      The UK needs to rapidly divest from Musk. One of the most dangerous people who has ever lived. All official X accounts should be closed by the end of the month.

      The best anyone can do is to completely ignore this attention seeker. I honestly don’t know why he is given any oxygen. It’s not like he has anything meaningful to say.

      There’s a way you’re supposed to play this game, and it involves a veneer of respectability and plausible deniability. Farage is probably worried Musk will start tweeting “bring back the BNP” or something.

      Look I’m pretty left wing and feel genuinely threatened by Reform, but you’ve gotta give credit where it’s due.

      Both sides of the isle having standards about who they will and won’t engage with is how fascism, totalitarianism, and other horrors, are avoided. Farage is way too far to the right for my comfort but the fact he rejects Robinson is good, because it means he has limits.

      Ban his “X” hate site. Just block it, countrywide.
      Nothing of value would be lost.

      Yikes… Elon just posted that Starmer is responsible for all the Grape (take out the word G) in Britain when he was DPP. Elon just loves to spread misinformation

      It’s funny that all the same sorts of people that claim we can’t do deportations to third world countries because “international laws and geopolitics is complicated ”

      Will be the same ones that think the UK can use its diplomatic might to take on the world’s only super power.

      How does that work?

      We apparently don’t have enough diplomatic muscle to force pakistan to take back its nationals who have commited crimes but people think we can persuade the USA to condemn a private citizens exercising their constitutional right to freedom of speech?

      Labour have since day one had a huge issue with messaging and any attempt to go after Musk or X is going to back fire massively.

      Whether you like Elon or not him calling out the goverment over covering up the CSE scandal isn’t going to make it go away or make people forget it. It will do the complete opposite and feed the narrative that there’s an ongoing cover up.

      From a political point of view this would all go away at least briefly if Kier comes out saying

      “we have seen and heard that there is a desire from the public and will launch a national enquiry”

      That would make him look good, look like he cares and would send a strong message that he listens to the electorate.

      Unfortunately because of how badly they seem to deal with everything I’m fully expecting them to blow this up into something even bigger.

      Here’s what you need to remember about Musk: He calls democrats “radicalised leftists” when in fact, democrats in pretty much any other first world democratic country would be considered a centre right party. His political senses are skewed due to living in the USA as well as drinking the Twitter koolaid. To him, even the Lib Dems would be extreme lefties. It’s no wonder he’d support somebody like Tommy Robinson.

      This does put Farage in an interesting position though, because not even he skews that far right to support Robinson. Because, as per the article, even he distances himself from Tommy Robinson. So he either has to bite the bullet for Musk’s support and go deeper into extremist territory than he already is, or wash his hands of Musk and go without that funding.

      More importantly though, it once again shows us why the UK needs to take action *now* to prevent Musk’s influence on UK politics. Taking the political spectrum from the US would literally have the UK implode upon itself. I really don’t fancy being the 51st state.

      We does he and the orange clown think they’re entitled to comment on another country internal politics that way, why do we let them have such an audience

    10. Elemayowe on

      Genuinely hilarious. Elon thinks he’s the smartest guy in the world and he’s got no idea what he’s doing with the UK.

    12. slaitaar on

      X?

      Have you seen the amount of shit posted on Reddit??

      The most ideologically driven shit, mostly left, but not exclusively.

      Also, right of Centre US politics is pretty right wing in the UK, always has been, always will be.

      People need to learn history.

      Thousands of young girls, groomed, raped and their lives ruined mostly by young Asian men up and down the country for decades with the Government and police not only covering it up but actively prosecuting people who try to speak up about it and yet it’s not this that is the problem. No, it’s tweets by Elon Musk calling attention to it.

      Absolutely pathetic, fucking cowards.

    15. IntroductionNo7714 on

      Hey Buddy!… Only Pop Stars and Hollywood Actors are aloud to influence democracies!!!!!

    16. Specific_Till_6870 on

      Years ago my dad told me he thought Richard Branson was the anti-Christ. He has some pretty outdated views but he’s now firmly of the belief that it’s Musk. 

    18. bhison on

      Too far in that it blows the cover of the far right movement being one that represents the interests of the super rich rather than the working class?

    19. chuffingnora on

      He bangs on about America being too racist with the h1b malarkey and then goes in with Yardley-Lennon to contradict that.

      To which point, you have to ask – is he ideologically right-wing?

      I think he doesn’t give a shit about left or right and only thinks about Musk. His objectives are focused on how he can get more control globally – and the right are the easiest wing to buy.

    20. Sockpervert1349 on

      Where were these people when the large UK right wing accounts where making wild claims about people who support LGBTQ rights as being “groomers”, “Peadophiles” and punching them outside a London pub as part of protests making the same claims?

    21. Danqazmlp0 on

      Even a broken clock can be right twice a day. The right-wing know that Musk is only going further and further, which will eventually lead to their downfall with the electorate in the UK.

    22. King_Kai_The_First on

      Obviously Elon’s ego won’t allow him to accept he’s taken a wrong step, so he will double down. In fact I want him to double down.

    23. psychodad90 on

      A couple of things:

      This is the main takeaway from this? Not that the British government arrested the fathers of abuse victims when they tracked down their kids and tried to get them away from their abusers? Not that the police were so afraid to be labeled racists for arresting foreigners, that they allowed the abuse to go on for years?
      Also, no source on the claims. It says anonymous politicians got in contact with Trump’s people. This isn’t reliable at all.
      Telling that reddit focuses on Musk instead of the abusers. Yall are the type to let sexual abuse happen as long as you can proudly say you’re progressive and totally not racist.

    24. Mobile_Falcon8639 on

      Musk is extremely dangerous and he clearly has ambitions. But it won’t be easy for Trump to get rid of him when they fall out Musk has bank rolled the Republicans.

    25. Danqazmlp0 on

      Has this thread been brigaded by Musk supporters? I’ve never seen to many in all the threads on here, yet all of a sudden hundreds of Musk supporters?

    26. Estimated-Delivery on

      Musk is not a country, Musk does not deserve obeisance from anyone still less to be listed as a a serious person interested in solving problems. The only thing Musk is interested in – like Morgoth – is to tie people too him that might end up with power (and thus spend some of his fortune influencing others to get them into power) so that he can ultimately control them, gain lucrative contracts from compromised leaders, to make more money and invest in and pay for his obsession to get people to Mars. We must stop him, he is divisive and poisons the well of democracies. Just because he believes he can run the world by manipulating everyone doesn’t mean we should let him. Spoilt child.

      translation:

      “yeah, we are also racists and fascists, but Robinson says the quiet part a little bit too loud”

    29. ChaosKeeshond on

      Calling Tommy Robinson an ‘anti-immigration activist’ is like calling the Austrian painter a ‘demographic reformist’.

    30. Richeh on

      The senior politicians of the right wing have the most to fear from Farage and Robinson.

      Maybe they could take number ten and maybe they couldn’t. But they sure as hell could cannibalize the right wing out from under the Tory party.

    31. MarkAnchovy on

      Musk is a dangerous maniac. This person is now a representative of the US government and is calling the British Prime Minister a Nazi stormtrooper and trying to drum up pressure for a democratic election to be overturned. Absolute sub-gutter politics and anyone who supports this should feel great shame.

    32. Dankamonius on

      Even Nigel Farage has purposefully spent years distancing himself from extremists like Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, you’ll notice he’s been uncharacteristically silent on the issue.

    33. Major-Philosopher223 on

      The only way to make him know he’s gone to far is to actually punish him. Nobody seems to have the balls to do that. Wealth worshiping twats slavishly obeying a pinata full of untapped money just begging to be taxed.
