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.”

What a fucking hate spewing coward.
That’s pretty much is a requirement for the far-right, no?
And how many wounded officers?
Oh fuck off you absolute weirdo
Mods pls ban, he said the w word, that’s hate speech
And then we’ll lynch then for good measure
The right never stops inciting violence.
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.
Won’t somebody rid us of this turbulent Billionaire?
Aren’t you supposed to be meddling with my country’s politics, Musky? Some reason you’re afraid to do it in public right now?
“We’ll coup whoever we want! Deal with it!” - actual Elon quote.
I’d imagine there are many ways people might “deal with it”, unfortunately for him.
Stochastic terrorist Nazi and murderous ketamine junkie suffering from the broke mind virus advocating physical violence is creating his own self-fulfilling prophecy.
Yeah, violence is coming you fuckmook, because you make it necessary.
Oooooh, I like that! Their favorite phrase, turned around and reclaimed, and made fit to highlight their damage. This needs to spread.
Why are people dumb enough to listen to the words of a man like this.
Yeah, if he could stay the fuck out of the internal affairs of other countries for 5 seconds, that would be great.
Maybe he did not get the memo
Did he misplace his bullet-absorbing children in a ketamine haze and ran off to be a cunt somewhere safer while the violence he helped foment runs its course at home?
his human shield was only ever useful when luigi was being talked about in the news early on. he discarded the shield as soon as the news died down.
This is why you must never buy a Tesla.
The Board is tripping over itself to give this guy a Trillion dollar payout.
From a company who is intrinsic value cannot exceed 10 billion, a lot less now that the alienated half of the western world with his Nazi bullshit.
Sales have plummeted globally due to our CEO. Our brand is now poison… Let’s give Elon a massive raise.
Fuck. Tesla.
If he can’t increase Tesla sales then it’s not a raise, It’s a pay cut.
You know what to do.
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.
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.
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.
All power comes from the people. All constructs of law and money are effectively paperwork, just inventions by humans because they were considered useful at the time of implementation.
Just like paper has no real power and depends only on the one who interprets it, the same is true for the law and even for money. It’s all based on our collective will to recognize and acknowledge these concepts.
Any way, the paperwork we’ve done (including the books we’ve written) is the actual American dream. The american dream isn’t to buy a house or sth, but to do so in a certain state of mind. I.e. you want to adhere to a great system that makes sense somehow, and be a part of it. That’s why we need to develop new systems, new paperwork, that inspires the people, like a dream, they want to be part of it. That is the key to making a system last.
I recall a late-night, alcohol-fueled conversation I once had with a friend who’s an anthropoligist, where we were discussing how pre-industrial societies are often ruled by myths to an extreme extent. She said “western societies have plenty of myths, too, even if you leave out religion.”
“Yeah, like what?”
“That money has value.”
We live in this huge collective, collaborative and willing self-delusion that, to be fair, was close enough to reality and worked pretty well for many of us for a surprisingly long time. I think there are too many cracks appearing in the illusion now though and thanks to the efforts of the hyper-ultra-wealthy the cognitive dissonance between what the illusion is telling us and what reality is showing us is becoming impossible to ignore.
Killing them won’t do any good, if you kill one, another one takes their place. You gotta tax them, because that affects them all equally, so it’s not just “pop one, another appears” game.
Removing individual billionaires is a static solution (possibly still needed). But we also need to correct the dynamics that causes new ones to emerge. That’s where taxation policy comes into play.
The (not) funny thing is that money is not worth anything objectively, we give it value. We could decide they own nothing.
(edit; typo missing y at they)
Great point and one I always refer to as well … money and wealth only exist because we all believe it to have value and purpose.
It’s a modern day religion that only exists because we all put our faith and belief in it all.
And just like every ancient faith and belief … if one day enough of us or all of us stop believing in it, all that wealth and power just evaporates and means nothing.
Yeah, it’ll be interested to see what society’s like when the belief in the magic of money goes the way of the belief that a king’s touch can cure scrofula.
We need a dissolution of billionaires.
In acid, perhaps.
The final solution if I may.
or Purged like in rick and morty.
Does this motherfucker just go on disinformation tours, with shows in every country?
ketamine tours actually. he only functions if hes on ketamine.
Kirk Musk
Too bad someone hasn’t kirked him.
You know that thing where you say or see a word too often and it starts to sound/look weird?
“Woke mind virus” was already like that the first time I ever saw it, and now it sounds like it could be a band name or title of an anime.
Foreign interference!
This is totally fine.
If you dissolve parliament, does the country go back to the monarchy?
No, I don’t think so.
Also, I think that would be worse.
He joined via a video link, I’m not sure if he was even in the UK.
Though I wouldn’t be surprised if he joined via video not because he couldn’t physically be there, rather because he’s scared of being attacked.
Could well be he couldn’t go himself because all his
human shieldskids had playdates pre-scheduled. Who knows.Yay, it’s UK’s turn to babysit this psycho.
He should have his assets seized in every NATO nation
Hes a supervillain
No, just a villain.
Fuck off nazi.
I call for dissolution of Elon Musk
Are they kicking him out? Wild.
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.
Well he can do one.
When he says “we” he means the white race. The guy’s a flesh and blood 4chan board who inherited blood wealth from daddy’s emerald mine.
The fascist mind virus.
Racism, entitlement and ketamine make a nasty combination.
I think the ‘we’ is referring to fascists, not British citizens.
And alarmingly, that’s not even a joke. There’s a clear cult of personality thing being whipped up, and I legit don’t see what he’s got in common with the baying mob other than racism, fascism, and a taste for violence.
