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.”

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.

[–] AlternatePersonMan@lemmy.world 12 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Sales have plummeted globally due to our CEO. Our brand is now poison... Let's give Elon a massive raise.

Fuck. Tesla.

[–] FlowVoid@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

If he can't increase Tesla sales then it's not a raise, It's a pay cut.

You know what to do.

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 13 points 15 hours ago

Yay, it’s UK’s turn to babysit this psycho.

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 39 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] ms_lane@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago

Won't somebody rid us of this turbulent Billionaire?

[–] Carmakazi@lemmy.world 29 points 18 hours ago

"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.

Definitely was not a nAzi salute a developer definitely not a filthy rich white extremist twat. (sarcasm)

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 25 points 18 hours ago

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?

If you dissolve parliament, does the country go back to the monarchy?

We need a dissolution of billionaires.

In acid, perhaps.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 12 hours ago

or Purged like in rick and morty.

[–] peaceful_world_view@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

The final solution if I may.

[–] xxce2AAb@feddit.dk 14 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

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?

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 12 hours ago

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.

[–] unconsequential@slrpnk.net 20 points 19 hours ago

And how many wounded officers?

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 10 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, if he could stay the fuck out of the internal affairs of other countries for 5 seconds, that would be great.

[–] Tenoteve@feddit.org 3 points 12 hours ago

Maybe he did not get the memo

Does this motherfucker just go on disinformation tours, with shows in every country?

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 12 hours ago

ketamine tours actually. he only functions if hes on ketamine.

[–] mcbenavides85@piefed.social 6 points 16 hours ago

Too bad someone hasn’t kirked him.

[–] cannon_annon88@lemmy.today 9 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Why are people dumb enough to listen to the words of a man like this.

[–] gladflag@lemmy.ml 2 points 14 hours ago

Are they kicking him out? Wild.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 points 16 hours ago

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.
