Elon Musk has said UK MPs “will be summoned to the United States of America to explain their censorship and threats to American citizens” in a fresh escalation of tensions between the world’s richest man and Labour

      It’s so pathetic, this is purely him trying to get revenge for being summoned to the UK.

    So when do the people in power grow a spine and fight back?

    MP: “That little bitch can ‘summon’ my fat, juicy penis into his mouth for all I care.”

    Drop the diplomacy and stop treating these people like people. Humiliate them in the headlines and on the world stage. Trump and Musk and the like would have a public meltdown if they were treated like this. Melt them down.

      Fuckin wishy washy liberals just go “I’ll take the high road and roll over, that’ll work”. Find some chutzpah! At least pull a Picard and go “you may test that assumption at your convenience”.

    I did not know that even rich private illegal immigrants in the US had the power to “summon” elected officials from other nations at their whim.

    Did he treat the Brits like they’re pushovers? Historically that was rarely a smart move to do. Watch them block X now to give him the middle finger.

    It’s not even that much of a stretch either since Brazil did it with resounding success already. On top of that there is an ongoing exodus movement out of X with solid alternatives so that could cause maximum damage to X.

    Musk is a moron. He’s going to war against a tank division and he’s sitting at the bottom of a hill on a tricycle.

    After an astonishing success of his bold “mam-child temper tantrum waah waah” strategy in Brazil, it’s time for another go, eh?

    Trump and his nepo-cronies trotting out the same tired old bullshit that Putin pulls with his citizens.

    Does this hollow posturing actually impress Americans? I doubt it.

      Unfortunately, a large number of Americans are fucking stupid.
