        At least he’s not smart about it and just yells it all in public. If he ever realizes he can do it quietly it’ll be an even bigger problem.

        That’s the thing I don’t get. Trump got the presidency, he can just carry Elon aside like a burger wrapper

          Are you under the impression that Trump actually has a lot of money? You don’t get rich by bankrupting businesses, and he’s done a lot of that.

          He certainly doesn’t have enough to maintain the lifestyle that he’s grown to love.

            He’s got bribes from all mayor tech companies willing to get in his favor. He doesn’t need any more money. He can order the mint to print him a stack.

            He’s got immunity. He can litarally rob a bank and claim his presidential immunity. Hell he can kill Elon and steal his stuff LEGALLY

    My sanity isn’t ready for an reality where Elon fucking Musk is fucking shit up globally. Trump was bad enough, but this shit? This is what will eventually cause a global conflict against fucking fascists of all things.

    We already did this shit once, are we really going to do it again?

    There was a time when King Charles tried to overturn parliament way back in the 1600s. I forget what happened next, but I’m pretty sure it was all very civil.

    When I was younger, my sister teased and provoked me (I mean she still does but much less). Every time this happened, my parents told me to just ignore her. I think media should do the same when it comes to Elon Musk, since damn, everyone who doesn’t willingly choose ignorance already sees who he is. By this you are just giving him more exposure.

      That’s not how it works—actually, that’s not how anything works. It’s not about doing the right thing; it’s all about what drives the most attention, clicks, or money.

      There’s a reason every media outlet reports on every little thing the fat guy or this bozo does or says. There’s a reason you didn’t ignore this news and felt compelled to comment on it.

      It’s the same reason 99% of these commenters have no idea who someone like Demis Hassabis is, was or will be: it doesn’t drive attention.

      It’s hard to say what the responsible and ethical approach is for journalists given it is newsworthy that the richest man in the world (who is also extremely influential to the highest office of the most influential country of the world) is encouraging such an extreme and unexpected regime change, but also Musk, like Trump, puts out so much noise it’s hard to predict what will actually be policy they persue vs what is just noise

      He’s not he-who-shall-not-be-named. Talking about him won’t make him more powerful.

    Musk’s entire job is to keep the media focused on him and his stupidity so that we aren’t paying attention to what his useful orange idiot is doing.

      That is an excellent point. The only snag is that I feel they aren’t quite intelligent enough to think of that. Then again, maybe that’s what they want us to think…

    Clearly the king should just ignore this nonsense …… and ban him from travelling there. Preferably the entire commonwealth. Wait. I’ll make popcorn

    Oh please try Chuck. Please do. The one incontrovertible way to end the monarchy immediately would be if one of the inbred stands up and tries to exercise any real power.
