    Are you comparing someone posting something "far left" on here as having the same level of influence as The richest man in the world sharing it with 200 million followers including an army of retweet bots?

    The level of global support it generates feeds the belief in the extremists who are attacking our police and looting our shops, that they have huge support and they are justified in doing what they are doing. We need calming voices right now before more people are hurt or, God forbid, people die.



    Ps please post some links to examples of far left extremism. Colour me fascinated.

    you do know he is the head designer for the rockets at spacex? He self taught rocket science using text books. Id say thats pretty clever. He works about 80h per week on design and engineering.

    According to him, hes voted Democrat for majority of elections. Not sure whats happened, I'm not as clued up as many on American politics, but perhaps he's gearing up to go into politics himself?

    Switched over to Trump recently, and very vocally. He speaks with his money, and I don't think he really ever gave anything to the Dems.

    He's taught himself absolutely nothing. He's the head designer of absolutely nothing, and the only thing he spends 80 hours a week doing is being the head troll on a social media network he overpaid for because he legally had to.

    He's going to go down as one of the biggest grifters in history.

    I'm afraid this is not true. The design team of highly skilled engineers design the parts and Elon will give approval to parts presented to him as he as heads the design team.

    There is this weird impression that he's like Tony Stark whereas actually he's just a project manager with a ridiculously skilled team. He openly admitted on the Joe Rogan podcast that the level of his involvement with the rocket was to order they designed it to be pointy rather than round as he thought it was funny because Sacha Baron Cohen said that in the dictator.

    Yes he recruited the team and yes he was clearly business savvy in the early days.

    But noone who is working 80 hours a week is tweeting all day long like him. I suspect he does little to no actual work these days... Although I'm sure he sits in a lot of meetings (annoying the crap out of everyone in them)

    So you think that Starmer and people who support him are far left? The mind boggles.
    As a Green Party member, I suppose I must be a Marxist-Leninist....

    I can't believe people still buy into the self-aggrandising ******** he spins about himself.

    I'm not on twitter(X) or Facebook. I am on Instagram.
    It's about time we all stopped using these sewers of ignorance, especially X.

    Imagine walking home alone on a pitch dark night. Your path goes by a field. You can’t see a thing but its sounds like there are thousands of people out there. They’re all shouting and screaming and wailing like madmen. Do you…

    a) Stop and have a listen because you might learn something.

    b) Run for it.

    Trump is a self confessed dictator in the making, once in power he will ensure no further elections are allowed, dissolve the Justice department, FBI and other police agencies.

    He will fire 50,000 government workers and replace them with MAGA fanatics, give huge tax cuts to the US billionaires, pharmaceutical and oil and gas conglomerates, scrap environmental controls on pollution, deregulate health and safety programs in the workplace, ban wind farms, (and ironically electric cars) increase taxes for all working class families, deny medicare to millions and scrap the medical and assistance to disabled veterans

    Oh, and deport 10 million people he deems shouldn't be in the country.

    He will free all the people convicted in the Jan 6 2021 storming of the Capitol buildings resulting in injuries and deaths

    He's voted himself (his Supreme court judges he appointed) to have immunity from prosecution, he will ban all abortions, even if the result of rape or incest, ban IVF, ban contraception, and force all education curriculums to follow the Christian Nationalist doctrine.

    That's just the start.

    If he loses the election he and his Heritage Foundation project 2025 buddies have already made plans to refuse to accept the result, and bloodshed will undoubtedly follow with his Nazi Maga's running riot again.

    His bestest buddy Elon Musk has agreed to fund Trump's campaign to the tune of $45 million per month.

    That's all I need to know about Elon Musk
