  1. This is getting pretty outrageous. An overseas billionaire openly conspiring to bring down the British Government. Feels like we’re entering really frightening times.

  2. Imagine if a high-ranking Russian or Chinese oligarch that also owns an important social media space like TikTok openly examines how to oust a democratically-elected UK Prime Minister, we will 100% sanction that person and the company, but because this is Daddy America our government squirms and just keeps quiet about it.

  3. This should be a unifying call to all parties in the UK to come together and tell him to piss off. Farage looks so weak still simping for him despite being attacked. This is the man who was all about British sovereignty a few years ago, now he’s desperate for the attention of a foreigner who’s trying to manipulate our politics and threatening us with invasion.

  5. He really has no fucking idea how this country works, does he.

    The sooner the UK and EU ban Twitter the better, to be honest.

  6. Badenoch should be outraged and also afraid for her own party.

    But, ever the populist and desperate for power will doff her cap to Musk.

  7. Why is he so bothered about UK politics? He’s South African living in America so why does he care? Confuses me so much.

  8. So do the right wing have a problem with foreign interference in our elections or not?

  9. I’m waiting for when he will hear the Millwall motto and decide he has to buy the club.

    I trust that he’d get an appropriate welcome.

  10. Conspiring to undermine a democracy, piss off ya rich freak

  11. I am so sick of seeing this guys stupid face in the news every god damn day.

  12. Musk openly being a cunt, in other news water is wet

  13. Why is it when we have actual proof that there is foreign interference actively trying to destabilise our politics that the conspiracy nuts go quiet?

    You’d think that partisanship would go out the window for someone actively attempting to subvert the will of the people.

  14. Er, does this make him an official enemy of the British State?

    Can we… Respond to that the way we have in the past?

  15. How do we go about _ousting_ Musk before the next election?

  18. I see the publication of articles like this to be a small win for British politics, media and cultural sanity.

    Remember Dominic Cummings et al conspired with AggregateIQ, a Canadian company, in order to create targeted social media campaigns to tip the balance of the Brexit vote. That was done in relative secrecy. Meanwhile Musk here is being written about in national publications, which will help to keep everyone’s eyes wide open.

    Musk might be the richest man in the world, but his options for pulling strings are no different from those who came before him, and so far it doesn’t seem to be going very well.

  19. It’s mad that the “we don’t want no foreigners here” gang are happy for a South African, Canadian, American to be trying to control and take over

  20. So an unelected foreigner is openly conspiring with a fringe party to overthrow our democratically elected leader and we have silence from the media and the bbc.

    Needs to be called out and anyone parroting his lies labelled as an enemy of the state

  22. He does realise that if Starmer was to be removed before the next election, the next PM would have to be from Labour and would likely be more left wing than Starmer?

  23. >Several premiers in recent decades, including Sir Tony Blair and Boris Johnson, have won big majorities at elections, only to exit mid-parliament because of their waning popularity.

    Waning popularity is a rather polite way of describing the reasons Blair and Johnson resigned. No matter how many tweets Musk posts or how many people fall for his misinformation, even if that causes Keir Starmer’s “popularity to wane”, I can’t see him resigning over a foreign billionaire’s Smear Kier campaign.

  24. Something more than money is motivating Musk. I cannot fathom how the richest man in the world is focused on Diablo and British Politics. I am starting to suspect psychopathy.

  25. Starmer might be fucking useless but I would stand by him over this billionaire wank rag any day

  26. He wasn’t invited to the International Investment Summit by the Labour Party last year so he’s thrown a strop.

    Lonely drug addicted muppet who is apparently so concerned with the UKs children that he failed to spend any time with his own children and recently started paraded his youngest around in public with him as a human shield.

  28. and to think people scoffed at Tomorrow Never Dies as being too absurd when it came out 

    If anything it didn’t go far enough

  29. This really good news for Starmer after an otherwise tough opening months

  30. If musk ever steps foot in the UK again he should be locked up.

  31. Extreme far Right wingers ok the EU debate: foreigners shouldnt interfere in our politics

    Extreme far right now: all hail our foreigner overlord. He must be able to overthrow any of our democratically elected governments.

  33. This is foreign agent behaviour. Issue a warrant for his arrest and seize all his assets in this country.

  34. Starmer must be doing something right if a stupid rich trump supporter wants him out.

  35. So… he is trying to overthrow our government?

    Get me Bond.

  36. Okay this is the point at which it crosses a line. This is outrageous. Musk needs dealt with, the US Ambassador needs summoned. Musk is going to part of the US government in a couple of weeks time and he’s interfering in our Democracy.

  37. Ok Mr Musk, thanks for your input. We’ve had a quick poll and we’ve decided you should step back and literally fuck your own face.
