Tech boss was addressing the ‘unite the kingdom’ protest organised by Tommy Robinson via video link

Elon Musk has called for a “dissolution of parliament” and a “change of government” in the UK while addressing the crowd attending the “unite the kingdom” rally, organised by the far-right activist Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, known as Tommy Robinson.

The X owner, who dialled in via a video link and spoke to Robinson while thousands of attenders watched along, also railed against the “woke mind virus” and told the crowd that “violence is coming” and that “you either fight back or you die”.

Speaking at the rally, he said: “I really think that there’s got to be a change of government in Britain. You can’t – we don’t have another four years, or whenever the next election is, it’s too long. Something’s got to be done. There’s got to be a dissolution of parliament and a new vote held.”

    Doesn’t anyone ever make the connection that BILLIONAIRES SHOULDN’T EXIST

    I don’t mean kill the person or assassinate them … just separate them from their money. The idea of someone owning and controlling so much money and wealth is only detrimental to the rest of humanity.

    Get rid of excessive wealth and you will solve 99.9% of the world’s problems. It won’t create a utopia but it would be a hell of a lot better world than what we have now.

      I love you, fellow champion of rational thought. Their money only exists by mutual consent. Their ownership of things only exists by mutual consent. We can revoke our consent. They have built many systems, of government, of policing, around us and around them to protect their money and ownership, but at the end of the day, even these systems are powered by people and only exist by mutual consent. Their defenses require us to be willing to fight each other, that is why they work so hard to keep us willing to fight each other. If we stop fighting each other for long enough, we might just realize they are simply frightened, selfish human individuals just like any of the rest of us. They may be billionaires, but they are not gods, we just cower before them and their systems as if they were.

      We can change this, if we work together, instead of against each other.

      The (not) funny thing is that money is not worth anything objectively, we give it value. We could decide they own nothing.

        Great point and one I always refer to as well … money and wealth only exist because we all believe it to have value and purpose.

        It’s a modern day religion that only exists because we all put our faith and belief in it all.

        And just like every ancient faith and belief … if one day enough of us or all of us stop believing in it, all that wealth and power just evaporates and means nothing.
