Tech boss was addressing the ‘unite the kingdom’ protest organised by Tommy Robinson via video link

Elon Musk has called for a “dissolution of parliament” and a “change of government” in the UK while addressing the crowd attending the “unite the kingdom” rally, organised by the far-right activist Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, known as Tommy Robinson.

The X owner, who dialled in via a video link and spoke to Robinson while thousands of attenders watched along, also railed against the “woke mind virus” and told the crowd that “violence is coming” and that “you either fight back or you die”.

Speaking at the rally, he said: “I really think that there’s got to be a change of government in Britain. You can’t – we don’t have another four years, or whenever the next election is, it’s too long. Something’s got to be done. There’s got to be a dissolution of parliament and a new vote held.”

Doesn't anyone ever make the connection that BILLIONAIRES SHOULDN'T EXIST

I don't mean kill the person or assassinate them .... just separate them from their money. The idea of someone owning and controlling so much money and wealth is only detrimental to the rest of humanity.

Get rid of excessive wealth and you will solve 99.9% of the world's problems. It won't create a utopia but it would be a hell of a lot better world than what we have now.

We know it can be done and that it works because that was how it was done when things did work, in the post-war years until the 1970s. Anything over an obscene amount was taxed at 90%, and wealth taxes at inheritance would take large chunks of generational wealth above obscene levels.

[–] cecilkorik@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 day ago

I love you, fellow champion of rational thought. Their money only exists by mutual consent. Their ownership of things only exists by mutual consent. We can revoke our consent. They have built many systems, of government, of policing, around us and around them to protect their money and ownership, but at the end of the day, even these systems are powered by people and only exist by mutual consent. Their defenses require us to be willing to fight each other, that is why they work so hard to keep us willing to fight each other. If we stop fighting each other for long enough, we might just realize they are simply frightened, selfish human individuals just like any of the rest of us. They may be billionaires, but they are not gods, we just cower before them and their systems as if they were.

We can change this, if we work together, instead of against each other.

Stochastic terrorist Nazi and murderous ketamine junkie suffering from the broke mind virus advocating physical violence is creating his own self-fulfilling prophecy.

Yeah, violence is coming you fuckmook, because you make it necessary.

Firstly, what is this "we?" Did he move to the UK? No? Then why the fuck is he acting like he has a say?

Secondly, he sounds actually deranged based on the quotes. I feel more and more like conservatism should be classified as a mental illness.

[–] sheogorath@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago

He ran out his welcome in the US government and now he's trying to worm his way in to the UK government.

Since he's fine for people calling out for drastic actions in things they have no business in, I'm calling out for psychiatrists to lock Musk up in a padded cell.

He's a foreign fascist interfering in British politics. Shut down all his business operations in Britain and expropriate the assets.

"We'll coup whoever we want! Deal with it!" - actual Elon quote.

I'd imagine there are many ways people might "deal with it", unfortunately for him.

We should make a rule that billionaires are only allowed to destabilize one democratic nation state at a time.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 day ago

If we're in a position to make rules, then it should be about proper dining etiquette while eating them.

~~Tommy Robinson~~

That's the name he took on to come across more blue collar. His real name is:

Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon

Aren't you supposed to be meddling with my country's politics, Musky? Some reason you're afraid to do it in public right now?

[–] AcidiclyBasicGlitch@sh.itjust.works 23 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

Oh that's a great idea. You see how the U.S. government is crumbling and pedophiles are being protected by the people doing it to strip away any chance of justice. And people are being assassinated at oddly convenient time to help the pedophiles and their investment banker friends.

Listen to Elon. The guy who is literally instigating a second civil war for the the U.S. You too can achieve the American dream.

BTW he's on the list!

Musk on foreign leaders admonishing Trump

Foreign interference!

This is totally fine.

The Napoleon complex on Musk is reaching epic proportions.

And just like Napoleon, he wants you to revolt to be crowned emperor afterwards.

Musk and Napoleon aren't nowhere near close enough for comparison. Napoleon had done more good.

Tesla stock too high again?

How is this not screaming fire in a theater...he should not be inciting violence.

Did he misplace his bullet-absorbing children in a ketamine haze and ran off to be a cunt somewhere safer while the violence he helped foment runs its course at home?
