Ever supported a Breast Cancer Charity?

Imagine this, you set up a big fundraising event to support your Breast Cancer Charity and then an obscenely rich man starts criticising you, saying “What about Prostate cancer? #allcancersmatter.”

Would you see him as an ally in your struggle or a pain in the prostate?

Today, Hiroshima Day, is the 79th anniversary of the first atomic war. Perhaps we should think about that before we throw our first house brick of the day?

There were fake tweets shared stating an immigrant at the hotel (that was arson attacked) had a gun. The police showed this to be completely false.

Then there was the original tweet claiming the original murderer was called ali Al shakiti ( which means I have to go to my apartment, in Arabic)

At least zuckerberg "seems" to express concern when he's made aware if fake news is shown on his platform.

Musk seems to almost revel in it..

I doubt we are heading for outright civil war, but then again what is the solution if large swathes of the population are not listened to nor feel they have any voice? In those circumstances, it is inevitable that disaffected citizens will kick-off.

People have consistently voted for parties which have promised reduced immigration. Labour also made promises to reduce immigration. Yet it has only gone up. Maybe at some point, people will lose respect for democracy?

Where is the evidence for large swathes of the population not being listened too?

People I speak to are all stridently against the racist rioters. I haven’t met anyone who supports what they are doing or shares their concerns.

Maybe large swathes of the population agree with me and abhor the behaviour and beliefs of this tiny minority?

And there is quite a history of two tier policing in the UK.

Generally speaking, deprived communities have policing imposed on them, whilst affluent communities have policing that supports them.

Black people have experienced a different policing style for a long time and there is a wealth of evidence to support this statement.

It's been what, four weeks..

It's a mess at present but for any government with any issue to expect them to turn around a complete dogs breakfast in four weeks after 14 years of a previous administrations utter failures is bizarre and frankly nonsense..

People are clearly worried about immigration. Some for genuine and informed reasons, others for misinformed and bigoted reasons. Nobody needs to riot and cause harm to other people or property. They are knuckle dragging wankers.

The way he treated the guy who lead the rescue of those kids in the Thai caves was utterly despicable.

On the OP. I don't think we're heading for a civil war. The current issues are caused by a very small number of racists. They don't seem organised enough to forum an army and start a war.

This country is massively divided, and immigration is partly to blame. There are no go areas in places like Dewsbury for instance. The demographics have been changing rapidly ever since Bliar moved the goalposts over 26 years ago with his open door policy.

The population as it is, is too big for the infrastructure we already have in place, and this government will not change it. Ok Starmer says he will build something like 1.5m houses, great. But what about hospitals, Dr’s surgeries, schools, prisons, public transport hubs? The list is massive so I won’t post them all.

Labour will put their fingers in their ear holes and go ‘la la la la la!’ They always have and always will. They abandoned the working class a long time ago. If these protests peter out, and they will. The trades union movement will grab the baton and carry on from there.

As I’ve said before, things will get a lot worse before they even begin to get better. We are in the shit and the so called Tories let this happen. Labour made many many promises, don’t hold your breath waiting to deliver on all if not any of them.

Proportional representation would put an end to the parliamentary game of musical chairs every five years. The idea is long overdue in this country…

Not necessarily.

Gandhis resistance was non-violent

Martin Luther Kings resistance was non-violent

Nelson Mandelas violence led to a non-violent resistance which was far more effective

Hmmm. History check :

There were riots in many parts of India during Gandhis time. There were also many more riots when he was killed.

There were riots when King was killed too.

The country being divided is no accident. It was driven by the Tories, UKIP/Reform with their constant culture wars, attacking and demonising everyone from homeless, people with HIV, foreigners, Muslims, people on benefits, disabled people, barbers, people who eat tofu etc etc. and of course one of the main benefits of Brexit for the ruling classes was the further division it caused.

1. As previously mentioned, are they areas you dont want to go to or are they areas where the law forbids you from going?

2. Infrastructure affects us all immigrant, descendant of immigrant and native. If you seek to reduce population by curbing immigration, why not start with Tommy-10-names? After all he has an Irish passport he uses to travel around, whilst being staunchly anti-eu?

3 and 4. 14 years of an increasing rhetoric, along with an imposition of the right to speech has led us to where we are. We all have right, however these come with responsibilities and consequences.

5. All forms of government are evil.Democracy is bad, apart from all other types we have already tried (this last point said with sarcasm!)

