If Elon likes Robinson that much, maybe he can move into the same prison cell.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 1 day ago

So the wealthiest man on Earth is an out and proud fascist. In a culture that worships wealth.

What could go wrong

[–] DicJacobus@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

America is a lost cause. But maybe the rest of the world should be reminded that businessmen and oligarchs from other countries screaming on the internet have no affect on law.

[–] Prior_Industry@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Until they start funding the opposition parties.

[–] DicJacobus@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

Lobbyists throwing money at politicians with no limits - yeah go back to what I said earlier about America being a lost cause.

He's really going all out on the being-a-Nazi thing isn't he?

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 day ago

I was thinking the same thing. Mask has come off completely

[–] TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 37 points 2 days ago

He is south African. Getting in touch with his roots.

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 77 points 2 days ago

I demand the UK lock Elon Musk up.

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 29 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Tommy Robinson? The violent illegal immigrant?

[–] xor@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 1 day ago

The one who's been convicted for assault, contempt of court, public disorder, using a fake passport and mortgage fraud? The very same

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Maybe he should go back to where he came from.

[–] bollybing@lemmynsfw.com 58 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Musk wants to release a violent criminal who went to prison for assaulting a police officer? Doesn't sound like he's in favour of law and order.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

As usual- back the blue, unless the blue isn't on our side.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 88 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Shut the fuck up Musk. You have no opinions that matter, nor any ideas that are good. Since you inherited all that you have, you spend your days shoving your shit down everyone's throats. With the sickening thought that you are entitled to the listening you so crave. You know nothing, so you fill your world with Yesmen who will agree no matter what nonsense rolls out of your mouth.

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee -1 points 2 days ago

Do you think he's reading this?

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world 66 points 2 days ago

Elon Musk can demand a blowjob from Donald Trump.

[–] MyNameIsRichard@lemmy.ml 64 points 2 days ago

Musk can fuck right off

[–] doo@sh.itjust.works 39 points 2 days ago (3 children)

And do it begins. Musk wants to become the new Hitler.

How soon till we start making time travel films about going back to stop him?

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 30 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

If we stop him there'll be no need for those movies. Everyone regrets that Hitler wasn't stopped sooner, except Nazis like Elon Musk. Nazism is on the rise again and there needs to be real popular resistance.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

Everyone regrets that Hitler wasn’t stopped sooner, except Nazis like Elon Musk.

"Everyone" doesn't get it then, because it wasn't just Hitler that needed to be stopped. If Hitler had been killed by his generals as was planned, it would not have ended the war or the Holocaust. Because the problem was deeper than that.

Stopping Elon Musk will solve nothing. That's not how you deal with a hydra. You need to fight the entire system because until you defeat it, there will always be another Elon Musk just like there will always be another Donald Trump.

Hitler was the primary symptom of a much bigger problem and, unfortunately for Germans, the only solution was defeat and occupation.

More like Musk wants to become the new Eva Braun.

[–] BatrickPateman@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

It is an ego thing again. He wants to have a game focus on him, so he is speed running becoming the main antagonist in one of the next Wolfenstein.

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ah yes muskyboi. We should just ignore him

[–] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I ignore people best with tar and feathers.

[–] 30p87@feddit.org 35 points 2 days ago

What's next? Musk finances the resurrection of Hitler? Oh wait, that's Trump.

[–] BugKilla@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

A popular LBC presenter, James O'Brien, refers to him as Tommy-Ten-Names which is apt because Yaxley-Lennon is a massive cunt.

[–] Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

You are not wrong… and that’s the problem. Even if there’s some (any) truth in whatever bile he vents I know he only says it because he’s a grifter and primarily sees it as a chance to unbankrupt himself.

“People” on 9gag think he’s a hero - along with the orange guy, that Canadian benzo junkie and that bald women hater and his brother. Why?

S Y-L is the only person on this planet that I will consciously deadname. Fuck him.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 7 points 2 days ago

Serious nepo baby energy.

[–] Shiggles@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I’d take a swapsies, let Muskie take his place.

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Why not both?

[–] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

In my head I see him just yelling out the window at the land below him as he passes over in his jet.

Dude needs to be taken down a peg.
