Summary

Elon Musk has called on King Charles III to dissolve the UK Parliament, citing past controversies involving Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the Rotherham Scandal.

Musk accused Starmer of inaction during his tenure as head of the Crown Prosecution Service and urged a new general election, drawing backlash for spreading misinformation.

Critics argue that the monarchy lacks the unilateral power to dissolve Parliament under the 2022 Dissolution and Calling of Parliament Act.

Musk’s growing political involvement globally, including support for right-wing parties, has sparked calls for regulation against foreign interference.

The US could wipe Holland off the map in a couple days without even leveraging it's entire military.

Whereas every Dutch person I’ve ever met knows the difference between “its” and “it’s”.

Despite English not being their first (and often not even their second or third) language.

Still, you carry on flexing about wiping bits of countries off the map, petal. It makes you look manly and cool.

You have misunderstood my comment.

My point was that ANT_EEY_ANKS was essentially calling the Dutch pussies for not suicideing themselves.

The Dutch bombing New York would be suicide

I am not American, I have nothing to flex about here.

But please, keep pointing out errant apostrophes rather than actually dealing with the subject in question. it definitely doesn't make you look like a pedant bore

People don't care. The context lets you know which it is.

Carry on being wrong and looking like an ill-educated dullard then!
