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.”

    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.

      broke mind virus

      Oooooh, I like that! Their favorite phrase, turned around and reclaimed, and made fit to highlight their damage. This needs to spread.

    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.

    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

    “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.

    He’s a foreign fascist interfering in British politics. Shut down all his business operations in Britain and expropriate the assets.

    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.
