Maybe ~~Putin~~ Musk should launch a special military operation in ~~Ukraine~~ Britain to ~~de-nazify~~ de-tyrranize them. How kind and noble that would be.
My bins weren't collected last week, now we've got snow in them and all the cardboard's all wet and soggy. If that is not evidence of a tyrannical dictatorship, then I don't know what is.
Adrian Binnmann will be straight over as soon as you let that nice billionaire run the country.

Brit here. What a complete wankpuffin. He should focus on liberating himself from his own stupidity.
"wankpuffin" going to have to use that one.
Can't tell if this guy's finally lost it or I just have a very different sense of humor from him
I have heard a hypothesis that his ketamine habit has burned through a bit too much frontal lobe.
He never had it

Why do I feel like we're about to do a whole Third Reich thing?
This one will be the Fourth Reich.
History doesn't repeat but it does rhyme.
I mean.......they started it.....
🤣
I can't believe Elon musk managed to destroy twitter so much they lead to four separate twitter's for each political quadrant!
Twitter for the right, Twitter for the left, Twitter for the libertarian, Twitter for Linux users
It's twitter for the right, Lemmy for the left, bluesky for the libertarians and Linux users have joined either us, or gone back to trusty bulletin boards

They're welcome to Luton, to be honest.
If he sees Bradford he'll probably have an aneurysm.
Oi! That's the UK City of Culture 2025 you're talking about!
"Even reading the local newspaper, some of the headlines can be very upbeat, and beneath it are just loads of comments that, 'This is a disaster, it'll just never work, Bradford is doomed'."
Non American , and non brit here. Why is this waste of energy so interested in the UK and Europe now ? I know there will be plenty of cynical takes which I will probably endorse however I’m interested in what his actual motivation might be. Does he just want parties in power in the given country that he has influence over for the sake of legislative advantage for his businesses? Or is it trollconomics for sake of driving signups to his failing social network I forget the name of?
He wants to be king of the world, it's as simple as that. He already has the most money (not that that'll stop him from wanting more), now he just needs to have the most power, and actively supporting the rise of fascism around the world (which he has been doing for long before he let his mask start to slip and now completely come off) is his way of getting it.
The fact that you think he bought twitter, or is running it the way he is as some sort of troll, rather than a very real, and very effective, way of manipulating the public as well as politics as a whole, shows how well it works.
it’s all a big ploy to give the US bargaining chips when negotiating with the UK for trade agreements.
“well we’re going to tariff the shit out of you unless we can sell chlorine washed chickens in your country”
“oh also fuck your publicly owned railways and roads, you’ll sell them to us at a discount or you’ll be sorry.”
“by the way we’re still going to endorse and fund far right parties and destabilise your democracy - that’s just what allies do, right?”
Musk is under Putin's thumb and Britain is one of the leading supporters of Ukraine.

Can we turn all the lights off and pretend nobody's home when they come knocking? We'll definitely hear them coming.
Maybe willingly telling the guy steamrolling towards the 1984 timeline exactly who is against him isn't the best idea?
The best thing I can say about Musk is that watching him spiral even further into madness will be fun.
Yup, even better since he's buddies with Trump right now, when the shit hits the fan it will be better than reality tv.

US here, we need to worry about our own government right now, and many of us wish Musk would drive his own Cyber truck to test dummy it's 'features' personally. As a US citizen I am sorry the oligarchy is a pain for you as well.
It'll be worse for you guys though. Trade sanctions cut both ways and the thing is the UK has the rest of the world to trade from, but the US will impose sanctions on everyone and shoot themselves in the foot.
Nah, you are OK, thanks.
