At some point someone in the British government has to hit back at Musk. If he was just some rich guy, fine - whatever. Enjoy your drugs. But he is a leading figure in the incoming US administration. Is our policy now that foreign governments can speak this way about us without any consequence?

Europe needs to get back its own backbone.
As with the summer riots. It’s the response of his UK followers (including some of the UK press) that are the practical danger.
🤔
Anyway, about Gaza...
I think the UK needs a dose of Hugh Grant as PM. (Love Actually).
#Sovereignty
They issued a warning, then carried out the threat when the warning was ignored.
Musk capitulated within days.
Why did the we leave ,who persuaded just enough of the people 🤔
Who has actually benefited from us leaving the EU
Putin ,Trump ,Musk?
Narcissistic Billionaires?
or the general population?
and he backed down most Brazilians left there anyway.
Instantly.
How very dare that man say such things about her. How dare he.
Maybe silence is the best treatment. Disdain.
A despicable manbaby full of ignorance and hate.
Cut off the oxygen.
Unfortunately he's a shitposter who bought himself a president. We'll see how long the bromance with Trump lasts.
This all feels like a Nigel Farage style pre-planned grift.
I also think that if you’re a UK business, individual or any type of organisation with any decency or value I don’t know how you can still keep posting on his sewer of a platform any longer!? They endorse him and the damage his platform does the longer they stay on there!
Musk and Trump will last around six months before they're at each others throats max.
Chopstick Rocket Man is the P T Barnum of his generation and Trump is just an addled, orange fool
😉👽
This comes as a result of voting for lickspittles or invertebrates.
Labour seem to be like a rabbit in headlights when it comes to facing down the rich and influential.
He's rich, yes.
But is he really influential? We'd have to believe in and trust him first.
There is plenty of evidence that X is not a democratic free speech platform.
It is Musk's propaganda machine.
Most of the UK knows this.
We need to get on with defending our democracy.
Stand up to bullies.
Why are Labour so scared of upsetting Farage or Musk ? At the moment it seems like they're doing the political equivalent of kicking a lame dog.
Maybe they need a lesson from Canada
Labour need to grow some balls and put him back in his box.
There will be some foaming at the mouth from usual suspects, so what - we cannot pander to cretins and egomaniacs.
(actually seen nothing from Labour to counter Musk's comments)
This could be the best or the worst strategy.
🙄
What are they still doing there?
In any case blocking or lashing back at Musk isn't going to do much, cats out the bag now
Ban him NOW, before he teally gets dug in!
Probably the best thing to do would be to turn it back on Farage.
For years we talked about it happening to other people but nobody seems to want to confront this when it’s “us”
Madness.
I’m getting old…😿
But seriously you’re right we have to deal with this now, drug fuelled baby carrying on
Melon is already POTUS in all but name

Play dice here is by banning it and then removing all government communications on it. Proper minimise it.
Let’s be fair the riots were fuelled by X.. that’s enough of a reason.
