Unfortunately, the ramifications from these radical behaviors will take a while to bite back. But when they do, Musk will be history.

thelittlesaint.bsky.social•17 days ago

It’s incredible that he can’t see this already, ketamine Karen has been getting carried away and actually believes he’ll get away with it 🤦🏼‍♂️

pantheist.bsky.social•17 days ago

He will for a while. That’s why it’s better to let him take this extreme control he will fall harder when the consequences of the actions take effect. I think there will be a global against Musk coup from many leaders. Hopefully bankrupt him.

Shocking 😳

I wonder why he hates helping people in poverty so much? Does he get some kind of thrill by saying absolutely appalling things to and about those he doesn't like? Leaving the cesspit of his X platform was a relief but even here it's difficult to avoid what he's doing and saying!

We have too many candidates to determine who the actual Antichrist is. Does the Bible allow for an oligarchy of Antichrists?

If only these republican congressmen and women could open there eyes to the real threat Musk poses to our society

The same strategy he used to influence the 2024 election.

It's takes some level of pure evil as the world's richest man to make your first target the world's poorest people.

Lotsa aid to the unelected (questionably) illegal immigrant who gets $20+ BILLION of taxpayer money, but God forbid the people with no food water or health care should get any assistance 🤨

X is state media for Trump and the oligarchs.

Don’t you think it’s time for anyone in @houseofcommons.parliament.uk
@houseoflords.parliament.uk
with an ounce of moral fibre to leave XTwitter without delay?

What a rat musk is

Musk is lying vile piece of shit and he is suing companies to make them advertise (and give Musk money). This dude is out of his mind. Musk is suing private companies to make then give him money. I thought fucking conservatives were pro-business. https://www.npr.org/2025/02/01/nx-s1-5283271/elon-musk-lawsuit-advertisers-boycott-new

Musk isn't a conservative; he's a techo-libertarian opportunist.

mjk4mj.bsky.social•17 days ago

The UK and the EU should ban his Xhitter site. Musk will continue to lie and incite violence to get Nazis into power throughout Europe. Musk is an evil piece of shit. If Hitler had a social media site, you'd ban it.

Literally new stories every hour confirming USAID as a slush fund for progressive and neo-Marxist causes.

Elon and X should be taken down for good

All of this serves as a perfect template for what Musk could do in the UK. Labour NEEDS to tackle the overseas donation issue, contain media lies, create the mantra that Reform/Tories = Musk and use MI6 to establish Musk's links to Putin. Wake up, this is war.

These conspiracy theories have gone berserk on Facebook as well. My nonprofit is bombarded with hatebots screaming about USAID dollars being used for transgender healthcare in communist countries.

Note: my nonprofit has nothing to do with USAID, much less foreign aid.

You can’t make this up.

bevyresists.bsky.social•14 days ago

I’m seeing it really ramp up on Facebook
