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 mean, if the king really wants to become beloved of the people he should indeed make a visit to parliament, and request they dissolve Musk’s UK holdings.

      If someone luigi’d musk the US and the entire world would be better off. Somebody else can run his companies, probably do a better job, and not be an asshole while doing it.

    Surely all this ketamine consumption is shortening his life expectancy, right? Or he’s going to live up to 99 years like most assholes?

    As a Brit I think Elon Musk should fuck off meddling in ours and other countries politics.

    I also think that King Charles should dissolve the monarchy as it’s sickening to have such a thing in 2025.

    People often say but tourism. The fact is France gets many more visitors a year than Britain and they got rid of their monarchy. We could make more turning Buckingham Palace into a bougie hotel for instance.

    Is that what “critics” argue about?
    How about the massive South African white elephant in the room:

    Why the fuck should Charles even acknowledge Musk’s noises?

      They’re manufacturing consent for the plutocracy — that has always owned politics — instead of doing what one would expect in a democracy… bringing in a psychiatrist to explain the mental illness indicators Musk is very obviously displaying.

      I wouldn’t be surprised if he has a brain tumor. He’s obviously fucked in the head in many more ways than one, and none of them are “normal”.

        Aren’t all leaders?

        For politicians, it takes a particular mindset to think you’re the solution to other people’s problems and run for any election. I instantly distrust people who thrust themselves in the limelight and propose to rule others for their own good.

        As for CEO’s, it’s very well known that a disturbing percentage of them display psychopathic traits.
