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.

[-] hector@lemmy.today 29 points 2 weeks ago

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 22 points 2 weeks 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.

He did the same thing in Germany. There's many articles from a while back when he had a super awkward interview with some AfD politician where they discussed how Hitler was actually a communist. Yeah, not kidding. This here however seems a bit more dramatic, maybe Muski has learned something from that first experience.

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.

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.

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 11 points 2 weeks ago

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

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!

Cool. Charge him with treason and throw him in jail if he ever decides to pay the U.K a visit again, then.

[-] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

I don't think you can charge a non-citizen with treason, eh? 😅

[-] GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml 14 points 2 weeks ago

An interesting point - I checked, and as far as I can tell, non-citizens can be charged with treason in the U.K, so long as they are considered under the jurisdiction of the U.K - "alien residents" for example are covered, and probably temporary visitors to the country as well. It would likely be up to judicial interpretation whether attempting the coup virtually would qualify, but I'd assume it might.

The serious take would be that this comment is too mild to qualify for treason, but one could always hope.

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.

Rät - Penelope Scott

[Verse 1]
I come from scientists and atheists and white men who kill God
They make technology high quality, complex, physiological
Experiments and sacrilege in the name of public good
They taught me everything, just like a daddy should

[Verse 2]
And you were beautiful and vulnerable and power and success
God damn, I fell for you, your flamethrowers, your tunnels, and your tech
I studied code because I wanted to do something great like you
And the real tragedy is half of it was true

[Bridge 1]
But we’ve been fuckin’ mean, we’re elitist, we’re as flawed as any church
And this faux-rad West coast dogma has a higher fuckin’ net worth
I bit the apple ’cause I trusted you
It tastes like Thomas Malthus
Your proposal is immodest and insane
And I hope someday Selmers rides her fuckin’ train

[Chorus]
I loved you, I loved you, I loved you, it’s true
I wanted to be you and do what you do
I lived here, I loved here, I thought it was true
I feel so stupid, and so used
I feel so used

[Verse 3]
I was your baby, your firstborn, the hot girl in your comp-sci class
And I was Darwin’s prep school dream bred born and raised to kick your ass
I fell for circuit boards, rocket ships, pictures of the stars
If you could only be what you pretend you are

[Verse 4]
When I said take me to the moon I never meant take me alone
I thought if mankind toured the sky it meant that all of us could go
But I don’t want to see the stars if they’re just one more piece of land
For us to colonize, for us to turn to sand

[Bridge 2]
‘Cause we’re so fuckin’ mean, we’re so elitist, we’re as fucked as any church
And this bullshit West coast dogma has a higher fuckin’ net worth
I bit the apple ’cause I loved you, and why would you lie?
And then I realized that you’re just as naïve as I am
Oh, you’re so traumatized it makes me want to cry

[Chorus]
You dumb *removed*
I loved you, I loved you, I loved you, it’s true
I wanted to be you and do what you do
I lived here, I loved here, I bought it, it’s true
I’m so embarrassed, I feel abused

[Verse 5]
Well I don’t want to eat the rich, I’d have to eat my heroes first
And my tuition’s paid by blood, I might deserve your fate or worse
But I don’t need your god damn money, I don’t need jack shit from you
So when I speak, you bet your life my words are true

[Verse 6]
Let me level with you man, as someone guilty of the game
I took the help, I took the cash, I would’ve taken your last name
So if any girl on Earth should get to make a call about this, it should be me
And as I see it, you’re a dick

[Bridge 3]
So fuck your tunnels, fuck your cars, fuck your rockets, fuck your cars again
You promised you’d be Tesla, but you’re just another Edison
‘Cause Tesla broke a patent, all you ever broke were hearts
I can’t believe you tore humanity apart
With the very same machines that could have been our brand new start

[Chorus]
And the worst part is
I loved you, I loved you, I loved you, it’s true
And sometimes I feel like I still fuckin’ do
I lived here, I loved here, I bought it, it’s true
I’m so embarrassed, I feel abused
I feel so used
I feel so used
Take me to the moon
‘Cause I feel so used

The UK is a dumpster fire. The UK is literally mini-US, it's all neoliberals hard-working "pull yourself up by the bootstraps" guys. (And by "guys" i don't just mean biological men, this is not a gender issue.)
