Given his role in the upcoming cabinet, it’s no doubt going to be very cost-efficient and won’t increase the size of either government
I genuinely can’t believe what is happening. What timeline are we living in?
Maybe it’s time we designated Musk as a terrorist?
I genuinely can’t believe what is happening
Then you should pay more attention to history…
And I don’t mean that as an insult, all this shit is reruns of shit we’ve already been thru. WW2 had a large push by wealthy American businessmen to not just abstain from the war, but they advocated for joining the Axis back then.
Capitalism and fascism go hand in hand, the ultra wealthy will always want fascism because fascist leaders love bomb them to get their wealth and power behind the movement.
We all need to understand this shit so we can understand what worked last time and why it didn’t work permanently
Only this time its: Whoops! All Axis!
And my Axis
Don’t we have any Axisn’t left? :(
Fascism cannot exist without capitalism. Capital is what supports and strengthens fascism - the idea that business is more important than the people. This sounds like how the world has always been but it wasn’t until the 60s, at least in the US, when the business leaders wanted to stop unions, make more money, stop the possibilities of environmentalists from hurting profits, etc. The pushback from the people in the 60s spawned the Civil Rights and threatened to derail the business first approach America had gotten used to from after the Depression. The war years gave too much money and power to too few people and things like the Business Plot simmered under the surface of our grandparents’ generation. Two generations of propaganda that made social and community based governing sound villainous has brought us to a full on fascist revolution slow burning through wealthy democracies.
There’s a lot of details in there that are wrong, but I’ll touch on the part that’s UK relevant since this is a UK sub:
The pushback from the people in the 60s spawned the Civil Rights and threatened to derail the business first approach America had gotten used to from after the Depression. The war years gave too much money and power to too few peopl
The big driver of the civil rights movement in America was the treatment of Black soldiers in WW2, the English and especially the French didn’t give a fuck what color an American soldier was, they just cared they were killing Nazis.
For a Black man from the American South in the 1940s, the tiniest but of basic human decency was unknown from a white person. But they quickly got used to the idea that all men were born equal, regardless of the color of their skin.
So when they came back, they refused to go back to being treated worse for the color of their skin.
This might be the best thing I’ve read from you yet, cheers
Surely there’s only troll bots and right wing psychopaths left on twitter? I’m surprised it’s not 100% yes
If in the next decade Ruzzia and America form an AXIS like alliance to take over more territory I won’t be surprised.
Meanwhile he’s fine with Putin, even has chats over the phone with him.
…never seen him tweet anything vad about gim infact.
Why would he talk bad about one of the few people in the world that’s richer than he is?

Michael.
Donkey!
Wow, the Nazis (and bots) that remain on Twitter agree with their Nazi leader, I’m so surprised!
Nah, you are OK, thanks.
Right, because his tyranny will be so much better for us! 🙄
Absolute masterpiece of an example of how the narrative of a question is equally as important.
Neither Yes or No are a good answer here.
Elon Musk should jam soup cans up his ass till they come out his mouth.
✅ Yes 100%
⏹️ No 0%
No he should be spitroasted by soup cans til they burst out his barrel gut
Just kill the riotseeker, for fucks sake
Why hasn’t anyone tried to off him yet?
Elon Musk should shove cactuses up his ass utill he cant fit any more.
✅ Yes 100%
❌ No 0%
How long till the results are calculated?
Wonder-bombs will once more reign over London.
Maybe they’ll bring some friendly bombs for Slough.
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.
Maybe willingly telling the guy steamrolling towards the 1984 timeline exactly who is against him isn’t the best idea?
Can we turn all the lights off and pretend nobody’s home when they come knocking? We’ll definitely hear them coming.
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?”
Publicly owned railway? Hold on there Thatcher!
The labour gov is pretty much planning to nationalise rail again.
All contracts as they expire will be replaced with co ops or a new nationalised company. By 2027 apparently.
So yep public owned rail again.
Not rolling stock, though.
The current leeches don’t even own the trains.
True.
But as much as I hated privatisation.
If owning the trains was required. Then sort term contracts would be impossible.
Making what labour is doing now, as expensive as the more right wing keep falsely claiming.
So we sorta have some gratitude that the tories never required the same companies to own the rolling stock as run it. But instead sold it to banks requiring them to rent it.
Trump could be soliciting bribes by threatening people as well, but musk is the one giving him directions.
“Oh yeah, Canada will pay up just yell some shit about invading.”
Musk is under Putin’s thumb and Britain is one of the leading supporters of Ukraine.
Yep also China has a hold on musk economically. And supports Russia.
Russia has managed to gain a hold on the US again. (Reminding folks about his illegal holding of Ukraine funds last time)
The UK is by far the next most vocal supporter.
