Summary
Elon Musk labeled Britain a “tyrannical police state” on X, criticized Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s leadership, and questioned the imprisonment of far-right activist Tommy Robinson.
Musk’s comments coincide with his role as a key adviser to Trump, raising concerns in the U.K. about its relationship with the incoming administration.
Musk also criticized Starmer’s policies, including increased farm inheritance taxes, and boosted far-right content on X.
This follows similar clashes with other U.S. allies, including Germany and Australia, over their domestic policies.
Jesus Christ Russia have absolutely nailed this part of their geopolitical play.
They’ve basically got 2 members of, if not an entire, US government under their thumb, they’ve corrupted the EU to make one of their major contributors to leave (thinking the US is on their side, idiotically), and they’ve got good relations with the other superpower (china).
Annoyingly, it looks like the EU which is the most, even if not enough, “for the people” political establishment in our world today is going to get screwed over the next decade or so.
He had me on the first half
He’s got such a hate boner for Kier Starmer that I’m kind of intrigued. Starmer is the most boring, beaurocratic politician you can find. I can’t understand what’s triggered this latest Musk mania.
He’s a prosecutor who apparently can’t be bought.
That’s far more dangerous to a billionaire than a firebrand.
If Starner only delivers a non-corrupt legal system it’ll be an incredible win for the Country. But I do think he needs 10 years in office so he should focus on actually winning the next election.
White, rich guy from apartheid South Africa accuses country of tyranny after it locks up a person white supremacists look up to.
Hmm. Hmmmm.
I’m so tired of this guy.
He’s a Russian asset that holds U.S. military contracts. yay
Just wait until he uses DOGE to gut NASA and gets more contracts for SpaceX.
I think he’d be more likely to fund more NASA projects since they contract it out to SpaceX anyway.
NASA does a lot. He wants all their funding.
It’s likely going to be a bit of both.
It would be extremely convenient for Muskrat if NASA no longer had the engineering budget to design their own rockets while simultaneously having a higher budget for private contractors.
It would be extremely easy to sell the idea to people who don’t look past the raw numbers, too. Frame it as though NASA is spending $400 million on projects that have already been done by the private sector and propose half of it gets reallocated to contracting and the other half gets cut to lower expenses. Musk sycophants will praise him for being a genius, MAGA morons will congratulate him on being “efficient” and fixing the economy, and he’ll have his nice little oligarchy just like he wanted.
Definitely. He’ll try to get SLS cancelled because he owns its competitor.
The only thing Elon wants that NASA does is Mars.
Elon is a threat to humanity.
He’s trying to build starships. He’s a threat to the galaxy.
He has already started littering space with scrapped vehicles.
Next star trek series, they gonna find the Tesla floating out there.
Clown wants to stay relevant, so tries to turn everything around him into a circus. Dipshit.
It’s really annoying how this guy never complains about what actual autocracies are doing; never a peep complaining about the times they ask for things to be removed from Twitter. Just hand wringing about needing to follow the law to operate in those places. Hypocrite
Welcome to politics, there’s all sorts going on that we know nothing about that will influence who says what about whom, when and why. Hypocrisy is irrelevant to these people. He’s just influencing.
Someone just bitchslap that cunt, please.
He is doing Russian dirty work
accusation, confession
We should ban this guy’s propaganda site.
All the people taking this lightly, wildly underestimate the effect the richest man in the world has on public discourse. This guy is taking heads of state to task, threatening democracy.
I hope he trips up and gets X banned… but we need to be way more radical in protecting our democracy.
I hate that this piece of shit is so young…
I’m going to have to wait a lonnnnnng time to piss on his grave :(
I would say hopefully his diet will kill him but then we have the likes of trump
The dude basically lives on cocaine and a plethora of other drugs from what I’ve heard.
Kim Jong-Musk beating the drum, undermining democracy wherever he can
Elon Twitler.
Helen Mosque
Well, he’s 50% right about that, for the wrong reasons
Even an evil idiot can be accidentally right.
Very apt that these two things were so close to each other.
