    Why doesn’t ihe gov’t of South Africa liberate the people of Britain? Why would America need to do it? Fuck you Elon.

    Just disable X in the UK and thus remove his hate platform.

    And I would not mind if Europe followed this move.

    UK should declare him an enemy of the state w/a standing arrest warrant with talk like that. Would serve him right to never be allowed over their airspace again.

    The U.K. and the E.U. are gonna have to figure out something to do against Musk, because now that the U.S. has fallen Musk and the rest of the manosphere are focusing their attention to supporting far-right groups abroad. Personally, I think banning Xitter is the easiest and most effective first step for them to take, as it will greatly limit Musk’s ability to control social discourse in these countries.

      Should have dealt with Russia first. Now we’re blessed with the vicious-idiot tagteam of Fascist Imperialist Russia, and Corpo-Fascist imperialist? america tag-teaming.

    Casually suggesting an act of war against a nuclear armed country to own the libs.

    Musk should read about the British nuclear doctrine before making further jokes. (TLDR, It’s a system similar to the dead hand, except its not automated, even if the state falls, the nuclear subs are still out there prowling with their final orders)

    As an American and former soldier, fuck no. Why should any American spend their life “liberating” a country that is arguably freer than we are?

    I’m starting an office pool, who’s going to lose their life first. Musk, or Trump.

    Sovereignty is nothing to joke about, the more you push your jokes, the more people will take it as a threat. and a threat to sovereignty is something people will absolutely kill over.

      I doubt it’ll end in anything other than a disaster for Musk eventually, but he’s going to do a lot of damage in the meantime.

      Trump probably bites it first though, because of his age if nothing else.

    It sounds to me like Musk, acting as a goverents representative, is making wild threats against our allies. Maybe he’s trying to sew division between us and our allies to help Russia and China?
