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.
Set date for a ‘LONDON TEslA PARTY’ and throw all those shitty cars into harbor!
The ocean is already polluted enough, I suggest dissolving them in acid.
As a Brit I think Elon Musk should fuck off meddling in ours and other countries politics.
I also think that King Charles should dissolve the monarchy as it’s sickening to have such a thing in 2025.
People often say but tourism. The fact is France gets many more visitors a year than Britain and they got rid of their monarchy. We could make more turning Buckingham Palace into a bougie hotel for instance.

He illegally immigrated into the US, it’s quite literally his MO
Can you tour bukingham palace?
Small sections.
As an American (and ashamed of it), can we give Elongated Muskrat back to South Africa?
I don’t think that’d be very fair to South Africans.
So, technically, the monarchy signed over the majority of executive power to Parliament with the Parliament Act 1911 which gives authority over taxation and budgets to Parliament.
But bills do also technically still require Royal Assent, which has not been withheld since 1708.
So… the Crown COULD try to force an impasse where nothing can pass without their approval, but then Parliament COULD make the Crown live off canned beans.
Can someone get Lord Sugar drunk and have him express a similar view about the US?
“err, hic the unites, uniting, united states should separism, seapar, separate the head of state role from the, ,uhh, head of government. They can have gonger, er, congress appoint a cereminimum, er ceremonial head of state with reserve powers to dissolve congress… burp”
I think King Charles should instead order Elon Musk dissolved.
I seem to recall doing such things to be unwise for kings named Charles
It’s a mixed bag actually. Charles 2 did it successfully but only because he essentially had a popular mandate to do so. (Parliament kept trying to do an Inquisition of Catholics, and people were unamused.)
James 2 tried to follow that act and was deposed in 3 years. So mileage may vary.
Let’s dissolve them both in a vat of acid
We need another Luigi
If someone luigi’d musk the US and the entire world would be better off. Somebody else can run his companies, probably do a better job, and not be an asshole while doing it.
The US might legit get worse unless there were several near-simultaneous Luigi events. We have a bad habit of using those types of situations to just increase big brother’s overwatch and create more privacy/freedom invasions against the populous.
That said, if the US gets worse at the safety of everyone else’s democracy… I’m willing to take that sacrifice.
People miss this point. There’s hundreds, if not thousands of people in similar positions of using wealth to “influence” politics. They will use any event as an excuse to tighten the security state.
As far as money goes, (according to the Forbes top list) Elon musk is by far the wealthiest individual in the states. Musk is at $244B and the next up is Bezos at $197B. There is a $47 billion gap between #1 and #2 in that list. And one of them is using their money for political gain much more than the others. The rat literally bought an entire social media platform to spew his own personal propaganda. The same rat who was on stage with Trump, and guess what, is now one of his top advisors. The ultra wealthy have invested insane amounts into political campaigns, but Musk is on another level.
Yes. Every single ordinary person would benefit from it.
We need thousands of them.
The more they will try to screw us over, the more people will resist.
It seems they’re pushing society in a direction where more and more people will have nothing left to lose. Might be inevitable, how long it takes is the question.
It seems they’re pushing society in a direction where more and more people will have nothing left to lose.
That’s just the negative side effect (negative for them) of pushing society in a direction people will have nothing. But it’s inevitable, and it’s proof that the big capitalist lie based on infinite “growth” and exploitation will never work in the long term.

Nah. Just quietly file a secret indictment and arrest warrant against Musk. Inevitably he’ll forget about it and move on. Then a few years later, gallivanting about the world like billionaires do, he’ll step foot in Britain on some random business. That’s when you grab him. Arrest him then and put him on trial for violating various espionage and foreign interference laws.
The yanks are pissed about this guy too. The problem is his boy won the election so nothing’s going to happen on the official side for 4 years unless he falls out of favor.