Agreed but Gandhis protests alone were peaceful, as were MLKs. Gandhi can’t be held accountable for people who aren’t following him, nor can MLK be held responsible for something after he’s died

My comment was tongue in cheek tbh, but I was aware Tesla owners weren't that happy with the quality or reliability of their vehicles if that's what you were referring to.

Looking at how busy the Chinese EV manufacturers stands were at the recent Goodwood FoS, compared to others, I suspect car buyers don't care about politics or human rights and Musk knows this.

They do care about how they are*perceived*. Less about the underlying good or evil. The same communication also had one topic: virtue signalling - how people and companies want to be seen by others and how car manufacturers would position themselves and their products based upon how consumers want to be seen.

Quite a few years ago I watched a series of documentaries called Million Dollar Deals and How They Changed the World.

In the last episode they followed this guy who I had never heard of and he took the interviewer in to some remote woodland in a secret location, the man explained that he is building a Hugh underground bunker.

The reason being that him and those like him believe their will be an uprising against the way our world is, and that they would become targets a civil war if you like.

That guy I came to know as Elton Musk, he believes a civil war is coming and others like him they have even prepared for it.

I found that scary.

And a serving councillor who shows drawings of his alien mother.

They are preparing too. They have never said what for - but I'm with them all the way, lol.

True or not I find it interesting that he and those 1%ers are worried enough to build hiding places underground.

The documentary was about BitCoin, Corn Oil and Data Broking. all have been issues on MSM over the years and the impact it has had on us all, At this moment it is data broking which affects privacy.

So the things this doc' discussed at the time came to pass.

I do not watch docs regarding aliens except si-fi or ghost stories except at xmas

"Ever supported a Breast Cancer Charity?

Imagine this, you set up a big fundraising event to support your Breast Cancer Charity and then an obscenely rich man starts criticising you, saying “What about Prostate cancer? #allcancersmatter.”

Would you see him as an ally in your struggle or a pain in the prostate?

Today, Hiroshima Day, is the 79th anniversary of the first atomic war. Perhaps we should think about that before we throw our first house brick of the day?

Message to Elon Musk. “Do one, you knobber!”

Gbat

Quite a few years ago I watched a series of documentaries called Million Dollar Deals and How They Changed the World.

In the last episode they followed this guy who I had never heard of and he took the interviewer in to some remote woodland in a secret location, the man explained that he is building a Hugh underground bunker.

The reason being that him and those like him believe their will be an uprising against the way our world is, and that they would become targets a civil war if you like.

That guy I came to know as Elton Musk, he believes a civil war is coming and others like him they have even prepared for it.

I found that scary."

If I had his billions, I'd build a bunker. Whether there is a civil war, an apocalypse, world war III, or alien invasion, I'd want some chance of surviving.

As it is, I just pray I go quick.

Well. Maybe look at it a different way - those who have the most, and let's face it Musk has the most of all - tend to develop a mind-set that wants to keep that just the way it is - FOR THEM!

That attitude eventually filters to paranoia - that paranoia feeds into a totality of belief.

I don't know if he actually believes that, he just says the things that get the most reaction, so it gets more and more ridiculous. Like his current Twitter ramblings.

I cannot disagree with you at all.

Thats why I say it is like that movie "don't look up"

The 1%ers got away on a space ship to a far away planet only to be eaten by the original population of the planet which was suppose to be their salvation.

Go figure.

I have no opinions on mr musk I do not use social media, all I know is I saw him on a programme I did not understand him, until I got to know him as Elton musk and that he expects us to uprise against his elk and has prepared himself for it.

Thats all I know.

The programme is called "Billion dollar deals and how they changed our world". A BBC program.

If you find it as I haven't make up your own mind.

That wanker could be doing more to support the science of climate change than any other person or country.

"Those n the right seem to be in a perpetual state of fear about something calamitous happening, the anxiety must be exhausting.on the right he’s only ever voted democrat lol

Whatever he is, he's a massive bellend. In my opinion.

Yes. His only aim these days is to stir, provoke and cause controversy, to keep his app busy

He's struggling, approx 10% drop in the number of Twitter users since he took over. struggling pmsl come on mate one of richest men in the world isint it the likes of him you should be backing considering Tesla electric cars his solar business isn’t he and the like the future you crave thought you voted Green Party lol

He's struggling to keep his app busy.

I can't afford a Tesla, and I have no desire to support any business that he involves himself in. so you won’t be getting an electric car or solar panels then lol

If I was in the market for an electric car. I wouldn't buy a Tesla. The payback on for my home having solar panels is too long at the moment.

