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.
If I was Charles, I’d offer Elon Musk a knighthood to piss him off.
Musk would have to choose between stoking his gigantic ego with the title at the cost of giving up any post in the federal government as per article I, section 9, clause 8 of the U.S. Constitution or humiliate himself and refuse the title to keep running the orange utan he’s invested billions in.
Well, he has sausage fingers, but he can still do something like what Mummy likely would have done if some South African upstart tried to tell her what to do:
Even amongst Britain’s right leaning folk this is a pretty stupid take…

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.
Too much money, like Michael Jackson and so many others.
Boatloads of drugs and yesmen too.
You can’t blame the drugs lots of high people not interfering with another countries government calling for fascism.
I was going to make a joke about how King Charles should dissolve Elon in a vat of acid, but I’m not sure if that’s comes off as promoting violence in our current climate of oligarchicide.
It would definitely be skirting the line of what we would moderate, but I think we’d probably let it go just because it’s a comic book villain ending rather than saying “shoot him in the head” or whatever.
Plus, it would obviously be a joke.
Edit: all I can picture is this, but with Elon’s face on it.
