Elon Musk has launched his most high-profile appeal to try and influence British politics, but the approach is unlikely to prove effective.

Summary

Elon Musk has called on King Charles III to dissolve the UK Parliament, citing past controversies involving Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the Rotherham Scandal.

Musk accused Starmer of inaction during his tenure as head of the Crown Prosecution Service and urged a new general election, drawing backlash for spreading misinformation.

Critics argue that the monarchy lacks the unilateral power to dissolve Parliament under the 2022 Dissolution and Calling of Parliament Act.

Musk’s growing political involvement globally, including support for right-wing parties, has sparked calls for regulation against foreign interference.

    I hope he suggests musk seeks professional medical mental health.
    Musk is not in a healthy position. Someone needs to reach out to him, so he gets help

      I wouldn’t be surprised if he had long Covid clouding his brain, he started going loony not long after the first big covid wave in the US…

      Used to be-

      • An introvert

      • Kept his opinions largely to himself outside some occasional jabs (ie. ‘The trampoline is working!’)

      • Intelligent

      • Supported universal health, free university and UBI

      Post 2021 -

      • Very opinionated, but mostly not his opinions- those of other people.

      • Extroverted to a high level, constantly talking.

      • Dumb

      • No longer supports any of the left ideals he used to, now it’s all full extreme-right.