What's this got to do with Musk trying to keep his app busy?it was you who said he’s struggling tbh

Struggling to keep his app busy

mate he is a modern day Einstein

Didn't know Einstein was a massive bellend?

if you want the planet saving it’s the likes of him that will come up with something to go along way to saving it thought you would champion anyone making solar panels and electric cars give your stance on saving the planet

I don't champion wankers like him.

You might find that he is doing more good for your climate science passion than most countries.

Why is this turning into a critique of my view of Elon Musk's contribution to tackling climate change?

I've made no comments about Elon Musk's contribution to tackling climate change.

I’m responding to your comment that you don’t champion wankers like him.

That wanker could be doing more to support the science of climate change than any other person or country.

Is that not enough for you to champion him, and what has he done that makes you feel the way you do? "

No why would I champion someone who I consider to be a wanker?

Do you champion him?

An example of why I think he's a wanker: The entire situation with Vernon Unsworth. From start to finish.

Elon Musk is an intelligent and driven visionary. He has lofty songs and goals and the tenacity to pursue them.

He can simultaneously be (and he is) a deeply flawed social menace. One does not necessarily affect the other. We can simultaneously applaud his achievements and denounce his social stupidity.

The idea that people must be sorted into "good" and "bad", then apologies made for the bad (or their good minimised/rejected) is nonsense.

"...he is a modern day Einstein..."

No, he really isn't. Intelligent, yes. And driven. But no Einstein.


"

...if you want the planet saving it’s the likes of him that will come up with something to go along way to saving it thought you would champion anyone making solar panels and electric cars give your stance on saving the planet "

He is the loudest in a chorus of visionaries. If it weren't him, it would be someone else.

Credit to him for accelerating the electric vehicle battle against the resistance from "big oil" and "traditional car manufacturers" - that took big balls (or the stubbornness that only someone with ASD and a whole lot of self assurance could bring).

The problem is that nothing really qualifies him to weigh in on social issues. Much like how being a great actor, singer or having a wonderful body doesn't qualify you to speak out on social issues.

Except that as a human being things in the end to balance each other out.

Anyone who has been on Twitter for the last ten years or so will have seen in plain sight the self radicalisation of Elon musk and as his reputation starts to fail so will everything that he is involved with.

The guy has so obviously gone off the deep end and it seems ludicrous that he not see it himself.

Who can forget last year when advertisers on Twitter told Musk, "Unless he cleans up the platform of all the crap on the site that they didn't want their products to be associated with, that they would withdraw their advertising". Musk told then in a famous interview that "He didn't want their advertising" and "They should go fuck themselves".

Well now, after losing billions in advertising revenue he is suing the advertisers in a massive lawsuit in Texas, For not advertising on Twitter.

What next? Is he going to sue individuals for not buying his cars, and not paying him money he thinks he's entitled to? Obviously being so close to Trump has started to rot his brain, or is that the Ket@mine at work?

It’s up to you if you give more weight to the views of someone famous.

That's not totally accurate though? If an individual company decides to not advertise on his platform, it's obviously fine. They have the right to do so.

His lawsuit was against a group called GARM that's actually a part of a federation of advertisers. GARM was recommending brands to avoid advertising on X/twitter. Twitter filed a lawsuit against them for conspiring together to boycott their product. Companies conspiring together is illegal for valid reasons.

As for Musk himself, he is a narcissist and a massive hypocrite.

On the other hand, his achievements when it comes to the progress of technology shouldn't be undermined. Tesla is way ahead of any of the western EVs. Not to mention his achievements on SpaceX and harnessing solar power. Guy has done a lot to tackle environmental issues than all the JSO protestors together.

Seen two tear policing in action. Look at the Manchester airport attack on the police. These dik heads should have been charged and possibly remanded for what they did. Then look at the rioters. Charged, convicted and imprisoned within days.

Twitter filed a lawsuit against them for conspiring together to boycott their product. Companies conspiring together is illegal for valid reasons."

GARM is a small, not-for-profit initiative, and recent allegations that unfortunately misconstrue its purpose and activities have caused a distraction and significantly drained its resources and finances,” the group said in a statement Friday. “GARM therefore is making the difficult decision to discontinue its activities.”

GARM had over 100 members. Four of those members — CVS, Unilever, Mars and the Danish energy company Ørsted — were named defendants in the suit filed in federal court in Texas on Tuesday. The lawsuit could drive away even more advertisers from Twitter, Nandini Jammi and Claire Atkin, founders of watchdog group Check My Ads Institute wrote in an op-ed Thursday. “Everyone can see that advertising on Twitter is a treacherous business relationship for advertisers,” they said.

