  1. He’s [branded one U.S. ally’s government “fascists”](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/elon-musk-criticizes-australias-proposed-ban-social-media-children-rcna181296) and another leader a “fool.” Now, [Elon Musk](https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/elon-musk-trump-donald-mar-a-lago-appointment-position-rcna179826) has labeled Britain a “tyrannical police state” while endorsing calls for a new election and boosting a video from a jailed far-right activist.

    Musk, not just the world’s richest man but a key adviser to President-elect Donald Trump, has clashed for months with [Prime Minister Keir Starmer](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/uk-general-election-keir-starmer-labour-party-prime-minister-sunak-rcna157473) at a time when the U.K. is [concerned about its standing with the incoming U.S. administration](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/us-allies-haunted-trump-insults-race-delete-posts-praise-election-vict-rcna179080).

  4. Anybody who actually lives in Britain knows that we have a relatively healthy, functioning democracy. The police here are pretty chill. Musk is such a loser it hurts my brain

  7. this man is making the argument that once an individual amasses more than $1B their top marginal tax rate needs to go to 99.9%

  8. Will someone please give this pumped up little arse a slap 🤬

  9. Richest man in the world turned a villain – the portrayal of billionaire Iron Man who thought about humanity above his own interest, was always an irony

  10. He really went off the deep end after his daughter came out as trans and showed how much of a pos he is.

  12. >Musk, who is known for picking fights online and retweeting far-right posts, also shared a post Saturday by Robinson — the jailed far-right activist and founder of the anti-immigrant English Defence League.
    >
    >Robinson is currently serving an 18-month prison sentence after admitting contempt of court by repeating false claims against a Syrian refugee.

    Putting people like this anywhere close to the levers of power is going to be problematic.

  15. Oh boy.
    So, if Britain or EU makes any demands that impair Twitter in any way, the Trump government will respond how..?

    This is a sure fire way to find out how much power Elon has over Trump, because no sitting government outside the US will accept this shit…

  16. He ain’t wrong, and you can say the same about all of Europe. Half of London is foreign people. The English are being trashed. It’s the new fresh modern colonization, culutral holodomor.

  17. Elon Musk is making easier to countries around the world to treat him as a persona non grata. Basically he calls any country that goes against his interests as dictatorship (Brazil, Australia and now the UK) and each time becomes more clear that he not worthy of trust

  19. He’s so desperate for attention, but Starmer isn’t giving him any. He can say what he likes and we’ll continue to rise above.

  20. it seems the world is defenseless against this new era of lies

  21. Who made this guy god emperor. Take this guy’s sec. clearance and greencard away he’s a no one.

  22. With British arresting people for mean Twitter posts and Germany kicking in doors on people who called a politician fat it’s hard to say he’s wrong.

  23. He’s such a twat and people worship him because he has MONEY! Absolutely gross
