That’s not trolling the UK govt anymore - that’s straight up campaigning for a political party in a foreign country.

It’s serious.

I believe Musk is strategically financing Reform UK, positioning them to attract conservative voters and pave the way for a Westminster general election victory.

kuyvonbraun.bsky.social•89 days ago

There’ll be a wave of far right parties winning everywhere (France & Germany soon), everyone seems to follow the US.

Fortunately due to the inevitable & imminent climate apocalypse we won’t have to suffer long…

bankwell.bsky.social•89 days ago

Look at recent election for President of Romania. The Courts have ordered a recount due to suspected cyber attacks, especially TicToc.

kuyvonbraun.bsky.social•89 days ago

Yup…the next US “election” will be conducted by Twitter poll

*I’m only half joking

bankwell.bsky.social•89 days ago

I think even Polls may well be bypassed for the next US election Kuy. This is the other half of your “half joking”😉

kuyvonbraun.bsky.social•89 days ago

Yup 🔥🇺🇸

patrickkincaid.bsky.social•89 days ago

I’m desperate to see the slightest movement now from the government to suggest they want to tackle this threat.

soopiya.bsky.social•89 days ago

I think it’s inevitable. There won’t be enough time for Starmer’s policies to take effect within 4 years. The Tories are in a mess with Kemi in charge and Elon will buy the election here as he has in the states. Scary times.

readingrenee.bsky.social•89 days ago

100% they are running the same game

drmjphillips.bsky.social•89 days ago

I am genuinely terrified of the prospect. It's like watching a crash happening in slow motion... I feel powerless.

robertthomson54.bsky.social•89 days ago

It’s already here and will get even worse come January. Four years of info warfare to boost Farage

cameramanjim.bsky.social•89 days ago

Illegal immigrant Musk is obsessed by illegal immigration.
But with him it’s all about race.

pantsdownpolitics.bsky.social•89 days ago

Democracy was the skirt behind which naked capitalism hid. Musk has emerged into plain sight, waving his testicles at the voters.

pantsdownpolitics.bsky.social•89 days ago

It's his toy and he can play with it any way he chooses. What is the point of being the richest man if you don't have fun with your money? He has already bought the USA

moodybluemusings.bsky.social•87 days ago

Elon stay the fuck out of UK politics. Tell your lover Putin to fuck off as well. Jesus Fucking Christ.

srichgtr.bsky.social•89 days ago

It will have to be run on a non Twitter platform as nearly everyone has buggered off that.

septemberrising.bsky.social•89 days ago

And Scotland must leave the UK via its 2026 election we have had to endure Englands Brexit, the Tories, the Labour Party, we don’t want to Endure its Reform Party embrace to. Or this is what awaits us, #YesToIndependence 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

batesy.bsky.social•89 days ago

This is frightening

grumpymark.bsky.social•89 days ago

His megalomania has reached the point where he sees himself as being more powerful, globally, than an entire "1st world" nation of more than 68 million people.

Worryingly, he may be correct due to his wealth.

m1304.bsky.social•89 days ago

Only a fool would make a prediction about an election five years in the future... oh yeah.

southsaxon.bsky.social•55 days ago

I don’t know a single person that would vote for Reform. Mind you I live on a council estate and have never played golf.

lizzyjprice.bsky.social•89 days ago

I don’t understand why we aren’t having a debate over whether/at what point X should be banned for hate speech or spreading misinformation. It happened in Brazil. Govts aren’t powerless.

joelazaris.bsky.social•89 days ago

Given how close he is to Trump, the government probably feels they have to try and "manage" him rather than antagonise him. Yet another reason why we need to rejoin the EU and leverage greater power collectively

damianbarr.bsky.social•89 days ago

Very this: he is playing Risk and thinks we are just pieces in his game. Wrong. But we need to be aware

brendythefrenzy.bsky.social•89 days ago

Just ban twitter already. Or massage his ego, tell him that he's the greatest genius ever and that we want him to build us loads of space rockets or something

pecologico.bsky.social•89 days ago

I think it's even scarier. Putin wants Farage in number 10. Musk and Trump are just playing on the same team.

