I wondered what the drug-addled wannabe world dictator might've been tweeting overnight, and found this new poll pinned so his followers couldn't miss it:
@elonmusk
America should liberate the people of Britain from their tyrannical government
Yes
No

Currently at just over 800,000 votes, slightly over 60% of them Yes votes.
First intelligent reply under that poll that I saw was from Larry the Cat:
@Number10cat
A tyrant is a ruler who exercises total power harshly or cruelly - followers of your account will be familiar.

Larry's response is much more popular than Musk's stupid poll, with 3.6K likes out of 5O.5K views.
The idiot's poll has 31K likes, but that's out of 12 million views - 240 times as many as Larry's tweet, but less than 9 times as many likes.
The poll, stupid as it is, does show Musk's continuing public breakdown.

Apparently the fool never heard of NATO. And last I heard, the UK is part of NATO and I don't believe that alliance will roll over and let trump/Musk's USA "liberate" the UK.

In 'Die Another Day' Bond's arch-villain, a former diamond magnate, built an orbiting solar weapon to threaten mankind with destruction. In 'You Only Live Twice' Bond's nemesis, Ernst, tried to manipulate world powers into a nuclear conflict. In 'Goldfinger' Auric sought to destroy the world's gold reserves, probably to increase the value of his Bitcoin holdings.

(289 posts)I imagine half of twitter is bots. Also he said he'd resign in another poll and failed to carry through. So how much is the US swayed by fake people. Wouldn't it be nice to know who's real. The internet gave fuel to some very bad actors and predators

(1,094 posts)Liberate itself from the egomaniacal megalomaniac and his solely owned subsidiary also know as Donald Trump. The sooner Musk is removed fro the world stage the better. I hope our allies' intelligence communities have a "plan" in place to eliminate his interference.

(2,352 posts)Trump and Musk are all about monetizing (i.e. massive fraud) their positions. This talk about annexing Canada, Panama, Greenland, the UK is all diversionary. Trump and Musk are both masters of this tactic.
Whenever Tesla fails to meet promises (which is just about all the time), Musk throws out a shiny new object (new software release, dancing robots or whatever) and people completely forget about the important issues. Trump is the same way.
Don't be suckers. We need to hammer him on the terrible things he really does plan to do, not the bullcrap he throws out there as a smokescreen.
