Elon Musk shared a fake Telegraph article claiming Keir Starmer was considering sending far-right rioters to “emergency detainment camps” in the Falklands.

Musk deleted his post after about 30 minutes but a screenshot captured by Politics.co.uk suggests it had garnered nearly two million views before it was deleted.

In it, Musk shared the image posted by the co-leader of the far-right group Britain First, Ashlea Simon, which she captioned with, “we’re all being deported to the Falklands”.

    The persecution fetish conservatives have is just incredible.

    Well, I guess when you’re a psychopathic narcissist it’s hard to imagine that everybody else isn’t one too, so it’s understandable that they think we want to put them in concentration camps because that’s what they want to do to us.

      If their leaders say that someone else was going to do something to them, then it makes it acceptable when those leaders do those things to the people they said were going to do the thing to them. Easy way to make atrocities seem reasonable. Same thing they do with labeling people “terrorists”. If you think someone is trying to horribly murder you, then when your leaders torture them, it seems ok.

            In 3001 (sequel to 2001) they were able to revive Frank Poole. And in three body problem they thought they could revive just his head — I’m NOT taking any chances!!

        The issue is that reasonable people become irrational with anonymity and the culture Musk has built up on X feeds right into that. I think X is a social danger that people are unable to safely consume without being extremized.

      It’s like when people say “no offense but” and then continue with something offensive. Just because you say no offense, it doesn’t make it not offensive.

      The government in the UK should buy some space in the Sun and publish an article how the convicted pedophile Musk is found to have a torture chamber in the German Tesla factory and that kind of shit. When Musk inevitably goes ballistic just say it was a joke, then repeat.

                Dude… That was the whole point from the beginning, the Musk being shat on thing is fake, just like the news he’s sharing, why should we refrain from doing to him the same thing he’s doing to others?

                  Although I support that position, it wasn’t obviously a joke because no part of that would surprise me if it happened in reality.

      It’s based on creating the same kind of environment that exists in Russia. Everything is fake, nothing is real, everyone lies.

      It’s really easy to control people when they feel that objective truths are no longer possible.