toycath.bsky.social•86 days ago

I have said this for a while.. what's the plan?

jw2801.bsky.social•89 days ago

What I don't understand is that NOBODY has suggested he interfered in the US election with illegal voting. He's got all the means at his fingers, is utterly immoral and it benefits him hugely. It's almost impossible to imagine that he didn't illegally interfere!

ianpethick.bsky.social•89 days ago

Does Farage even need Musk? Our existing media is obsessed with Reform and their weird entourage.

ladylinds.bsky.social•89 days ago

While I hate this for you all in the UK, I'm hoping it distracts him from destroying things here in the US for a while.

badsneakers.bsky.social•89 days ago

The Goebbels playbook has already started.

paulkcmf.bsky.social•89 days ago

It guaranteed, he got away with it America along with other media outlets. They will carry on trying to skew what people get told until they control multiple countries

officialstehee.bsky.social•89 days ago

Danny Kruger is the face of the Heritage Foundation in UK. Farage is the face of the highest bidder (in this case Space Karen).

It is not coming, it is here.

fifipottier.bsky.social•89 days ago

Especially with the abortion conversation!
I wish they’d stop giving the toad man media coverage!

manchegoblue.bsky.social•89 days ago

We can only hope he’ll have been sectioned well before the election happens

ianmusgrave.bsky.social•89 days ago

There’s no evidence of electoral interference in the US. Much to my regret, Trump won fair and square and the left are deluding themselves if they think otherwise

emmakennedy.bsky.social•89 days ago

When I say interfere I mean the lengths he went to in PA to flood the zone with targetted ads that looked like they came from Harris when they came from him. That's disinformation. It's not illegal. But it tipped the dial. He did just enough to turn enough people off her.

emmakennedy.bsky.social•89 days ago

It's the exact same tactic Cambridge Analytica used to pull off.

dibbleysdad.bsky.social•89 days ago

Yes, there was no "interference" as such in the traditional sense of the word, just a massive onslaught of obvious lies spread by the worlds richest man. Either way the dumb fucks got what they voted for, I'm sure it will go well for them.

jennywren.bsky.social•89 days ago

He did win.
But to good to know he didn’t win bigly, he won by the smallest percentage in decades.

annewitha-e.bsky.social•88 days ago

Not satisfied with being the richest man in the world he wants to be the ruler of all the world. Megalomaniac.

medru.bsky.social•89 days ago

He's gunning for another planet. This one is a toy to him now.
He wants what at the White House?

daicannesquire.bsky.social•89 days ago

Active interference in British internal politics by weaponised social media manipulation has been going on since 2016 at least. And traditional media manipulation for much longer. Murdoch and Rothmere played it like chess, Putin played it like kerplunk and Musk plays it like buckaroo.

mgharris.bsky.social•89 days ago

The referendum was a simple thing to hack compared to our FPTP system in constituencies where there's now 4 credible parties and lots of tactical voting.

daicannesquire.bsky.social•89 days ago

There is however a large contingency of people who in their desire to appear rebellious free thinkers credulously swallow any simple statement that the new media repeat three or more times. These cybergumbies have dragged Overton’s window so far right that Overton’s shed is now an unsafe structure.

mgharris.bsky.social•89 days ago

Oh indeed. I know one of them. But If this last election showed anything it is that the people of this country are willing and able to engage in tactical voting. That's how Lib Dems most of our 72 seats.

mgharris.bsky.social•89 days ago

Our media landscape was already pretty much dominated by Tory supporting oligarchs. Which is why we are now seeing Labour described as the most hated government for ages, as though people have forgotten austerity, Johnson's corruption and ineptitude etc (They haven't forgotten)

andy-1967.bsky.social•89 days ago

Yes, according to the RW media there’s almost an insurrection brewing. While the leader of the opposition rails against policies her government introduced and lies unashamedly.
