@@albertbrammer9263 Just a little heads up, do you realise how much 550billion dollars actually is. He’d never need to make one more sale of anything and spend 10 million a day on sweets and still for his entire life be the richest man in the world. What anyone does to try to affect him will result in nothing. You are all talking like he’s clueless. He has more brains and understanding than most. Or do you think he’s just been lucky.
Musk's net worth is based in large part on Tesla shares. Tesla shares are massively overpriced due to expectations of massive growth in the future. If those expectations aren't met then his wealth collapses quite significantly.
I believe in free speech but surely the voice of a rich man from another country should not be able to drown out the voices of the British people. His voice should not carry more weight ( volume) because he has more money than the people of this country.
Your "but" is misplaced. Restricting the reach of rich, unprincipled fools is inherent to preserving the voice of the general public. This is recognized in liberal philosophy: my liberty only extends to the limits of others' liberty. Restriction is not oppression: it is intrinsic to communal freedom because total liberty for any is tyranny for some. The only question is where to fairly draw the line.

if you understand South Africa, you will understand where Elon Musk is up to. For 25 years, South Africa has had to deal with elon musk people who launched their campaign in the form of DEMOCRATIC ALLIANCE, HELEN ZILLE When finaly the ANC went into coalition with HELEN ZILLE PARTY , they chose a person just as obnoxious like ELON MUSK , by name of CHABANAC to be in an important ministry . This party was talking about "FIGHT BACK" when Nelson Mandela was still president of South Africa . Everyhting that came afterwards from Obama is a muslim , Obama is not american born can be traced back to the "FIGHT BACK " against NELSON MANDELA in 1999 by these type of South Africans
Muskrat didn't want to buy Twitter because of all the bots, but was forced to because he couldn't take back his threat to buy the platform. 😂 That is the "genius" that the fanboys worship. He and Trump are perfect for each other.
He should handle it by calling it out as he has done but to do it repeatedly. He has to 1) Stand up to Musk's bullying 2) Immediately begin a process leading to press and media reform (Leveson 2) and 3) Begin discussions with the EU about controlling Twitter and other social media platforms. Democracy will crumble unless something serious is done, NOW.
He should prosecute him for spreading hate and endangering Jess Philips. He should sue him for libel (of course the money is not an issue for Musk) but he should do it anyway. He should ban his companies from the UK, he should not allow him to travel to the UK.
You have given British politics way too much respect when they have done nothing more than crapped on the people they are meant to represent. Cheers James

@@stuc3195 Whether they use it or not from not liking is not the point is it?

When in fact, we now know, his intentions had little to do with the fiscal success of the company, instead he just wanted to have his own giant soapbox and a resultant brave new world (sarc)…
Starmer has to stay strong and keep a lot of supporters around him. If Musk can't get Starmer, he will try to cozy up to Starmer's political opponents.
Elon Musk, Nigel Farage, Donald Trump - they all want the same thing: attention. The best way of getting to them is to ignore them and not give them the attention they crave. They LOVE it when you talk about them. So just don't do it. The only reason they have become prolific figures is because you talk about any and every tweet they make. So stop it. Don't fall for their click bait. Don't fall for their vain press releases. Starve them of the attention they crave. Stop talking about them.

You’ve got to laugh at this video because the British government can’t do anything about him or anyone else
It is just wrong for one man to have that much influence on society, especially when it's not positive. It is dangerous
But he wouldn't have that much say if media outlets stopped sanewashing it by reporting on everything he and his 3form plc stooge says and does.
Sure. Like Bill Gates and George Soros you mean?
"When exposing a crime is treated as committing a crime, you are being ruled by criminals." ~ Edward Snowden
Yeah, Brazil never caved to Elmo, Elmo caved to Brazil’s laws
Elmo is a beloved Muppet character from the children's television show Sesame Street. Elon is a beloved Trump billionaire buddy.
@ sure, and he gets triggered the same way Xi Jin Ping gets when compared to Pooh Bear…
@@DiogoSalazar Yes, puppets or muppets? perhaps sums up many of the world leaders (or the men pulling the strings).
Oh, and we are doing so well with a judicial regime that takes all the decisions that belong to the National Congress, an economy collapsing, and a Minister of Economy who never tires of taxing the poorest...MAS FOI PRA SALVAR A DEMOCRACIA NÉ PALHAÇO....
Here's a qaint idea. How about the media and Starmer simply ignore him. You know, like the way 30 million people left X for BlueSky. Just ignore his content.
And ignore Farridge, Yaxley Lennon, Habib, Jenrick etc. as well.
Perhaps you could set an example?😊
I agree. Why is anyine taking notice of a billionaire or a celebrity? Their views carry no more weight than anyine elses. He should keep his nose out of UK politics. I would have thought he has got enough to do with the mess the US is in. He should be concentrating on 'making America great again'. Not that it ever was.😅
Would be nice if you could, but as long as he has billions, is using those billions to fund groups. Is in bed with the president of the world's most powerful country. There comes a time where a person is just too big to ignore.
if you understand South Africa, you will understand where Elon Musk is up to.
