Summary
Elon Musk has called on King Charles III to dissolve the UK Parliament, citing past controversies involving Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the Rotherham Scandal.
Musk accused Starmer of inaction during his tenure as head of the Crown Prosecution Service and urged a new general election, drawing backlash for spreading misinformation.
Critics argue that the monarchy lacks the unilateral power to dissolve Parliament under the 2022 Dissolution and Calling of Parliament Act.
Musk’s growing political involvement globally, including support for right-wing parties, has sparked calls for regulation against foreign interference.
Plus, he still has control of one of the leading social media networks. And that network still (inexplicably and frustratingly) had a lot of influence on people, and thus on Western politics.
