Does the FT think there’s a Musk-insprired conspiracy against Labour? taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/0
Musk is trying to stage a coup in the UK, as much as Trump is in Canada. The FT agrees, and what in terms of political economy is so unusual about this is that it is happening in plain sight. No wonder some can’t see it. We, too often, fail to spot what is happening in plain sight.

I agree, Musk would not be making these comments unless he wants something. This appears to have started in the summer with the protests then riots, X just put more fuel on the flames. I believe it was thanks to social media that the false narrative that the individual involved with the murders was an illegal immigrant started, hence stoking protests and violence outside hotels housing immigrants.

It is clear that big tech just want their platforms to be a free for all under the banner of 'free speech' as the UK / EU and Australia (and other countries are fighting back with regulation). So big tech try and fight back by making subliminal actions that can lead to big changes at government level ( if that makes sense )

People are fixated with social media, so thanks to algorithms they get to see one side of a story, and don't get to see posts such as this which helps provoke the critical thinking needed to see the wider picture.

Those of us here, see a different side to X and mainstream, stories of abuse of the LGBTQA communities, the science commuity for example as people migrate (or flee) here with those stories, or are allowed to say how fearful they are and we see those comments.

In terms of conspiracies to depose Sir Kier Starmer as leader, it is not as if the previous government didn't go through about 5 or 6 PMs in a short space of time.
