Sources: Elon Musk and his right-wing allies discussed how to destabilize the UK Labour government and remove PM Keir Starmer, beyond Musk's aggressive X posts

Votes of millions of people don't count.  —  Fiction threatens to become reality as the equivalents of Dr. Strangelove and James Bond villain Elliot Carver plan world domination.  —  archive.ph/waCUV Tony Yates / @t0nyyates : This story condenses to ‘we have sources that tell us in private that he is trying to do what he said he was trying to do in tweets to 200m people, entirely openly.’ www.ft.com/content/dd4b... Mujtaba Rahman / @mijrahman : What a remarkable headline  —  “Musk examines how to oust Starmer as UK premier before next election”  —  “His view is that western civilisation itself is threatened,” one of the people added.  —  Yes.  By him.  —  www.ft.com/content/dd4b... Blair McDougall MP / @blairmcdougall : A foreign oligarch is plotting to overthrow our democratically elected head of government.  And the Tories chose this week to politically align with him.  There are societal risks to Badenoch's pizzagate tactics but also huge political risks for her in importing (very unpopular) Trumpism into the UK. Uma Kumaran MP / @umakumaran : Foreign influence and industrial pumping of disinformation on a scale we've not previously seen.  —  He's tweeted re UK politics over 200x in the last 9 days.  —  He's the richest man in the world and owns one of the world's biggest social ‘media’ platforms.  —  We must fight back … Jim Pickard / @pickardje : literally an attempt to subvert our democracy  —  www.ft.com/content/dd4b... Mujtaba Rahman / @mijrahman : Last time I checked the EU never tried to overthrow a UK Govt. Where are the sovereignists now?  Their silence is deafening  —  www.ft.com/content/dd4b... Ian Fraser / @ianfraser : How Elon Musk became the first tech tycoon to fall down the rabbit hole of radicalisation by his own product, taking his lead on “grooming gangs” from a bunch of far-right disinformation accounts. Bob / @bobrmitchell : The irony of this is off the scale, Musk now believes his own lies and disinformation!  —  How a handful of X accounts took Elon Musk ‘down the rabbit hole’ on UK politics.  —  www.ft.com/content/8e91... Kadri Liik / @kadriliik : So, welcome to the world of Russia-watchers!  We have spent years discussing who feeds Putin all that crap he seems to believe.  —  www.ft.com/content/8e91... Anne Applebaum / @anneapplebaum : How Musk is being radicalized by his own “For You” feed, which is providing him false information  —  from @financialtimes.com:  —  “he had not been relying on conversations with a UK source for his information, but preferred to do his own research online”  —  www.ft.com/content/8e91... X: James Ball / @jamesrbuk : Remember when Musk - and quite a few people in the commentariat now supporting him - were howling in outrage at junior Labour staffers door knocking for the Democrats (their sister party), as “foreign interference”?

He has created a financial crisis for Britain. Elon Musk / @elonmusk : Unbelievable. Starmer must go. Pekka Kallioniemi / @p_kallioniemi : Recently, Musk has interfered in European politics, promoting Reform UK, a right-wing, pro-Kremlin, populist party led by Nigel Farage. He also defended Tommy Robinson, a hooligan and career criminal who spread false information about a Syrian boy. 8/22 [image] Jonathan Lis / @jonlis1 : This is absolutely obscene.
