    If you’re still on Twitter, you’re part of this problem. If you have a Tesla, sell it. You can live without Starlink too. And do you really need that new Mars rocket?

      Never had any of those but I still get subjected to tales of this idiot’s latest brainfart on a daily basis.

      Seriously. We have Mastodon now. Any government or corporation can run their own instance and have their own official servers that aren’t subject to the whims of this fucking lunatic.

      They’re all easy to avoid giving money to. That said, all of those things would be much improved, virtually overnight, if he were to just… spontaneously combust. (Or, even less probable, seek psychological help.)

      It’s amazing how much damage a few men (Putin, Trump, Musk…) are allowed to do. History indicates this has always been the case, but at least we didn’t have a live feed of their every deranged thought or desperate cry for attention.

    He will transition into a despot and warmonger next, and then move into weapons. Lot of money to be made there.

    Sounds like exactly the guy you want owning a huge societal discussion platform and developing brain interfaces.

        Quickly the robots are invading, walk away at a brisk pace, or you’ll never escape.

    It’s a real shame that lawmakers seem squarely focused on sinophobia, because X should absolutely be skewered just as hard as TikTok if a hostile beast like Musk is at the helm.

    We don’t have enough firearms in private hands evenly distributed to have a civil war you fucking nepo-silverspoon-lollipop!

    Maybe you should be looking at your own country for that and I wonder where the nutjobs are that would kickstart that would hear their misinformed reason? I’ll give you a clue, it used to rhyme with Shitter!

      The protests in the streets is nothing but fueled by thuggery and racism.

      So, every right wing protest?

        I don’t live in the UK, but here in Ireland, genuine concerns-- primarily on housing-- is piggybacked by the far-right to further their own agenda.

          And that agenda? Guessing thuggery and racism.

          Specifically for the UK, shitheels like Tommy Robinson are 100% just using racism for his ‘protests’.

      One of the most powerful rallying images for racists is the “foreigner” raping/killing “their” innocent white women. It was fertile ground for a disinfo campaign. It triggers a runaway emotional response in some susceptible people. The web agitators already tested this when something similar happened in Germany and Sweden.

    Wait, the UK is the one on the brink of civil war? Yeah, that’s dumb even by his standards. Stop reading shitty conspiracy blogs, Elon. If there was a child trafficking cabal you’d already be in it.

    A lot of those on the right are pushing violence and civil war hard as if they are going to capitalize on it. Oligarchs and Nazis have been trying to install their preferred government since the 1930s. They twist the Bible and patriotism into blasphemous perversions to get a desperate and fearful underclass to join in, but they too will end up in the Nazi work camps. People are not taught about the plot to seize the White House in schools because the rich control what is taught in schools. Every person should read about Major General Smedley Butler, the one they wanted to install as dictator and the greatest Marine ever but he is nearly erased from history because he stood up to the rich folks.
