistics of abusers are pretty close to the standard demographics of the UK and b) to convince people that it is the Labour government at fault for this when Starmer and Phillips have been fighting to get justice for cases like this for much of their professional career and it was the Conservative government, that, like with everything under their watch, that dragged their feet on it. It's not an issue for people to go 'the country is declining' on, because it's a historic case - that hopefully will be investigated for justice, but leave that to the professionals, don't leave it to the papers and Musk/Robinson's crude witchhunts.
January 5Jan 5 Musk turning on Farage and calling for him to go just after Farage said Musk was a friend in an interview :lol: :lol: :lol: Hopefully Musk goes so much off his rocker that it will be to his detriment. Edited January 5Jan 5 by Envoirment
January 5Jan 5 Musk seems untouchable. Boris Johnson's antics may have caught up with him but the likes of Trump and Musk seem to be immune.
January 6Jan 6 My school has made the decision to no longer use X to promote ourselves as it no longer aligns with our values. Hopefully more schools and businesses follow that path and Musk can suffer as a result of his behaviours.
January 6Jan 6 What a loon, can he just focus on liberating the country he lives in from Trump instead!?
January 6Jan 6 Author one imagines that when one is in a responsible position like the sole owner of a major company that if you make statements implying that the strongest military in the world should invade and coup one of its closest allies one should face consequences, but what do I know
January 6Jan 6 As much as I laugh, it's actually really deplorable. I hope many British people deactivate their x accounts and move elsewhere. Let that echo chamber rot.
January 6Jan 6 I wonder if his views were more akin to someone like Jeremy Corbyn if a single newspaper would be taking him seriously at all... He has literally no authority or experience with British politics and yet he is being tauted by the Media as someone worth listening to. It's just depressing, I honestly commend Starmer and the current government for not feeding the troll and actually trying to do their jobs, but there will be so many numbskulls who think he's actually got a point.

He's fearful of the online safety bill and likely wants to use us for Space X. Absolute deplorable twat of a man whose got no friends. What a loser.
January 6Jan 6 He's an utter loser, and I still don't even trust the last US election, with the machines using his programming, so for him to talk about liberating a country from a government that managed to claw power back after 15 long ywars... The posts of hin on websites with his aliases are just lol. In one, he defends himself saying soemrhing like, he is a chad who "gets lots of sex" lol. Just lol.
