Here, watch:
After Public Nazi Salute Musk-Owned X Now Running Pro-Hitler, Holocaust-Denying Ads
Because they’re scared. Print that, get buried in lawsuits by the richest edge lord in history.
You have to be smarter than this and actually defund his backers. Make it incredibly hard for them to be associated with him. Show him as a losing proposition.
As long as he’s winning, people are buying Tesla’s, the US is financing public money into space X, and multinationals are active and paying for Twitter then nothing is going to change.

- Comment on French President Emmanuel Macron announces €100 billion investments in AI 1 week ago:
Investors will pump 109 billion euros into artificial intelligence (AI) projects in France in the coming years,
It will be private investment, venture capitalists, that provide the money and extract the data and wealth. All Macron is doing is giving it the official seal of approval from the government. He might relax some rules and make it easier to invest but your tax Euros are safe.

Good luck getting that back.
- Comment on Britain will not recognise Trump’s new name for Gulf of Mexico 4 weeks ago:
the name will not change on official maps in Britain unless “Gulf of America” becomes the most commonly used name for it by English speakers. Officials believe that is not likely for some time, if at all.
I wonder what the higher bar is? This or if the UN (or another international body) recognises the name?
- Comment on Britain will not recognise Trump’s new name for Gulf of Mexico 4 weeks ago:
The Mexican president 🤣.
“For us, it is still the Gulf of Mexico, and for the entire world it is still the Gulf of Mexico,” said Claudia Sheinbaum, the Mexican president, on Tuesday. She previously joked that Mexico should refer to the US as “Mexican America”.
Yes!

Because if you think that embassies all around the world, including our own, aren’t already used for espionage activities and that the host countries don’t know this, well I have a monorail to sell you.

- Comment on UK lawmakers pressure London Stock Exchange, urge checks over Chinese fast-fashion retailer Shein's refusal to answer questions on forced labour 5 weeks ago:
I agree on paper. But we’ve seen many time before “legally responsible” isn’t really a deterrent for some people in society. If there’s money to be made, made it will be!
All I’m saying is that if they suddenly approve the listing after the chancellor returns despite the lack of transparency I will not be surprised in the slightest.
- Comment on UK lawmakers pressure London Stock Exchange, urge checks over Chinese fast-fashion retailer Shein's refusal to answer questions on forced labour 5 weeks ago:
It will be interesting to see if the Chancellor returns back from her trip to China and whispers in the stock exhanche’s ear to allow the listing.

- Comment on Elon Musk makes 23 posts urging King Charles III to overthrow UK government 1 month ago:
Do you honestly think that would stop him taking the UK gov to court. It would not. He would claim it is a personal attack on his companies rights to free speech.
Then the goal for any legislation is simple: don’t make it personal to Twitter and instead reference “platforms that openly allow misinformation and hate on their servers that do business in the UK without appropriate and swift moderation”. Something like that.
The goal won’t be to fine Twitter or Musk directly. It will be to move the needle in a way that makes doing business with him or his companies not worth the hassle. Musk could win the court battle, but ultimately lose his hate machine. Absolutely fine 😉.
But let’s be honest… None of this will happen 😂.
- Comment on Elon Musk makes 23 posts urging King Charles III to overthrow UK government 1 month ago:
Don’t fine him directly. Fine doing business with his company interests to starve him of income. Like the modern slavery laws. It’s useless going after the slavers but if caught using people that have been trafficked then your company gets a hefty fine and make it expensive to show that you comply. Something like that but for advertising on sites that intentionally spread misinformation and do little to nothing to prevent it (i.e. Twitter).
- Comment on Elon Musk wants the U.S. to “Liberate the people Britain from their tyrannical government” 1 month ago:
I genuinely can’t believe what is happening. What timeline are we living in?
Maybe it’s time we designated Musk as a terrorist?
- Comment on Elon Musk makes 23 posts urging King Charles III to overthrow UK government 1 month ago:
The UK (and other countries) should instead heavily tax companies that advertise on sites proven to spread disinformation. Couple of hefty fines for a few big advertising users and Twitter starts to lose (even more) money since it isn’t worth the risk of advertising there.
Direct action against Musk or Twitter isn’t going to work. We need to be sneaky ☺️.

- Comment on Transport Secretary Louise Haigh resigns after Sky News revealed mobile phone guilty plea 2 months ago:
I won’t comment on the quality of the jobs, I honestly don’t know enough about what happens in a port (apart from what happens in a dock town stays in a dock town 😘). But it was / is a billion of investment. That’s not chump change by any means. The UK can’t be turning its nose up at investment because of morals and a sense of duty. We don’t have the headroom to do so. We’re massively in debt. That’s just the reality.
I totally get what you’re saying. But I still feel that a large part of this resignation storyline is because she rocked the boat.

- Comment on Transport Secretary Louise Haigh resigns after Sky News revealed mobile phone guilty plea 2 months ago:
I don’t disagree.
But from the company in questions perspective why wouldn’t you turn around and say, “ok then this $1billion can go to Ireland or the Netherlands, see ya”. The UK government isn’t in a position to be shooing away business investment of that scale. That’s what almost happened before the UK government had to make grovelling apologies to said company. Hiring foreign workers over UK workers sucks, but you can’t ignore the huge investment that would benefit hundreds more.
These are the kinds of macro chess games governments have to play. And this former minister hasn’t made it easy for them to play it.
