  1. You know how the paedophile hunters often turn out to be paedophiles, guess musk is afraid of people confusing him for one or the released prisoners.

  2. “I don’t think anyone should go to the UK when they’re releasing convicted pedophiles in order to imprison people for social media posts,” Mr Musk claimed on X.

    What a shame we are missing out on his wisdom.

  3. Like a baby without a bottle. He won’t be the world’s richest man for long, so it was probably a good choice anyway.

    I remember an early Star Trek episode when they came across an annoying but powerful god who turned out to be a big baby. Mr Musk has those big baby vibes. I wish he’d grow up.

  5. In response of the misinformation on his platform stopping him from being invited. He immediately starts misinforming.

    This is a pleasant surprise.

    We’ve spent the past 20 years or so throwing open the doors to absolutely anyone with money. No one has uttered a peep as some of the worst people on Earth have come in and bought up our politicians and cultural institutions. We’ve even let some of them into the House of Lords.

    Elon Musk is vile. The likes of Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage have studied what the Republicans in the US have done to convince thick and poor people to support them and have imported many of those chaos-sowing tactics into the UK. I’m genuinely shocked that someone has actually stood up and turned someone like Musk away. It’s certainly the right thing to do.

  7. Why would we invite this babbling cretin when we can be sure that he wouldn’t even try to contribute and instead will try and steal the spotlight for his own narcissistic needs?

    Imagine not inviting someone to your event only for them to turn around and spew unfounded claims that you harbour nonces. You’d be certain you made the right choice.

    Oh my… Lookie… It’s the consequences of running our mouth and insulting a country we want to do business with. Whoever would have thought there could be such a thing?

  9. I understand he is micro dosing on ketamine. Some of the stuff he comes up with you’d think he is fully in the k-hole.

  10. He was invited last year and didn’t even show up, he only cares now because he wasn’t invited this year.

  11. Why would he be invited, the UK wants investment from successful businesses who want to expand, all Elon does in recent years is lose money on his main businesses.

    What could he possibly contribute to a meeting where he isn’t the main person?

    Would he even like sitting around a table where he isn’t no. 1?

    It’s a huge shame considering the Tesla model y was the 5th best selling car in the UK in 2023, being the only fully electric model in the top ten. Tesla is leading the UKs transition to a green future.

    Let me guess, this summit will create the next “britvolt” failure while ignoring the rapid energy transition occurring in the world.

  14. I mean if you’re dumb enough to spend tens of billions on acquiring a social network, give it a terrible rebranding, turn it into a far-right shithole and chase away advertisers, then maybe the government doesn’t want your dollars.

    Glad to see we’re not indulging this useless charlatan. Bout fucking time the government woke up and realised he doesn’t know shit, nor care about investing in the UK, so he doesn’t need an invite to any events we’re running.
