Oh please try Chuck. Please do. The one incontrovertible way to end the monarchy immediately would be if one of the inbred stands up and tries to exercise any real power.
There’s actually a very good stage play about this exact subject.
A lot of troopies in the Commonwealth swore an oath on enlisting that then transfered to Charles. Charles has the biggest gang ever but Musk just wants to troll aus and canada more.
Keep up.
Okay but how serious do they take the exact wording? In the US they swear to the Constitution and take that very seriously. It’s why Trump will need to destroy the military if he wants to eventually use it as his personal force. Are the British soldiers willing to arrest or kill their elected leaders on the word of a monarch?
The queen dissolved parliament a few years ago, and while she is dead now I don’t think her death was related
Parliament asked her to do it though. That’s a bit different. If a monarch tried to force the issue it would go very badly. It’s one of those technical power versus real power things.
It would be really cool seeing a monarch get guillotined in the 21st century
I’ll settle for a few billionaires, I guess…
The billionaires are japanese. And the yen billion isn’t much more than a slightly well off commoner.
The only billionaires in the UK are Japanese? Sure about that?
No, in Japan.
I think you missed the joke…despite the fact that I explained the joke as part of the core concept ofthe joke.
Apparently everyone missed your joke.
Right???
I’d much rather this happen to billionaires. They have actual power.
Why not both?
The one time the conservative vote got split and let the liberals into power without a majority of the vote (instead of the reverse) and he thinks it is an emergency and an injustice worthy of bringing back monarchy powers…
Just tough it out for 5 years like the rest of the world is going to do with Trump.
If you think the US will have fair elections again after 4 years then I have some very bad news for you concerning the integrity of Russia’s elections.
Kinda bad but really funny headline. He’s calling for Parliament to be dissolved and new general elections to be held, which the monarch can do since 2022 as was the case before 2011. But the headline does have merit, as in constitutional monarchies, everything the monarch does should (pronounced “must”) first be advised by democratic functions—in this case, the prime minister. And He probably will get another English Civil War if He dissolves parliament without the PM’s advice.

Rest of the UK just going to sit and watch?
Watch some English people going at each other? Probably. Buy popcorn shares.
We gotta maintain the canonical continuity. With respecting historical precedent by the virtue of the common law system, Ireland shall free herself from the retcon and reestablish against discontinuity. Charles? Check. Fighting for democracy? Check. Scotland and Ireland as they should be, independent and without the EU’s EWsgusting meddling? Check. ¡Viva la revolución
My guess is, Scotland would leave that sinking ship, become a sovereign nation, and join the EU.
We tried that. There’s no apatite for udi
It probably wouldn’t be much of a “civil war”, pretty much everyone would just say “that’s nice Charles” and then go pass a law explicitly removing that ability.
My sanity isn’t ready for an reality where Elon fucking Musk is fucking shit up globally. Trump was bad enough, but this shit? This is what will eventually cause a global conflict against fucking fascists of all things.
We already did this shit once, are we really going to do it again?
Trump is dying. Putin is dying. Hopeful megalomaniacs are looking to fill the vacuum when the boomers pass on. Someone had to step up. Elon decides it’s his time
I agree, I just was naïve enough to think that maybe we had grown a little bit wiser. I was obviously wrong. So woefully wrong.
sounds like the old man didn’t learn his lesson the first time.
He most certainly did not.
Wow it’s almost like he wants to destabilize the western world! How peculiar. 🤔
!!
He managed to buy the American presidency so why not aim for more?
That’s the thing I don’t get. Trump got the presidency, he can just carry Elon aside like a burger wrapper
Are you under the impression that Trump actually has a lot of money? You don’t get rich by bankrupting businesses, and he’s done a lot of that.
He certainly doesn’t have enough to maintain the lifestyle that he’s grown to love.
He’s got bribes from all mayor tech companies willing to get in his favor. He doesn’t need any more money. He can order the mint to print him a stack.
He’s got immunity. He can litarally rob a bank and claim his presidential immunity. Hell he can kill Elon and steal his stuff LEGALLY
At least he’s not smart about it and just yells it all in public. If he ever realizes he can do it quietly it’ll be an even bigger problem.
Concerning
King Charles is worse as a person than most of the UK government, for Musk’s declared values (I mean, not advertised, but even of the world domination kind) too.
What exactly do you mena by that? Would he not be the kind of leader Musk wants or something?
He’s a bigoted corrupt type, of the kind who are friends with half the small dictators and petty monarchs in the world. Musk seems to be over that, with the way Starlink is aimed to become some sort of “planetary cell network” in addition to “planetary internet”.
I mean, despite the way many people hate Musk, he and people similar to him seem to be interested in moving resolution of conflicts from battlefields to capital dimension, which is good.
But considering they haven’t yet managed to do that - licking up to King Charles may be in line with the rest.
Starlink is a means to censor and spy on people.
How’s that different from any ISP?
There’s still time for SpaceX to do the right thing and load him in the next starship launch next week
I say strap him to the outside before they launch instead of putting him inside, preferably against the heat shield.
It’s important to get empirical evidence of what happens if you strap a man to a rocket. Theoreticals are nice, but hard data is what makes science progress.
Just like the end of Gravity’s Rainbow.
Or the beginning of Planet Hulk.
Indeed, launch Leon’s ass to Mars. He can take Putin’s Sock Puppet with him and sell Tesla’s.
Yeah and he is pushing the neo nazi party before the German election.
When I was younger, my sister teased and provoked me (I mean she still does but much less). Every time this happened, my parents told me to just ignore her. I think media should do the same when it comes to Elon Musk, since damn, everyone who doesn’t willingly choose ignorance already sees who he is. By this you are just giving him more exposure.
That’s not how it works—actually, that’s not how anything works. It’s not about doing the right thing; it’s all about what drives the most attention, clicks, or money.
There’s a reason every media outlet reports on every little thing the fat guy or this bozo does or says. There’s a reason you didn’t ignore this news and felt compelled to comment on it.
It’s the same reason 99% of these commenters have no idea who someone like Demis Hassabis is, was or will be: it doesn’t drive attention.
It’s hard to say what the responsible and ethical approach is for journalists given it is newsworthy that the richest man in the world (who is also extremely influential to the highest office of the most influential country of the world) is encouraging such an extreme and unexpected regime change, but also Musk, like Trump, puts out so much noise it’s hard to predict what will actually be policy they persue vs what is just noise
He’s not he-who-shall-not-be-named. Talking about him won’t make him more powerful.
But it does. His whole power is his ability to stir the conversation.
I mean, musk is a private citizen.
Surely the CIA has all his comms tapped, right?
…right?
Technically this is all foreign facing communication with extremist organizations.
Sips tea
It’s time like this that makes me wish the deep state was real, but there is nobody in control behind the scenes. The world is a chaotic shit hole and we’re all being held hostage and forced along the ride.
His mum could have pulled it off in a heartbeat. He would be lucky to make it out of Buckingham…
musk getting guillotined is something i would like to watch in the near future :)
the finding out phase can’t come soon enough.
It’s already come multiple times. But people don’t seem to learn. We had Trump 1.0.-Covid-Brexit. Now we have Trump 2.0-BirdFlu-Elon Boogaloo.
Funny enough, that’s literally the plot of the play King Charles III that ran on the West End about a decade ago.
Spoiler alert: fictional KCIII doesn’t get very far.
