Elon Musk asks if America should 'liberate the people of Britain' in tirade against UK government
The tech billionaire and key advisor to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has taken to social media to air his grievances with the British government.
"Rich asshole with inflated ego acts like rich asshole with inflated ego, more at 10"
Everybody continues to listen to him.
Just because we hear him doesn't mean we're all listening.
Maybe someone should liberate the people of the USA
I'm sympathizing with Ye Wenjie (Three-Body Problem) a lot more lately.
Totally. Can we start shooting radio waves at the sun, just to see what happens!?
Should have dealt with Russia first. Now we're blessed with the vicious-idiot tagteam of Fascist Imperialist Russia, and Corpo-Fascist imperialist? america tag-teaming.
The U.K. and the E.U. are gonna have to figure out something to do against Musk, because now that the U.S. has fallen Musk and the rest of the manosphere are focusing their attention to supporting far-right groups abroad. Personally, I think banning Xitter is the easiest and most effective first step for them to take, as it will greatly limit Musk's ability to control social discourse in these countries.
As an American and former soldier, fuck no. Why should any American spend their life "liberating" a country that is arguably freer than we are?
Because it's not liberating, it's conquering for corporate interests.
I mean it would be nice to fight in a country that has an actual winter though...
the world needs to be liberated from muski
UK should declare him an enemy of the state w/a standing arrest warrant with talk like that. Would serve him right to never be allowed over their airspace again.
We can dream, though I'm sure the PM is a coward and won't do anything as drastic as that.
It sounds to me like Musk, acting as a goverents representative, is making wild threats against our allies. Maybe he's trying to sew division between us and our allies to help Russia and China?
Obviously
I'm already so sick of these jackasses and they aren't even in office yet.
Better take this seriously or musk will instruct his underling to send in the us military.
Casually suggesting an act of war against a nuclear armed country to own the libs.
Musk should read about the British nuclear doctrine before making further jokes. (TLDR, It's a system similar to the dead hand, except its not automated, even if the state falls, the nuclear subs are still out there prowling with their final orders)
Yup, that's a pretty standard feature of all nuclear armed nations. The final order of all missile forces is launch with pre-programmed targets. It's one of the reasons strategists think it's very likely that a single nuclear strike on a nuclear power could cause a chain reaction of everyone launching nukes.
He’s part of the incoming government, why isn’t this a declaration of war?
The EU & UK should ban all future sales of any of his products and companies he is tied too. The the companies can sue the shit out of Musk when they kick him to the curb.
A declaration of war requires an act of Congress.
I'm starting an office pool, who's going to lose their life first. Musk, or Trump.
Sovereignty is nothing to joke about, the more you push your jokes, the more people will take it as a threat. and a threat to sovereignty is something people will absolutely kill over.
I doubt it'll end in anything other than a disaster for Musk eventually, but he's going to do a lot of damage in the meantime.
Trump probably bites it first though, because of his age if nothing else.
Who liberates the people from the oligarchic corruption?
Just disable X in the UK and thus remove his hate platform.
And I would not mind if Europe followed this move.
Why doesn't ihe gov't of South Africa liberate the people of Britain? Why would America need to do it? Fuck you Elon.
Fuck off ya prick.
Napoleonic vibes
So he is trolling using a Twitter bot and everyone is angry? Mission accomplished.
I mean, yes, after we do it at home first.
I think it is high time to liberate the world from X-
What we need liberating from is Elon. Man acts like he's the new Jesus, when in reality he's a fanatical narcissist who used immense generstional wealth to cheat his way to the top on the shoulders of true innovators, whom he kicked out once their start-ups got successful enough
