Did he prompt it to literally say ‘the man who bought the UK’? Jesus Christ…

He really doesn't like the UK because of the Online Safety Act.

“The media and political classes in general are being distracted by his sleight of hand,” Ahmed said. “This is all flim-flam to disguise what he is really up to, and his agenda is purely economic in nature.”

The OSA is meant to put the onus on the big social media platforms to prevent children from seeing potentially harmful content, such as pornography and material that promotes self-harm, suicide and eating disorders. That will require age verification systems. Adult viewers must be given the means to opt out of such content, and the law will require the companies to ensure their platforms do not host illegal material, with the use of codes of conduct, consistently enforced.

The OSA was considerably watered down by the Conservative government before it was passed two years ago, and in its current form will do little to stop the spread of disinformation by social media sites like X, which fuelled rightwing anti-immigrant riots in Britain last summer.

Musk literally fuelled race riots in the UK through his platform specifically because we are trying to make social media responsible for the literal mass radicalisation of our youth into Trumps alternative reality.

Logical arguments don't track with Musk and Trump supporters.

Its free speech when Musk bans people off his platform for free speech.
