Elon Musk shared a fake Telegraph article claiming Keir Starmer was considering sending far-right rioters to “emergency detainment camps” in the Falklands.

Musk deleted his post after about 30 minutes but a screenshot captured by Politics.co.uk suggests it had garnered nearly two million views before it was deleted.

In it, Musk shared the image posted by the co-leader of the far-right group Britain First, Ashlea Simon, which she captioned with, “we’re all being deported to the Falklands”.

    The persecution fetish conservatives have is just incredible.

    Well, I guess when you’re a psychopathic narcissist it’s hard to imagine that everybody else isn’t one too, so it’s understandable that they think we want to put them in concentration camps because that’s what they want to do to us.

      If their leaders say that someone else was going to do something to them, then it makes it acceptable when those leaders do those things to the people they said were going to do the thing to them. Easy way to make atrocities seem reasonable. Same thing they do with labeling people “terrorists”. If you think someone is trying to horribly murder you, then when your leaders torture them, it seems ok.

      Where we should really start is yeeting Musk and his supporters out of the fucking solar system (shooting them into the sun would be a waste of perfectly good delta-v)

          Who said anything about giving them supplies?

          I’m sure the free market will solve this! (yes, /s)

            In 3001 (sequel to 2001) they were able to revive Frank Poole. And in three body problem they thought they could revive just his head — I’m NOT taking any chances!!

            🤣🤣🤣

      In old days we would have admins block sites on their networks. I guess this time everyone looks up to the government to do it

    Deport this nazi and nationalize SpaceX in the name of national security. Give it to NASA (with StarLink) and give NASA all the money we normally give musk. Deport this nazi.

      It’s based on creating the same kind of environment that exists in Russia. Everything is fake, nothing is real, everyone lies.

      It’s really easy to control people when they feel that objective truths are no longer possible.
