Set date for a 'LONDON TEslA PARTY' and throw all those shitty cars into harbor!
The ocean is already polluted enough, I suggest dissolving them in acid.
So, technically, the monarchy signed over the majority of executive power to Parliament with the Parliament Act 1911 which gives authority over taxation and budgets to Parliament.
But bills do also technically still require Royal Assent, which has not been withheld since 1708.
So... the Crown COULD try to force an impasse where nothing can pass without their approval, but then Parliament COULD make the Crown live off canned beans.
Can someone get Lord Sugar drunk and have him express a similar view about the US?
"err, hic the unites, uniting, united states should separism, seapar, separate the head of state role from the,, ,uhh,,,,, head of government. They can have gonger, er, congress appoint a cereminimum, er ceremonial head of state with reserve powers to dissolve congress..... burp"
As a Brit I think Elon Musk should fuck off meddling in ours and other countries politics.
I also think that King Charles should dissolve the monarchy as it’s sickening to have such a thing in 2025.
People often say but tourism. The fact is France gets many more visitors a year than Britain and they got rid of their monarchy. We could make more turning Buckingham Palace into a bougie hotel for instance.
Can you tour bukingham palace?
Small sections.

He illegally immigrated into the US, it's quite literally his MO
As an American (and ashamed of it), can we give Elongated Muskrat back to South Africa?
I don't think that'd be very fair to South Africans.
I think King Charles should instead order Elon Musk dissolved.
Let's dissolve them both in a vat of acid
I seem to recall doing such things to be unwise for kings named Charles
It's a mixed bag actually. Charles 2 did it successfully but only because he essentially had a popular mandate to do so. (Parliament kept trying to do an Inquisition of Catholics, and people were unamused.)
James 2 tried to follow that act and was deposed in 3 years. So mileage may vary.
We need another Luigi
If someone luigi'd musk the US and the entire world would be better off. Somebody else can run his companies, probably do a better job, and not be an asshole while doing it.
The US might legit get worse unless there were several near-simultaneous Luigi events. We have a bad habit of using those types of situations to just increase big brother's overwatch and create more privacy/freedom invasions against the populous.
That said, if the US gets worse at the safety of everyone else's democracy... I'm willing to take that sacrifice.
We need thousands of them.
The more they will try to screw us over, the more people will resist.
It seems they're pushing society in a direction where more and more people will have nothing left to lose. Might be inevitable, how long it takes is the question.
It seems they’re pushing society in a direction where more and more people will have nothing left to lose.
That's just the negative side effect (negative for them) of pushing society in a direction people will have nothing. But it's inevitable, and it's proof that the big capitalist lie based on infinite "growth" and exploitation will never work in the long term.
Best thing chuck can do is ignore the gnat until it gets near enough to swat
Can he please stop sticking his nose where it doesn't belong. Being a US president isn't enough. He wants to be the German chancellor and British PB now, too?
I think you meant British PM. Although I’ll take PB if it was for Prime Bastard.
Autocorrection but let's say it was deliberate.
Time for some right wing infighting.
Telling a king what to do sounds like a quick way to end up on the dungeon wall.
I urge anyone with a bathtub full of acid to dissolve Elon Musk. It can also be an oil drum instead of a bathtub, or something else. I'm not too picky for that matter.
I urge the US electorate to dissolve Elon Musk in a vat of acid
I think King Charles should do it. That way no more King Charles.
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