"I doubt we are heading for outright civil war, but then again what is the solution if large swathes of the population are not listened to nor feel they have any voice? In those circumstances, it is inevitable that disaffected citizens will kick-off.

you had your chance at the ballot box ... it's called democracy .... deal with it

People have consistently voted for parties which have promised reduced immigration. Labour also made promises to reduce immigration. Yet it has only gone up. Maybe at some point, people will lose respect for democracy?"

Most of the convicted rioters have previous convictions, I'd rather live next door to decent, hard working immigrants than any of this feckless lot, they dont represent the best interests of a thriving society.

Musk has a vision and a plan to achieve it, but he knows he can't do it alone. To succeed, he needs to "create experts" who can help turn his plan into reality. His goal is to develop the means for humans to live and thrive on another planet. This requires the ability to travel there, which demands advancements in battery technology for power, as well as communication technologies, satellites, rockets, vehicles, and infrastructure.

He's currently building all of this. Tesla is developing cutting-edge battery technology, SpaceX has made remarkable strides in rocket technology, and Starlink is revolutionising satellite communication. The scope of this ambition is so vast that he recognises it can't be funded solely from his own resources. That's why he has established businesses in each area, generating revenue from breakthroughs that can then be reinvested into the next stages of the plan, driving the continuous evolution of technology.

Musk is aware that he won’t see the completion of this vision within his lifetime. However, by creating profitable businesses, he ensures that those who come after him will have the resources and motivation to keep pushing the plan forward.

Musk has his flaws which the world can see play out in realtime, his determination and resilience are at times his enemy and others his strength. He is different to most people on this planet and does not sit well with many who struggle with his wealth, arrogance and power, but it is this combination of unique factors that have provided us with new technologies that will benefit the whole of mankind.

there was a post saying if he wasn't doing this, someone else would be doing it, I'm not sure that is correct.

there was a post saying if he wasn't doing this, someone else would be doing it, I'm not sure that is correct.

All sounds very exciting and forward thinking. Shame he is such an asshat. Then again, these kind of people are usually narcissists.

Or simply unique.

What comparisons are you trying to make, why add in that name, can you explain? "

In response to your claim that Musk was 'unique', that doesn't mean they're blessed with virtue and integrity.

"As for Musk himself, he is a narcissist and a massive hypocrite.

On the other hand, his achievements when it comes to the progress of technology shouldn't be undermined. Tesla is way ahead of any of the western EVs. Not to mention his achievements on SpaceX and harnessing solar power. Guy has done a lot to tackle environmental issues than all the JSO protestors together.

Has he himself invented any of this stuff or is he an ideas guy with financial muscle to enable others to do the inventing?

Musk has a vision and a plan to achieve it, but he knows he can't do it alone. To succeed, he needs to "create experts" who can help turn his plan into reality. His goal is to develop the means for humans to live and thrive on another planet. This requires the ability to travel there, which demands advancements in battery technology for power, as well as communication technologies, satellites, rockets, vehicles, and infrastructure.

He's currently building all of this. Tesla is developing cutting-edge battery technology, SpaceX has made remarkable strides in rocket technology, and Starlink is revolutionising satellite communication. The scope of this ambition is so vast that he recognises it can't be funded solely from his own resources. That's why he has established businesses in each area, generating revenue from breakthroughs that can then be reinvested into the next stages of the plan, driving the continuous evolution of technology.

Musk is aware that he won’t see the completion of this vision within his lifetime. However, by creating profitable businesses, he ensures that those who come after him will have the resources and motivation to keep pushing the plan forward.

to compare Musk to Hitler is disingenuous, your comparison ignores the atrocities committed by Hitler, which are in no way comparable to Musk's business practices or personality traits! But I guess it is easier to criticise Musk in an exaggerated manner, rather than to make a reasoned argument...

Ideas alone aren't enough. You need to have business leaders who are willing to take the risk with their ideas. You need people like Musk who frequently disrupt the markets amidst businesses who always play it safe.

Compare the speed in which Tesla has made progress with the speed in which the European car manufacturers who have been leaders in automobile manufacturing for long are making progress. It's not just about money. I have two of my university friends working in Tesla in pretty high positions. They have some criticism against the way he tweets. But they both admire him for how open he is to new ideas and execute them if he feels they will work out. Something they never saw in the management of other companies they worked for.

I'm guessing you didn't get my response, it was a reference to uniqueness, being unique isn't always a good thing.