Why would so many people be convinced to bus up and down the country spewing hate at migrant hotels, raising flags everywhere like we’ve fallen to USA levels of idiocy, at the behest of a man who doesn’t share their: country, nationality, culture, religion, class, upbringing, life path / experience, financial or social position or priorities, or literally anything other than… well, I can’t think of anything other than fascism, unhappiness, and probably the petulant anger of someone who can’t figure out why nobody likes or respects them.
And I don’t think many of them are consciously aware of the unhappiness or thwarted desire to be a valuable member of society, so fascism it is.
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.
A Napoleon complex, as I understand it, is when a high achiever feels insecure due to a reasonably insignificant, but noticeable, flaw, and gets so bitter and defensive about it that it draws attention from their achievements to the flaw and their bitterness.
Eg, man rises to the top of his country, conquers others, spreads and empire that, for all its flaws, revolutionised global concepts and uptake of democracy, human rights etc. English critics mainly focus whether he’s a few inches shorter than average.
Whereas Elon: did not do any of that, and the ‘minor flaws’ are his remarkable personal anti-magnetism.
It’s absolutely unbelievable that the richest man in the world still can’t get any friends, let alone partners, who can stick around longer than a year or so. He was brought up with the finest education money could buy and every opportunity, and has not managed to invent, discover, or excel at anything other than buying things.
Not only has he not conquered a multitude of countries or spread anything other than anger and personal dissatisfaction, he couldn’t even rise to the top of his own country.
And, not being funny, his own country was not the stiffest competition in the field of ‘really respectable, well liked, competent people’. White South Africans do not dominate the league tables of Cool Chill Folk Who Fairly Earned Their Worldwide Respect, and all he had to do was keep buying companies and collecting money and not being such a raging wanker as to be a threat to multiple countries’ national security. That is such an achingly low bar, and I truly do not believe anyone except Musk could have failed to clear it.
TLDR: Napoleon ruled his country and many others, leaving a new global standard for law, human rights, freedom, and democracy (which is even more impressive considering he was a kinda imperialist knob).
Musk’s talents are being astronomically rich, and against all odds, setting a new global standard for ‘that white South African pro-apartheid guy who turned out to be unusually racist and anti-meritocracy’. How bad do you have to be before billions of people would recognise you from that description? The man was born on a golden throne and has managed to make a name as the most distasteful turd in the open sewer miles away.
Is he just trying to see how much chaos and hate he can sow?
lol this guy is such a chode
Shouldn’t Elmo be banned after from the UK after such actions?
Calling for the government to resign and elections isn’t exactly treason. Dissolution of the government is a perfectly ordinary part of democracy in the UK
Just the way he’s put it makes him a total cunt
Foreign oligarch meddling in internal affairs and calling for violence is IMO a good enough reason for a permanent ban.
He is not a citizen of the UK, is he? How would you even apply treason in such a case.
I don’t know about the UK, but in several countries that I’ve lived in the government can most definitely kick out non citizens that call for violence and aim to undermine the democratic order.
He could be barred from entry or proscribed though
Exactly, and do it in the most humiliating way possible.
Records an pre-deportation interview video asking him the meaning of what he said and clarifications around his understanding of the UK democratic system.
This man needs to have his wealth confiscated for global security. Send him to the nuthouse and throw away the key or maybe we’ll get lucky and he will get kirked by another more extreme Nazi
Cool. Charge him with treason and throw him in jail if he ever decides to pay the U.K a visit again, then.
I don’t think you can charge a non-citizen with treason, eh? 😅
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.
Too mild when said by Musk. Now imagine if a queer colored disabled Muslim immigrant said the same thing. They could definitely make these very words count as treason but fear repercussions and bad international press when Musk is the target. You know even his ex, Trump, would come back running to save him from the evil colonialists.
Tesla stock too high again?
Definitely was not a nAzi salute a developer definitely not a filthy rich white extremist twat. (sarcasm)
Billionaires. Should. Not. Exist.
Make. Elon. HOMELESS.
Somebody needs to arrest that fuckhead and stick him in the deepest hole they have, take all his money, and properties to teach him to keep his grubby paws out of politics
Is he English? Why is he trying to influence another country’s politics?
Because he’s a wanker.
Because the best way to keep his wealth is to push wherever he can towards corporate fascism.
south african apartheid queen, trying to bring it back to western countries.
To be fair the English have A LOT more experience doing that than Musk
They stopped buying his cars
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.
How long until someone calls for the dissolution of Elon Musk?
That would be inappropriate, but people get desperate.
Is he still using his youngest child as a human shield?
The rich have simply too much money.

Foreign billionaire destroying democracy: aww you staaapth 🤭
I’d love to see blood spewing from this grifter’s neck.
Tommy RobinsonThat’s the name he took on to come across more blue collar. His real name is:
Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon
We should make a rule that billionaires are only allowed to destabilize one democratic nation state at a time.
How about none?
If we’re in a position to make rules, then it should be about proper dining etiquette while eating them.
I would never do such a thing. Though my dog is less discriminating about what she eats.
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.)
They are further along in fascism in some respects than the us is. They just have mealy mouth leaders that do not say the quiet part loud.
Cancel the guy
‘Charlie’ the guy
“O wretched Man that I am, who shall deliver me from this turbulent billionaire”
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! <img alt="" src="https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/78cc67b6-ebb4-4af8-8c03-ff015f19e25b.jpeg">

How is this not screaming fire in a theater…he should not be inciting violence.
He’s a foreign fascist interfering in British politics. Shut down all his business operations in Britain and expropriate the assets.
Conserative, I mean Labour won’t allow that. Musky Boy is part of the donor class.
On the bright side, he’s not in the US screwing things up for the moment.
He is though, he attended the protest remotely.
I call for the dissolution of Elon musk