For 25 years, South Africa has had to deal with elon musk people who launched their campaign in the form of DEMOCRATIC ALLIANCE, HELEN ZILLE
When finaly the ANC went into coalition with HELEN ZILLE PARTY , they chose a person just as obnoxious like ELON MUSK , by name of CHABANAC to be in an important ministry . This party was talking about "FIGHT BACK" when Nelson Mandela was still president of South Africa . Everyhting that came afterwards from Obama is a muslim , Obama is not american born can be traced back to the "FIGHT BACK " against NELSON MANDELA in 1999 by these type of South Africans
The usual trash in the comments as usual.
RUclips is becoming a cestpit
What trash?🥴🇬🇧
A fairly recent study showed something like 90% of Elon's Twitter followers were bots. They always show up for these discussions.
@@cassandratq9301 He was shocked when he bought twitter that 75% of his followers were bots.
Muskrat didn't want to buy Twitter because of all the bots, but was forced to because he couldn't take back his threat to buy the platform. 😂 That is the "genius" that the fanboys worship. He and Trump are perfect for each other.
He's a Bond villain. No one should listen to him on anything.
Yes, shining a light on the failure to investigate childcare is villainous
He should handle it by calling it out as he has done but to do it repeatedly. He has to 1) Stand up to Musk's bullying 2) Immediately begin a process leading to press and media reform (Leveson 2) and 3) Begin discussions with the EU about controlling Twitter and other social media platforms. Democracy will crumble unless something serious is done, NOW.
I left twitter because of elon musk
...and it's never been the same since..!
Why ? Are you another one worried about being exposed
Same
He's like an Evil Bond Villain.
Who was PM at the time the offences were being commited ? Just asking.
Gordon brown of labour party, kier starmer was the Chief prosecutor
Qarddin is easily going to hit $1 this month
He should prosecute him for spreading hate and endangering Jess Philips.
He should sue him for libel (of course the money is not an issue for Musk) but he should do it anyway.
He should ban his companies from the UK, he should not allow him to travel to the UK.
It'll be really interesting when Trump and Musk fall out. Just a matter of time.
You mean President Musk!😂
And First Lady Trump
Unelected, illegal immigrant, president Musk.
Spot on James. Love ya.
There was a great scene in the movie 'Love Actually', when the British PM stood up to the American President. The British cheered.
This was done to ensure that you knew the film was a work of fiction
I hope truth prevails.
Hopefully this is adequate motivation for Labour to get on with reforming money in politics
There's a strange odour over UK politics at the moment like a Musk!
"Mister Musk" (as Rich phrased it yesterday in deference) does sound like a cheap air freshener.
Well there`s muck there`s brass.
I would say it's a faintly annoying odour which has been around for quite a while and never seems to go away... an elongated musk.
Youre right.
Its YOUR duty to call out corruption
You have given British politics way too much respect when they have done nothing more than crapped on the people they are meant to represent. Cheers James
Why did a mother who was trying to rescue her daughter from grooming get warned by a police officer that once she was in Glodwick it was the end?
I’m glad I don’t own a Tesla
...he could show proof that Musk's wrong?
In crime and economics, there should always be a paper trail that can be followed and show adherence to the law and commitment to the public.
That's the curse and blessing of the official work of public servants.
Qarddin will make millionaires, after CEX listing it will blow up.
Just because someone is rich doesn't mean they are right and know everything elon musk seems like a clown now to me
What should Starmer do? He just shouldn't feed the trolls. Fullstop.
Stand up to him. Brazil did
great video James O'Brien
Fine twitter astronomical amounts just like the EU did with Microsoft, Apple and co.
Well 20 members of EDL have been evicted for SA of 10 year olds. Where Tommy's outrage?
Ban Twitter.
So ban free speach? Ban anything you dont like to hear? Tell me your a communist without saying a thing 😂
No protect speach, we want people to tell us who they are in the open.. that helps us keep clear of them in the future.
You ban speach then it goes underground and that turns to extreamism.
@@srjwari But it isn't free speech. The views that EM likes are given priority and promoted. It is the opposite of it. Say what you want, but no one will hear you unless you say the right thing.
@weswheel4834 thanks for the reply. I think your missing the point. It is free speach when you allow people to speak and show their true colours, even if that person tries to prevent others by speaking by moderating. You are emabing the wider public to witness the very clear bias and with free speach you speak up against it.
Just like we are now.. i'm not trying to silence anyone here. But im seeing alot of people saying "shut it down" which is silencing a group regardless.
We all know why Starmer doesn’t want a full public inquiry, because this mostly affected Labour run councils Labour Councillor’s and MPs with a large Muslim community dependent on their votes, the previous Jay inquiry was too broad it covered all aspects of child abuse Church etc,
How is talking about the grooming gangs libel? The government hasn't done anything anywhere near enough in tackling the issue. Whatever you think of him, we should be grateful someone with a voice is talking about it as our governments never have.
