Pay no attention to the man sticking his boot down Elon's throat behind the curtain.
His mum could have pulled it off in a heartbeat. He would be lucky to make it out of Buckingham...
There was a time when King Charles tried to overturn parliament way back in the 1600s. I forget what happened next, but I'm pretty sure it was all very civil.
Ahh yes but the second Charles was successful. Largely because Parliament was going after Catholics and people didn't like living under an Inquisition. Then James fucked it all up and everyone decided just electing better leaders was the compromise.
Unfortunately parliament didn't finish the job, and another Charles came along. Now we're up to a third Charles. I think parliament should have another go and get rid of these parasitic Charleses once and for all
Somehow Charles has returned.
Get out of my head, Charles.
Shut the fuck up, Charles!
Somehow I don't the UK will Be Heading down that same route again.
Yeah and he is pushing the neo nazi party before the German election.
There’s still time for SpaceX to do the right thing and load him in the next starship launch next week
Indeed, launch Leon's ass to Mars. He can take Putin's Sock Puppet with him and sell Tesla's.
Just like the end of Gravity's Rainbow.
Or the beginning of Planet Hulk.
We could well be heading towards something interesting in the not very distant future.
I'm not sure if Musk sincerely believes his wealth makes him untouchable or if he's too self-absorbed to even consider the matter, but it works out to the same thing either way - he's likely wrong.
He can get away with a fair bit manipulating an emotionally stunted egomaniac like Trump, but when he starts trying to butt into European politics, he's going to find himself running up against families that have been pulling political strings for centuries now, and who don't fancy crude upstarts with nothing more than money going for them, and if he proves to be too much of a problem for them, they're going to squash him like a bug.
I'll believe it when I see it.
the finding out phase can't come soon enough.
It’s already come multiple times. But people don’t seem to learn. We had Trump 1.0.-Covid-Brexit. Now we have Trump 2.0-BirdFlu-Elon Boogaloo.
The one time the conservative vote got split and let the liberals into power without a majority of the vote (instead of the reverse) and he thinks it is an emergency and an injustice worthy of bringing back monarchy powers....
Just tough it out for 5 years like the rest of the world is going to do with Trump.
If you think the US will have fair elections again after 4 years then I have some very bad news for you concerning the integrity of Russia's elections.
Kinda bad but really funny headline. He’s calling for Parliament to be dissolved and new general elections to be held, which the monarch can do since 2022 as was the case before 2011. But the headline does have merit, as in constitutional monarchies, everything the monarch does should (pronounced “must”) first be advised by democratic functions—in this case, the prime minister. And He probably will get another English Civil War if He dissolves parliament without the PM’s advice.
It probably wouldn't be much of a "civil war", pretty much everyone would just say "that's nice Charles" and then go pass a law explicitly removing that ability.
And He probably will get another English Civil War if He dissolves parliament without the PM’s advice.
Rest of the UK just going to sit and watch?
Watch some English people going at each other? Probably. Buy popcorn shares.
We gotta maintain the canonical continuity. With respecting historical precedent by the virtue of the common law system, Ireland shall free herself from the retcon and reestablish against discontinuity. Charles? Check. Fighting for democracy? Check. Scotland and Ireland as they should be, independent and without the EU’s EWsgusting meddling? Check. ¡Viva la revolución
Elon should've been in that Cybertruck.
Or that other cybertruck. Or the other one. Or that other one...
The Tesla boss endorsed a social media post criticizing the government’s handling of criminal gang investigations in Manchester. “In the UK, serious crimes such as rape require the Crown Prosecution Service's approval for the police to charge suspects. Who was the head of the CPS when rape gangs were allowed to exploit young girls without facing justice? Keir Starmer, 2008 -2013,” Musk posted on X (formerly Twitter) on New Year's Day.
That’s……oddly specific.
