Any bets on how long until he tops this with a new, even more outrageous comment? It's going to be right around as long as it takes for the media cycle to move on. Maybe he wants to nuke London now.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Luigi needs to be set free
I mean, there is more than 1 Mario brother. Nothing is stopping someone picking up the second controller and joining the game.
No. No. Ok. I have a brilliant plan. Forget conquering Britain militarily. We will simply revoke The Declaration of Independence. The Act passed through Congress doing this will be called The Declaration of Dependence.
We're now all just in the UK, and we Demand proportional representation in Parliament.
He sounds like a terrorist
That's because he is.
He's a troll. Just a troll with hundreds of billions of dollars who's somehow still a troll.
I wish everyone would stop feeding him.
He sounds like hes trying to demo what he wants to happen in other places. Normalise the conversation, break the standards. If its part of the dialogue now, it isnt that far fetched if it happens in the future. "We can do it too" "they did it first"
Its not subtle. Its a game plan. Its disgusting, but that is exactly whats happening. Same as when he said that the king of england should dissolve parliament. That wont happen, but saying it out loud unfortunately gives it merit. If its part of the conversation, its going to have opinions. Opinions that used to be only said in shadows, can now be said in public. And then they can be pointed to as justification.
He sounds like a twat who knows full well that whatever bullshit he spouts the toady, rage farming, media will be all over it like flies on shit.
Oh he knows, he's been doing it for a long time. Only this time he's bought the US government, and spends most of his time with the president-elect, so these tweets have consequences in the real world too. He's also perfectly aware of this, as is his buddy Putin.
A media owned by him and his cronies
Maybe South Africa can liberate us from this piece of human shit.
Why are people dragging us into this all the time? He fucked off from here, we are very happy about it and he is your problem now.
Fair enough, what about antarctica, can they take a bullet for the team?
Actually he's everyone's fucking problem now.
You are our last hope.
Hey America, NOBODY WANTS TO BE LIKE YOU
WE DO NOT WANT YOU TO “LIBERATE” US
WE DO NOT WANT YOU TO MASS EXODUS AND MOVE HERE
LEAVE THE REST OF THE WORLD THE FUCK ALONE
Don't blame us! We don't want this dingbat either. He's not even from here!
Musk is absolutely not the only person I’m talking about here.
aaaaaand also pretty please fight climate change.
America wont do that ever.
Many Americans don't to be like us either, but we seem to be losing.
Well you’ve allowed your country to liken leftism to weakness, and expecting the rest of the world to deal with it. This one is on American leftists just as much as it is on your insane right wing group.
Well I was born well after McCarthyism destroyed all semblance of good-faith discussion of leftist politics, and the current world order is not just America's fault. Rupert Murdoch has been one of the most influential figures in that regard, his propaganda apparatus has pushed the entire Anglosphere right.
Yeah, I’ll give you that. Dude did and continues to do so much damage, and organized propaganda is nothing to sneeze at.
