Wonder what's behind the active soldier using The Tesla outside Trump's Hotel to commit suicide.

America such a wonderful place

This is the first time in human civilisation that one person has the ability to influence so many people on a global scale literally at the click of a button.

In and of itself this ability isn’t good or bad. It depends on how it’s used.

And of course, it’s being used by a megalomaniac billionaire to cause disruption, division and fanning the flames of hatred.

Another aspect of this is that it is increasingly oversimplifying what are complex political, economical, legal and ethical issues. Everything is “us v them”. The latest example being this absurd idea that you either support Tommy Robinson or you’re an apologist for rape. Just look at the comments all over Twitter. It’s stupidity of the highest order and it’s completely normalised.

It also falsely insinuates that complex topics have easy solutions that are being prevented from being implemented due to conspiracies by whichever “side” the likes of Musk decide are the bad guys. None of this is particularly original or even clever but the difference now is that this rubbish can be spread to hundreds of millions of people (possibly billions?) extremely easily.

It’s as tedious as it is dangerous.
This stuff just takes advantage of the deliberate dumbing down of the education system removing critical thinking. If there's one thing we should fix it is that.

It does show that Musk isn't the 5d megamind some would have us believe. As big a c**t as Nige is, he is Reform and the reason they did as well as they did last election. Little Tommy ain't replacing Furrage any time soon. Sorry, Elon.

What if he doesn’t actually believe all this and he’s just Dohnut WUMing but on a massive scale?

The whole thing is wildly erratic and outright absurd. It makes me think that it’s all a big distraction from something else that Musk really doesn’t want people looking into. Like, there’s absolutely no chance Musk is going to force a general election in the UK. So what’s the point of all this? It has to be a big old dead cat.

Come to think of it, has anyone ever seen president biz and Musk in the same place?

Depends what you mean by believe all this.

Does he really want an(other) enquiry into the grooming gang scandal to win justice for the victims? Course not. Is he interested in seeing global politics continue to sink to the right to preserve his multi billionaire status? Of course he is.

He’s at risk of losing $424,000,000,000 if he doesn’t promote Nationalist politicians and activists over people like Starmer and Kamala Harris?

Interesting take

He kept Saints in the Premier League for many years and they reached a FA Cup final under his chairmanship

A big problem for him amongst the Reform core voters though is that he took Southampton into Europe

You’re giving him far too much credit.

Yes, he’s desperate for attention, but there’s nothing lighthearted about it. It’s pathological — the man is falling apart.

He’s also not as bright as he/his admirers think he is

He’s the owner of X so isn’t he just driving traffic through X with his inane uterrings. You don’t normally hear hide nor hair of CEO’s until you read about there multi million pound salaries so I guess he’s doing his job.

Some say Nationalists, others might say far-right racists.

Musk isn't the genius some have him down as, but he's not daft - he knows he and his kind can't keep on hoovering up all of the worlds resources indefinitely. At some point, there will be pushback.

And he risks losing $424,000,000,000 from his net worth if he doesn’t promote these voices over Starmer and Kamala Harris?
