    Elon is so dumb, he doesn’t even know the difference between the UK and the US.

    He will transition into a despot and warmonger next, and then move into weapons. Lot of money to be made there.

    Sounds like exactly the guy you want owning a huge societal discussion platform and developing brain interfaces.

    Yeah of course he says that because he’s a moron.

    War where these moocs wouldn’t last 5 minutes, they have practically been defeated already. Collectively they have the intellect of a mole, and inevitably most of them are already known to the police.

    Also the UK famously doesn’t allow its random citizens to have guns. Obviously gun control laws work because there were no guns at the riots, if there was going to be any guns anyway, that’s where they would be.

    The assailant is British-born. The protests in the streets is nothing but fueled by thuggery and racism.

      So, every right wing protest?

        I don’t live in the UK, but here in Ireland, genuine concerns-- primarily on housing-- is piggybacked by the far-right to further their own agenda.

          And that agenda? Guessing thuggery and racism.

          Specifically for the UK, shitheels like Tommy Robinson are 100% just using racism for his ‘protests’.

      One of the most powerful rallying images for racists is the “foreigner” raping/killing “their” innocent white women. It was fertile ground for a disinfo campaign. It triggers a runaway emotional response in some susceptible people. The web agitators already tested this when something similar happened in Germany and Sweden.

    If you’re still on Twitter, you’re part of this problem. If you have a Tesla, sell it. You can live without Starlink too. And do you really need that new Mars rocket?

      They’re all easy to avoid giving money to. That said, all of those things would be much improved, virtually overnight, if he were to just… spontaneously combust. (Or, even less probable, seek psychological help.)

      It’s amazing how much damage a few men (Putin, Trump, Musk…) are allowed to do. History indicates this has always been the case, but at least we didn’t have a live feed of their every deranged thought or desperate cry for attention.

      Seriously. We have Mastodon now. Any government or corporation can run their own instance and have their own official servers that aren’t subject to the whims of this fucking lunatic.

    Civil war is inevitable just like COVID would be over by April 2019 and that humans would set foot on Mars in 2024 (they better hurry up.)

    This website keeps track of all the stupid bullshit Elon has predicted:

          Way too many. And way too many powerful ones. All they see is dollar signs.

            I mean, they do exist, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a single digit percentage. When he gets invited to speak on things the vibe is more that he’s human clickbait than anything.

      Yeah I feel a bit more optimistic for the future now that this clampit has voiced his shitty wet dream.

        Yeah, I look at it as inevitable but I’m also aware I’m a terminally online weirdo in a lefty echo chamber who should keep his thoughts mostly anonymous.

      Covid didn’t even start until like October 2019, and didn’t reach America until February 2020.

      The world didn’t even know that word in April 2019.

        Website says:

        Close to Zero New Cases

        [Link]

        • 1,601 days since Elon Musk predicted that Coronoavirus would vanish soon in the US to justify keeping Tesla’s factories open. (3/19/2020)

        “Based on current trends, probably close to zero new cases in US too by end of April”

        Elon Musk in a Tweet

        Children Immune

        [Link]

        • 1,601 days since Elon Musk assured parents that children were basically immune to coronavirus. (3/19/2020)

        “Kids are essentially immune, but elderly with existing conditions are vulnerable.”

        Elon Musk in a Tweet

        Just the Flu

        [Link]

        • 1,649 days since Elon Musk said Coronavirus would be similar to the flu. (1/31/2020)

        “There is considerable conflation of diagnosis & contraction of “corona”. Actual virality is much lower than it would seem. I think this will turn out to be comparable to other forms of influenza.”

    Wait, the UK is the one on the brink of civil war? Yeah, that’s dumb even by his standards. Stop reading shitty conspiracy blogs, Elon. If there was a child trafficking cabal you’d already be in it.

        Let’s not get into the fact he’s worth more than the GDP of most nations and has more international impact, or that he’s an American citizen commenting on British politics and being reacted to officially by Britain.
