Elon Musk has said UK MPs “will be summoned to the United States of America to explain their censorship and threats to American citizens” in a fresh escalation of tensions between the world’s richest man and Labour.
Musk, who has been a fixture at the side of Donald Trump since his re-election as US president, was responding to a Guardian report on Wednesday that the Commons’ science and technology select committee would call him to give evidence in the new year in its inquiry into the spread of harmful content on social media after the August riots.
The committee’s chair, Chi Onwurah, a Labour MP, said she wanted to see how Musk, who owns the X social media platform, “reconciles his promotion of freedom of expression with his promotion of pure disinformation”.

We got a badass over here. Is Musk gonna threaten them with his katana if they don’t comply?
Summon deez nutts in yo mouf
But what if they summon 2 healing elves and a mighty centaur back? What are you gonna do then, Elon?
I haven’t a strong opinion about cursive but about overly influential billionaires.
I should probably pre-apologize for that joke. I don’t play a lot of fantasy games and I don’t really know what gets summoned. I promise, though, I’m a big enough nerd for Lemmy. I have 3 telescopes and probably every Raspberry Pi model if we look through the drawers in my soldering desk.
I should probably pre-apologize for this joke too.
If you can summon from the fey realm, all of that is possible - and more!
Well, his tough talk worked with Brazil, didn’t it?
The probable response I’m expecting from British MPs (and government): “Shut the fuck up.”
Musk is such an insufferably man-child. The UK government should just restrict or ban Twitter. It’s a shithole network that is hemorrhaging users. Blue Sky or Mastodon can pick up any of the surplus demand. And nothing of value would be lost if Twitter dies.
Just get all government accounts off Twitter. A lot of people still use Twitter because of these “important” accounts, the less of them, the more people are happy to move elsewhere.
Farage and his Reform party exists. So that’s at least one MP that I could see saying yes.
I’m pretty sure even Farage doesn’t want to fly to America to get his ass kicked. He might to suck some billionaire cock, though.
“Bwahahaha!” - UK MPs probably.
With what authority Musk? Oh yeah that’s right, you have none. You hold no elected position in government.
Just to piss him off, the UK should open the second spaceport in Wales and give launch access to Ariane, ULA, Rocket Lab, and Firefly.
Does he think he is the leader of the world or something? A week ago or so, he said that if the EU limits starlink in anyway, USA will pull off from NATO
Yes he does. As someone else stated in another thread, going full Nazi was Elon’s way of becoming President of the United States without actually having to be born there.
I mean, yeah he does. He’s a narcissistic loon
Hey! You can’t just disrespect loons like that!
haha, still doing the “face down look up, don’t you see how intense I am?” stare. pure cringe elonia. I remember doing that in middle school when I was a super hard core bad ass that you better not mess with! :D
The Kubrick stare.

That’s a bit fucking rich coming from Kid Starver and his party of loyal Labour Zionosts. Labour have been ‘promoting pure disinformation’ and removing rights to ‘free expression’ at breakneck speed since they smeared Corbyn.
What freedom of expression/from pure disinformation is Labour protecting?
They’ve raided the homes of journalists reporting too honestly on the Palestinian genocide.
They’re actively promoting transphobia and enforcing medical harm to trans folk by supporting the politically motivated hateful bullshit in the Cass report.
Fuck Labour.