How J O'B thinks this is ridiculous is deeply deluded.
I totaly agree with u. More people should be making a stand like Musk. Cant understand why people are against him because he's rich. Its pathetic. Anyone that sticks their neck out t get to the bottom of the cover up of these poor kids has my backing.
Qarddin has two of the largest Tesla shareholders already; most likely something is coming
Dismantling of oversight, and deregulation.
Perhaps Starmer could start by resigning and apologizing for turning a blind eye on the r4p1ng of little girls?
He’s learning from Trump. Not only will he out-president the president, he’ll out-Trump Trump!
he effectively wants Trump to be his puppet. Musk can´t run for President, he´s constitutionally barred from doing so.
I am sure my post will be taken down for my use of language which might offend some but I am one angry American who is dreading Trump 2 which will be far worse than Trump 1 and will ruin the country that I once loved. I just can't stand the fact that as one who is a true Anglophile I am watching Britain just appearing to put up with the malicious nonsense coming from Musk who as someone recently remarked looks like a villain out of a Bond film.
If only James O'brien wasn't a massive hypocrite in calling anyone else a grifter. Then he might have a point.
Simple. If Starmer stands down, Elon will back off.
James flapping over “hurty words” 🤣🤣🤣
Your world is evaporating in front of your eyes James.
Remigration campaign incoming!
The King should dissolve parliament NOW.. WE THE BRITISH PEOPLE DEMAND IT... STOP IGNORING US.
Do you represent the British people? I think you are annoyed that the tories lost the election.
Charie boy will do sweet FA .Him and Starmer together are a waste of space. Both care more for other countries than their own
Far right 😂 i think everyone has forgotten what far right actually is
"he thinks all foreigners are criminals" so that includes himself XDDD
Musk has created the ultimate echo chamber.
If you dont like it don't use it
Did you not see Twitter before he bought it? You couldn't DARE post a right wing opinion without being banned and you had left wing progressives cheering the censorship on. Musk saved free speech, there are people that attack him on there day after day and he doesn't ban them.
Perhaps an ego echo chamber?
@simon But you're a close second sure you would concede!
@@stuc3195 Whether they use it or not from not liking is not the point is it? The point is if Musk is in an echo chamber that he's created for himself predominantly with his own views it'll reinforce only what he thinks and not wider perspectives he should probably pay attention to. Sure a major issue for society in general but more so when you own the actual platform 😂
Starmer should just resign like Trudeau before Musk comes for him. He's end is near the downfall will be dishonourable better go out with dignity.
So you think that British prime ministers should be dictated to by foreign bullies? Interesting.
@@99shoebox Britain is a vassal state of the U.S just stop pretending it is anything more.
I am sure there will be more Elon Musk followers than ever before.
Do we need the power of British comedian's and satirists to be given free reign and encouragement to pepper him with retorts and rebuttles?
What's the apostrophe for?
@jeffsimon9594What's with the two first names?
We didn't have big mouthed people like this before social media. Perhaps we should turn off and be oblivious to their wicked vile comments. No kindness anymore. Happy 2025 🎉
Rupert Murdoch, - anyone?
America has Musk,
Britain had Murdoch and look what happened....
..we invaded Iraq..?
@@chatham43
The relationship between Thatcher and Murdoch was one of mutual benefit. Thatcher's government facilitated Murdoch's media acquisitions, while Murdoch's media outlets supported Thatcher's political agenda....
Work it out.
I remember when Musk bought Twitter and fired lots of people and started losing advertisers hand over fist - the business world was trying to understand the fiscal prospects of the company.
When in fact, we now know, his intentions had little to do with the fiscal success of the company, instead he just wanted to have his own giant soapbox and a resultant brave new world (sarc)…
Elon only says what most UK people think. James O'Brien's whining stinks of nothing more than jealousy of Elon's money and power...
What an idiotic comment. 🤡
Steeeeve .I agree.
Starmer has to stay strong and keep a lot of supporters around him. If Musk can't get Starmer, he will try to cozy up to Starmer's political opponents.
Elon Musk, Nigel Farage, Donald Trump - they all want the same thing: attention. The best way of getting to them is to ignore them and not give them the attention they crave. They LOVE it when you talk about them. So just don't do it. The only reason they have become prolific figures is because you talk about any and every tweet they make. So stop it. Don't fall for their click bait. Don't fall for their vain press releases. Starve them of the attention they crave. Stop talking about them.
Ignorance is bliss.
I think we should recall our ambassador to America, if trump cant keep him under control then its only going to get worse. Perhaps Canada, Mexico, Panama and Denmark might follow suit.
Trump isn't president yet...
This leftist is coping hard.
Listening to you James, even for a split few minutes, always relieves constipation. Aargh that's better