The US could wipe Holland off the map in a couple days without even leveraging it’s entire military.
Removed by mod
Yeah, because they were trying to nationbuild. if they had just decided to glass afghanistan (which is within their power to do) then they wouldnt have lost
Whereas every Dutch person I’ve ever met knows the difference between “its” and “it’s”.
Despite English not being their first (and often not even their second or third) language.
Still, you carry on flexing about wiping bits of countries off the map, petal. It makes you look manly and cool.
You have misunderstood my comment.
My point was that ANT_EEY_ANKS was essentially calling the Dutch pussies for not suicideing themselves.
The Dutch bombing New York would be suicide
I am not American, I have nothing to flex about here.
But please, keep pointing out errant apostrophes rather than actually dealing with the subject in question. it definitely doesn’t make you look like a pedant bore
I am a pedant bore!
People don’t care. The context lets you know which it is.
Carry on being wrong and looking like an ill-educated dullard then!
I’m not sure anyone is really in control of Elon and many Americans would be happy if he just went away.
The problem is that level of wealth should not be in anyone’s hand. Elon is demonstrating why, but Elon shouldn’t have been allowed to get into this position.
Just another Englishman with illusions of grandeur about the British economy and what it would mean for international commerce to avoid his tiny islands.

Lots of discounted high tech military equipment that the UK gets from the nature of the “special relationship” between the two countries. For example
KS-1 Rifle, Barrett M82, M2 Browning, Remington Model 870, Claymore mines, FGM-148 Javelin anti-tank system. The MRAP Cougar, M270 launch rocket system, M1070 transport system, various different MTVRs, Apache attack helicopters, Desert Hawk III UAV, Switchblades, and much much more
The UK would also lose their top export market (accounting for more than 2x the exports they send to the next runner up, Germany) and their 2nd largest import market (65B pounds to Germany’s 75B pounds)
Reality is the UK made their choice. They want to be in the bed with the US. Whatever Washington says, they’ll do. And that means more economic integration and more military integration.
Removed by mod
Ah, so useless war equipment that actively makes the world a worse place.
Great job US.
i agree with you but the UK definitely doesn’t
Can he please stop sticking his nose where it doesn’t belong. Being a US president isn’t enough. He wants to be the German chancellor and British PB now, too?
I think you meant British PM. Although I’ll take PB if it was for Prime Bastard.
Autocorrection but let’s say it was deliberate.
Best thing chuck can do is ignore the gnat until it gets near enough to swat
I urge the US electorate to dissolve Elon Musk in a vat of acid
Bleach. Preferably warm. Basic solutions are better at dissolving fatty tissues.
Basic problems require basic solutions
Lye.
Has the benefit of making soap, so he’d finally be useful for something.
We would truly love to.
Telling a king what to do sounds like a quick way to end up on the dungeon wall.
This… IS… UNACCEPTABLE! 10 YEARS DUNGEON!
One can pray.
He’s looking for precident.
If they can say, look, they did it, we can too. Well now youve got an invitation to snag all the power you can.
Its projection.
Critics argue that the monarchy lacks the unilateral power to dissolve Parliament under the 2022 Dissolution and Calling of Parliament Act.
Is that what “critics” argue about?
How about the massive South African white elephant in the room:Why the fuck should Charles even acknowledge Musk’s noises?
They’re manufacturing consent for the plutocracy — that has always owned politics — instead of doing what one would expect in a democracy… bringing in a psychiatrist to explain the mental illness indicators Musk is very obviously displaying.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he has a brain tumor. He’s obviously fucked in the head in many more ways than one, and none of them are “normal”.
Too much money, like Michael Jackson and so many others.
Boatloads of drugs and yesmen too.
You can’t blame the drugs lots of high people not interfering with another countries government calling for fascism.
Well do the usual drug enjoyer have the possibility to interfere in foreign politics?
I’m pretty sure you’d be surprised about the “adults” you wouldn’t think who are out there enjoying drugs.
He’s obviously fucked in the head in many more ways than one
Aren’t all leaders?
For politicians, it takes a particular mindset to think you’re the solution to other people’s problems and run for any election. I instantly distrust people who thrust themselves in the limelight and propose to rule others for their own good.
As for CEO’s, it’s very well known that a disturbing percentage of them display psychopathic traits.
I urge anyone with a bathtub full of acid to dissolve Elon Musk. It can also be an oil drum instead of a bathtub, or something else. I’m not too picky for that matter.
He does seem to want to spread his genetics far and wide, what better way than explosives? (/s)
I’m good with anything, really. As long as the end result is the same.
