A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

We should make a rule that billionaires are only allowed to destabilize one democratic nation state at a time.
~~Tommy Robinson~~
That's the name he took on to come across more blue collar. His real name is:
Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon
I'd love to see blood spewing from this grifter's neck.
Is he English? Why is he trying to influence another country's politics?
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.
They stopped buying his cars
Because he's a wanker.
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
Blind disabled granny with a free Palestine sign: jailed
Foreign billionaire destroying democracy: aww you staaapth 🤭
Billionaires. Should. Not. Exist.
Make. Elon. HOMELESS.
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?
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?
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
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.
The fascist mind virus.
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.
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.
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
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.
The rich have simply too much money.
Fuck off nazi.
I call for dissolution of Elon Musk
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.
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.
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.
lol this guy is such a chode
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
What a fucking hate spewing coward.
That's pretty much is a requirement for the far-right, no?
Musk on foreign leaders admonishing Trump
Foreign interference!
Musk when directly interfering with foreign governments
This is totally fine.
Is he just trying to see how much chaos and hate he can sow?
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.
The right never stops inciting violence.
Definitely was not a nAzi salute a developer definitely not a filthy rich white extremist twat. (sarcasm)
Yay, it’s UK’s turn to babysit this psycho.
This is why you must never buy a Tesla.
The Board is tripping over itself to give this guy a Trillion dollar payout.
