UK Politics Thread (Part 3)

I don’t hate him and not even slightly jealous. Just think he’s a prick.

If anything he’s living proof that all the riches in the world don’t make you happy. He’s still like an insecure child that craves attention

What logic? You spoke recently of enjoying expensive restaurant meals. You’re not short I’m guessing. I am, but I’m not jealous of somebody else’s money. They’ve just done better than me. Unlike the left who just see that nobody should have more than them. That’s why Musk is hated and that’s magnified on here. Not exactly a wide cross section of the population now is it.

No, no yet. Jury is still out.

No, which is why I was very specific about the words I used.

So you’d trust to run the country a bloke who a) flushed down the toilet half of Twitter’s value just because, b) espouses free market libertarian values but sues when the free market takes its money elsewhere, c) spends his days posting creepy/insane/juvenile AI/memes and d) binned off one of his own children FFS.

And all because it benefits you personally…

You are as predictable as he is socially inept.

Hardly. You started it on a presumption without even reading the article.

Musk, maybe driven, clever etc. but he is in reality a populist cunt. The world does not need them. We’ve just had 8 years of that in the uk and weve hit rock bottom thanks to their inability to actually govern. It’s all noise, rhetoric and denial of responsibility.

Populists offer noise not viable solutions

I don’t care how socially challenged he is, watch the vid with him and Tim Dodd about changes to rocket engines. He struggles till his brain engages then he’s on point. He’s off the scale of spectrums but has achieved amazing things.

Musk has fuck all to do with the UK government.

He’s given them plenty of advice/warnings lately

C64 for me mate, non of that Sir Clive shite.

Really?

He is a populist. The article posted talked about populists and the treat they pose. He also talks a real heap of BS.

And he’s utterly revolutionised space travel.

And Ive designed and built lots of bridges, neither are qualifications or experience on how to govern a nation.

I believe his own daughter calls out his crap. A proper family man there. 12th child is it now?

We wouldn’t need to move to another planet if Elon kept it in his pants.

I see this pissing contest was continuing during a CL match.

How desperate are people to have the last word? :roll_eyes:

And what are you trying to do now? :thinking:

Diane Abbott just gave a really good interview on Newsnight. I don’t agree with everything she said, but it’s well worth a watch.

I don’t like Elon Musk. I used to, but for me the turning point was calling the cave divers, who helped in Thailand, paedos. They had expertise. Musk didn’t. But he spoke out, forcefully, ungraciously, and won a lawsuit due to having deeper pockets and top lawyers. He’s a shit bully.

Since then he has just got more and more bizarre and outspoken, often outside his area of expertise.

He seems to equate being rich with having something worthwhile to say on any subject, but it’s odious.

Of course he is clever and has changed some industries and made an enormous amount of money. If I dug into it deeply I suspect he didn’t so much invent as capitalize on the work of others. It’s not illegitimate, but I doubt he is quite the solo genius his fans make him out to be.

Anyhow, I’m not impressed with the man.

Nothing to do with jealousy. I just think for his platform he could do so much better, but he’s a divisive cock.

Finally, excellent news.
