Some twit posts on Facebook: ‘jail! And death is what you truly deserve!’
Musk tries to destroy democracy: ‘well, it’s a complex area and we want to prioritise free speech’
The Police and Crown Prosecution Service doing their ‘one rule for you and one for the rich’ routine.
I genuinely feared for Jess Phillips’ life after his post about her
I’m sure reform politicians will be outraged at the government upsetting the Musk gravy train for them
People are being paid to read what Musk writes on X? Can I have that job? Seems like one of the easiest jobs in the world.
There are things which the UK government can do on a global scale, that Musk cannot.
Meh.
World’s richest man, going to be a part of Trump closest team, and keeps posting stuff that could have an effect on the UK. We probably should be monitoring it.
He clearly wants to turn himself into some sort of Bond villain.
The Home Office can prevent someone from entering the UK if their presence is not considered conducive to the public good. Might be time to draw some lines in the sand.
And all of his associates I assume? Shame they weren’t doing this throughout the Brexit referendum when we had a cross-Party British political movement touting for business from an ex-nark, regime-change operation with the Cambridge Analytica & Facebook collaboration.
Too little. Too late. The ‘five eyes’ are a f’kin joke at this point when it comes to protecting the West from the rise of radical domestic authoritarianism.
Let’s just call musk what he is – a stochastic terrorist.
Don’t monitor him. Just ban twatter in this country. The collective IQ of the country will probably go up when you do. Then he’ll rage for a while and then capitulate.
no doubt the edgelord thrives on such attention lol
I stated on [another Reddit post](https://www.reddit.com/r/unitedkingdom/comments/1huv8d6/comment/m5oex87/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) that under the CPS guidance, Musk meets the literal definition to be labeled as a terrorist and as such he should be considered a threat but got accused of hysteria at the notion that based on his prior activity (online and off) he could possibly be such.
I’m glad that the security services are at least treating this seriously (even if MPs at least in public aren’t willing to speak out) considering between him and Trump they’ve made militeristic threats against Nato nations (and as Musk has signficant power over various communication channels it should be treated seriously).
