What did Elon Musk do this time.

This is for topical issues effecting our fair world... you can quit snickering anytime.

I heard Musk asked if the US should liberate the UK. Is that true?
I got nothing to say here.

I know he tried to buy a minor UK politician, who turned him down.

yes
So between him and Trump, we got talks about making Canada and Greenland part of the US and also taking back the Panama Canal. Now this.

I am sure when I wake up someone will mention about taking over Mexico...

Trump was talking about these things during his last term and nothing happened. Only believe what Trump does when he does it.

Besides, I greatly suspect that the US invading another country 19th colonial style would cause such a public outcry that the Dems would just hand it back in four years time. The Republicans on the other hand would depend on just how much hand Trump has in his replacement if he vacates office at all.

Yes. The irony is, he actually managed to very briefly unite both Right and Left in condemnation.

It's honestly terrifying how normalized this is. The President Elect and his main proxy are just casually talking about starting an apocalyptic war with NATO over literally nothing and it's being treated like his usual schoolyard bully antics.
One can only match, move by move, the machinations of fate... and thus defy the tyrannous stars.

They already are, by the fact this isn't breaking news and calling him an insane tyrant who is going to get America into more wars and destroy our economy and stability with every nation.

Apparently, Musk and Trump are now blaming the California fires on diversity in the fire department. Which I guess means that not only will he be starting wars he'll also be gutting the emergency services too.
