Tech boss was addressing the ‘unite the kingdom’ protest organised by Tommy Robinson via video link

Elon Musk has called for a “dissolution of parliament” and a “change of government” in the UK while addressing the crowd attending the “unite the kingdom” rally, organised by the far-right activist Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, known as Tommy Robinson.

The X owner, who dialled in via a video link and spoke to Robinson while thousands of attenders watched along, also railed against the “woke mind virus” and told the crowd that “violence is coming” and that “you either fight back or you die”.

Speaking at the rally, he said: “I really think that there’s got to be a change of government in Britain. You can’t – we don’t have another four years, or whenever the next election is, it’s too long. Something’s got to be done. There’s got to be a dissolution of parliament and a new vote held.”

    I love you, fellow champion of rational thought. Their money only exists by mutual consent. Their ownership of things only exists by mutual consent. We can revoke our consent. They have built many systems, of government, of policing, around us and around them to protect their money and ownership, but at the end of the day, even these systems are powered by people and only exist by mutual consent. Their defenses require us to be willing to fight each other, that is why they work so hard to keep us willing to fight each other. If we stop fighting each other for long enough, we might just realize they are simply frightened, selfish human individuals just like any of the rest of us. They may be billionaires, but they are not gods, we just cower before them and their systems as if they were.

    We can change this, if we work together, instead of against each other.

      All power comes from the people. All constructs of law and money are effectively paperwork, just inventions by humans because they were considered useful at the time of implementation.

      Just like paper has no real power and depends only on the one who interprets it, the same is true for the law and even for money. It’s all based on our collective will to recognize and acknowledge these concepts.

      Any way, the paperwork we’ve done (including the books we’ve written) is the actual American dream. The american dream isn’t to buy a house or sth, but to do so in a certain state of mind. I.e. you want to adhere to a great system that makes sense somehow, and be a part of it. That’s why we need to develop new systems, new paperwork, that inspires the people, like a dream, they want to be part of it. That is the key to making a system last.
