What he wants to do, is fuck the fuck off.

[-] uebquauntbez@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Yay, no X in the UK soon! UK will so be liberated.

[-] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 18 points 2 days ago

Imagine that! Wannabe dictator asking whether or not they should invade a sovereign country! He's truly a good person because he asked his people if they should invade instead of flat out invading!

[-] MrPoletki@feddit.uk 1 points 7 hours ago

see, he is better than putin!

[-] isles@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

And we can trust the reliability of the data, given the sterling reputation of Twitter and Musk himself, of course.

I'm also positive that the pole was representative of the US population as a whole and not just his idiot supporters.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 37 points 2 days ago

My bins weren't collected last week, now we've got snow in them and all the cardboard's all wet and soggy. If that is not evidence of a tyrannical dictatorship, then I don't know what is.

[-] GreatAlbatross@feddit.uk 6 points 2 days ago

Adrian Binnmann will be straight over as soon as you let that nice billionaire run the country.

[-] MrPoletki@feddit.uk 1 points 7 hours ago

YOU WILL NOT DEFEAT THE SNOWMAN BIN OVERLADEN.

[-] madjo@feddit.nl 10 points 1 day ago

I want to liberate Musk's body from his oppressive brain.

[-] sunbeam60@lemmy.one 11 points 2 days ago

I’m a Dane living in the UK. This is beginner level Trump/musk idiocy. Denmark is currently wrestling with the US demanding a piece of their kingdom (and yes, Denmark is a democracy, so using the word kingdom may seem a bit anachronistic, but in this case we are talking about Greenland, which is an autonomous region of the Danish commonwealth, so the official term is “kingdom”)

How long till the results are calculated?

[-] oxideseven@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Why hasn't anyone tried to off him yet?

[-] kittenzrulz123 6 points 2 days ago

Excited to see Elon Musk start paling around with King Charlies and talking about a return to Absolute Monarchy in a few weeks.

[-] mannycalavera@feddit.uk 145 points 3 days ago

I genuinely can't believe what is happening. What timeline are we living in?

Maybe it's time we designated Musk as a terrorist?

[-] letsgo@lemm.ee 36 points 2 days ago

Brit here. What a complete wankpuffin. He should focus on liberating himself from his own stupidity.

[-] Mex@feddit.uk 9 points 2 days ago

"wankpuffin" going to have to use that one.

[-] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

third grade troll

[-] klemptor@startrek.website 8 points 2 days ago

Jesus. Who are the numbnut 62% who chose Yes?

[-] samus12345@lemm.ee 9 points 2 days ago

The people still remaining on X will skew numbnut.

Must have learned his lesson after having his "step down now?" poll go not in his favor.

[-] Sirius006@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

Every person who ever said the word "cuck" in public with zero irony.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

Maybe ~~Putin~~ Musk should launch a special military operation in ~~Ukraine~~ Britain to ~~de-nazify~~ de-tyrranize them. How kind and noble that would be.

[-] rtxn@lemmy.world 62 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

What the fuck is this, an anachronistic parody of 1939? "What if Hitler had Twitter"?

For the sake of the world, I hope whatever brain-eating disease he's contracted acts quickly.

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 6 points 2 days ago

On one hand, fuck that fucking assclown.

On the other hand, my god that would be one hell of a comeback in historical terms: former colony invades and ~~colonizes~~ liberates former rulers

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 7 points 1 day ago

Not that the empire still exists of course, so what you're actually invading is the land that used to belong to a society that no longer exists and a different society is there now and is unhappy about having to deal with this nonsense.

[-] ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk 2 points 1 day ago

How... kind of him... always nice to see the richest man in the world having fuck all to do but shitpost.

[-] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 2 points 1 day ago

So between this and trumps statements on Canada are we getting the commonwealth back together? I could go for another burning down of a white house.

[-] GroundedGator@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago
[-] stellargmite@lemmy.world 27 points 2 days ago

Non American , and non brit here. Why is this waste of energy so interested in the UK and Europe now ? I know there will be plenty of cynical takes which I will probably endorse however I’m interested in what his actual motivation might be. Does he just want parties in power in the given country that he has influence over for the sake of legislative advantage for his businesses? Or is it trollconomics for sake of driving signups to his failing social network I forget the name of?

[-] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

Trump could be soliciting bribes by threatening people as well, but musk is the one giving him directions.

"Oh yeah, Canada will pay up just yell some shit about invading."

[-] thr0w4w4y2@sh.itjust.works 21 points 2 days ago

it’s all a big ploy to give the US bargaining chips when negotiating with the UK for trade agreements.

“well we’re going to tariff the shit out of you unless we can sell chlorine washed chickens in your country”

“oh also fuck your publicly owned railways and roads, you’ll sell them to us at a discount or you’ll be sorry.”

“by the way we’re still going to endorse and fund far right parties and destabilise your democracy - that’s just what allies do, right?”

Given his role in the upcoming cabinet, it's no doubt going to be very cost-efficient and won't increase the size of either government.

Maybe NHS will make profit for the first time!

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

Yeah, invade it and add it back to the EU as a vassal state, undo that Brexit.

[-] Allonzee@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago

Why do I feel like we're about to do a whole Third Reich thing?

[-] samus12345@lemm.ee 6 points 2 days ago

This one will be the Fourth Reich.

Tell me more how Dems were the real war hawks.

[-] ploot 36 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Republicans have only threatened to invade Mexico, Canada and the UK so far, with a few days to go yet until they take power. They're basically pacifists.

Edit: Oh, and Panama.
