Didn't he make an offer and then regret it and try to sabotage the deal but Twitter accepted anyway?
incitement to violence?
Or just being an absolute wanker.
If that alone were a crime, we'd all be in trouble. But Elon would be first in line.
Hey, I'd go down if I knew he'd go down with me.
Yep. Until the UK issues a warrant for his arrest, this is going to continue
Think they're going to need more than a strongly worded letter.
At least they didn't tweet it.
It’s almost as if letting someone have virtually unlimited power shouldn’t be allowed.
It's almost as if this is letting someone have virtually unlimited power, because this isn't opposing him in any serious or significant way.
Strongly painted picture?
Ah, well, as long as they ask the hyper wealthy openly fascist nicely.. 🙄
Brings a quote to mind:
"Only one thing could have stopped us – if our adversaries had, from the first day, smashed with the utmost brutality the nucleus of our movement.” - Hitler
At this point - "calls" such as this are nothing but bare faced mockery of the seriousness of the threat he and those he funds and influences, pose.
Oh, “UK government”. You sweet summer children.
Why doesn't the UK government grow some fucking balls and simply ban the entire platform?
Oh-wait-you're-serious.gif
Elon? Act responsibly? These people know who they're talking to, right?
Feudal Lord Musk will do as he pleases.
Good luck trying to arrest him, with his amount of money he can perfectly give a flying fuck about it.
