  So between this and trumps statements on Canada are we getting the commonwealth back together? I could go for another burning down of a white house.

  Given his role in the upcoming cabinet, it’s no doubt going to be very cost-efficient and won’t increase the size of either government

  Imagine that! Wannabe dictator asking whether or not they should invade a sovereign country! He’s truly a good person because he asked his people if they should invade instead of flat out invading!

    And we can trust the reliability of the data, given the sterling reputation of Twitter and Musk himself, of course.

  I’m a Dane living in the UK. This is beginner level Trump/musk idiocy. Denmark is currently wrestling with the US demanding a piece of their kingdom (and yes, Denmark is a democracy, so using the word kingdom may seem a bit anachronistic, but in this case we are talking about Greenland, which is an autonomous region of the Danish commonwealth, so the official term is “kingdom”)

  Let’s do an internet poll about invading another country.

  If it was a 13 year old kid I could understand it, but this is musk

    Hmm, let’s see, one country was ruled by a murderous dictator using chemical weapons against his own people and crushing dissidents to a pulp in secret prisons. The other is a mature, functioning democracy with rule of law and a free press.

    Yes, yes, I can see how you think that’s exactly the same.

    source

    • surph_ninja@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      The chemical weapons claim has debunked many times since the claim was made by intelligence orgs, and the white helmets exposed as a western regime change operation.

      Which country is the “mature, functioning democracy with rule of law and free press”? Would that be the UK, which is crushing pro-Palestine protestors, arresting journalists for criticism of Israel, arming genocide, and participating in CIA torture black sites?

  On one hand, fuck that fucking assclown.

  On the other hand, my god that would be one hell of a comeback in historical terms: former colony invades and colonizes liberates former rulers

  • echodot@feddit.uk ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Not that the empire still exists of course, so what you’re actually invading is the land that used to belong to a society that no longer exists and a different society is there now and is unhappy about having to deal with this nonsense.

  My bins weren’t collected last week, now we’ve got snow in them and all the cardboard’s all wet and soggy. If that is not evidence of a tyrannical dictatorship, then I don’t know what is.

    of course they won’t collect your bins, the government feels threatened by count binface and refuses to support his people

  I can’t believe Elon musk managed to destroy twitter so much they lead to four separate twitter’s for each political quadrant!

  Twitter for the right, Twitter for the left, Twitter for the libertarian, Twitter for Linux users

  Non American , and non brit here. Why is this waste of energy so interested in the UK and Europe now ? I know there will be plenty of cynical takes which I will probably endorse however I’m interested in what his actual motivation might be. Does he just want parties in power in the given country that he has influence over for the sake of legislative advantage for his businesses? Or is it trollconomics for sake of driving signups to his failing social network I forget the name of?

    Trump could be soliciting bribes by threatening people as well, but musk is the one giving him directions.

    “Oh yeah, Canada will pay up just yell some shit about invading.”

  • ShareMySims@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    He wants to be king of the world, it’s as simple as that. He already has the most money (not that that’ll stop him from wanting more), now he just needs to have the most power, and actively supporting the rise of fascism around the world (which he has been doing for long before he let his mask start to slip and now completely come off) is his way of getting it.

    The fact that you think he bought twitter, or is running it the way he is as some sort of troll, rather than a very real, and very effective, way of manipulating the public as well as politics as a whole, shows how well it works.

    it’s all a big ploy to give the US bargaining chips when negotiating with the UK for trade agreements.

    “well we’re going to tariff the shit out of you unless we can sell chlorine washed chickens in your country”

    “oh also fuck your publicly owned railways and roads, you’ll sell them to us at a discount or you’ll be sorry.”

    “by the way we’re still going to endorse and fund far right parties and destabilise your democracy - that’s just what allies do, right?”

      Yep also China has a hold on musk economically. And supports Russia.

      Russia has managed to gain a hold on the US again. (Reminding folks about his illegal holding of Ukraine funds last time)

      The UK is by far the next most vocal supporter.
