Anyone got any pet theories why Mr Musk seems to have a giant hate boner for UK politics/politicans/culture this last while?

Because in Germany and France the far right parties are doing quite well whereas Reform UK is a minnow with 1% of seats. Diverting political discourse from real issues to emotional culture war is a successful recipe for moving things rightward and he's attempting just that.
As for why he's suddenly involving himself in all countries' politics, part of it is trying to recreate the high of the US election. Can't expect a "number goes up" addict to stop after one win.

Reform having no seats is because it split the Tory vote and got the smaller half of the split. Anywhere the right dominated went Tory, anywhere the right was simply in the majority went Labour due to the split. Reform won over a hundred seats, it just won them for Labour. It’s an important party.

I think the whole plattform should banned. This is getting out of hand quickly. Musk posts stuff and his followers actually think of his posts as facts...

Agreed. Musks agenda is fucking scary, and he uses the propaganda tool he bought to push it. And sadly there are enough useful idiots that believe him.
The EU needs to find a way to handle this shit, and quickly. We are already at the edge, in another 10-20 years we will just have lost, and get some new technofascism. Which is way less cool than it sounds. We need to figure out how to protect our democracy from people like Musk or state actors like the Russian troll farms.
Democracy starts in the minds of the people, and we are losing ours.

The number of his followers would grow if you tried to make it happen. I think fighting populism like that is a terrible, counterproductive idea. We need to convince the potentially reasonable part* of his followers that they're wrong, we can't just plug our ears and shout "nooo I don't want to hear it and I don't want others to hear what I don't like".
* - Some people can't be reasoned with but I think that should be like 3-7% of European voter base. The rest of populist voters is a failure that can be fixed.

Yes and no, with Tucker Carlson we've shown that an audience doesn't necessarily grow from censorship. But the problem is a bit larger than Elon Musk, just targeting him wouldn't help that much even if it was successful.

There is a horrid lesson to be learned from all this lunacy. Fear is key in controlling others. Everyone seems to fear being on opposing sides of Trump, Musk, China, Saudi Arabia, Israel, and others. They might react badly and retaliate against you. Making threats, outrageous claims, etc., seem to have no consequences that would turn people away from you. They seem more likely to bend their knee and kiss your ass because of them. This lesson could make the world very unstable. However, it would be nice sometimes to hear about fearing the EU or openly looking to invest in the EU because it would be somewhat more sane place.

As long as a high living standars exists, people will tolerate a lof of bullshittery. Why risk everything? The calculation makes a lot of sense. People don't think ahead, they live in the now. Everyone kind of does. As soon as conditions markedly worsen, we will see immediate action.

Good job defending the #1 fascism supporter. You're sticking to your values.

Meta too.
The company [Meta] also updated its hateful conduct policy, adding new types of content users can post on the platform, effective immediately.
Users are now allowed to, for example, refer to “women as household objects or property” or “transgender or non-binary people as ‘it,’” according to a section of the policy prohibiting such speech that was crossed out. A new section of the policy notes Meta will allow “allegations of mental illness or abnormality when based on gender or sexual orientation, given political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality.”
Fuck fascists. We are at war, and we didn't start it.

Incredible that Musk accuses Jess Philips of being pro-rape while demanding that our government takes action that would be doing child rapists an absolutely massive favour.
He should probably stay out of things he doesn't have a fucking clue about.
Like the UK for example.

False accusations like that are subject to libel suits. You're anti-law. Try harder.

Awesome, and I'm really really glad you aren't being facetious. You and Kwark should join a club together: the always absolutely 100% sincere club! In fact, I reckon I'll join too!

Alright, I guess you decided to stay in the troll basement for good. We'll talk when you come back to planet Earth with all the other normal people.
