Wow it's almost like he wants to destabilize the western world! How peculiar. 🤔
He managed to buy the American presidency so why not aim for more?
At least he's not smart about it and just yells it all in public. If he ever realizes he can do it quietly it'll be an even bigger problem.
That's the thing I don't get. Trump got the presidency, he can just carry Elon aside like a burger wrapper
Are you under the impression that Trump actually has a lot of money? You don't get rich by bankrupting businesses, and he's done a lot of that.
He certainly doesn't have enough to maintain the lifestyle that he's grown to love.
He's got bribes from all mayor tech companies willing to get in his favor. He doesn't need any more money. He can order the mint to print him a stack.
He's got immunity. He can litarally rob a bank and claim his presidential immunity. Hell he can kill Elon and steal his stuff LEGALLY
Concerning
!!
musk getting guillotined is something i would like to watch in the near future :)
My sanity isn't ready for an reality where Elon fucking Musk is fucking shit up globally. Trump was bad enough, but this shit? This is what will eventually cause a global conflict against fucking fascists of all things.
We already did this shit once, are we really going to do it again?
Trump is dying. Putin is dying. Hopeful megalomaniacs are looking to fill the vacuum when the boomers pass on. Someone had to step up. Elon decides it's his time
I agree, I just was naïve enough to think that maybe we had grown a little bit wiser. I was obviously wrong. So woefully wrong.
sounds like the old man didn't learn his lesson the first time.
He most certainly did not.
Oh please try Chuck. Please do. The one incontrovertible way to end the monarchy immediately would be if one of the inbred stands up and tries to exercise any real power.
It would be really cool seeing a monarch get guillotined in the 21st century
Thats one way to attract the attention of Mi6. He certainly fits the bond villain profile...
Except that Bond Villains are usually clever and invent something themselves. This dipshit is like the Bond Villain we have at home, from a rejected script that someone keeps failing to salvage.
You think Bond villains weren't taking credit for their underlings inventions? What a high opinion you have of evil people.
This guy evils.
It’s not like Hank thought of the hammocks, but you know he took credit for the work it got him.
MI6, if you can read this, please do it.
When I was younger, my sister teased and provoked me (I mean she still does but much less). Every time this happened, my parents told me to just ignore her. I think media should do the same when it comes to Elon Musk, since damn, everyone who doesn't willingly choose ignorance already sees who he is. By this you are just giving him more exposure.
That’s not how it works—actually, that’s not how anything works. It’s not about doing the right thing; it’s all about what drives the most attention, clicks, or money.
There’s a reason every media outlet reports on every little thing the fat guy or this bozo does or says. There’s a reason you didn’t ignore this news and felt compelled to comment on it.
It’s the same reason 99% of these commenters have no idea who someone like Demis Hassabis is, was or will be: it doesn’t drive attention.
It's hard to say what the responsible and ethical approach is for journalists given it is newsworthy that the richest man in the world (who is also extremely influential to the highest office of the most influential country of the world) is encouraging such an extreme and unexpected regime change, but also Musk, like Trump, puts out so much noise it's hard to predict what will actually be policy they persue vs what is just noise
Sounds like terrorism
When you're rich it's just called a suggestion not terrorism
Musk's entire job is to keep the media focused on him and his stupidity so that we aren't paying attention to what his useful orange idiot is doing.
That is an excellent point. The only snag is that I feel they aren't quite intelligent enough to think of that. Then again, maybe that's what they want us to think...
I mean, musk is a private citizen.
Surely the CIA has all his comms tapped, right?
...right?
Technically this is all foreign facing communication with extremist organizations.
Sips tea
It's time like this that makes me wish the deep state was real, but there is nobody in control behind the scenes. The world is a chaotic shit hole and we're all being held hostage and forced along the ride.
Clearly the king should just ignore this nonsense ….. and ban him from travelling there. Preferably the entire commonwealth. Wait. I’ll make popcorn
Funny enough, that's literally the plot of the play King Charles III that ran on the West End about a decade ago.
Spoiler alert: fictional KCIII doesn't get very far.
Elon gets involved in things he doesn't need to.
At this point he's just trolling. Someone call his mom, please.
King Charles is worse as a person than most of the UK government, for Musk's declared values (I mean, not advertised, but even of the world domination kind) too.
Let's have a LONDON TEslA PARTY and throw all the cars overboard.
When Musk controls the western world, Putin will invite him to the 23 floor for a cup of tea.
