Isn't Elon's interview with Trump or whatever tonight?

Not that I'm planning to listen to it :camby: but I don't really know what they would have to say that's new. If it's anything like his Twitter it's just going to be Musk pushing alt-right talking points and encouraging Trump to be more openly racist.

1/11
Elon Musk in Britain
17% approve (6% strongly)
48% disapprove (31% strongly)

Almost identical scores for
Labour 19%-55%
Conservatives 19%-54%

Reform's 14% are different: Musk fans by 39% to 29%

Musk may get his numbers to deteriorate further with his troll attacks on Britain

2/11
On Musk's libertarian objections to policing incitement to violence or hateful conduct

The 6% for do nothing has only 1/6 of the Reform 14%

3/11
Great stuff for the Tesla brand! Shareholders should be thrilled

4/11
Hopefully this starts to filter through more strongly to @Tesla sales or rather lack of them over the next few years

5/11
I can guarantee most people over 50 in the UK don’t know who Elon Musk is

6/11
And ironically Reform voters must be the least likely people to buy an EV

7/11
Greens really hate him. Strange considering he gave them the electric car. But then they are the strongest authoritarians. A third don’t care or don’t know. A lot of media bubble projection going on here.

8/11
UK advertisers take note!

9/11
Rebranded version of the Tyre Extinguishers incoming, aiming at Teslas? FashExtinguishers? (for those that don't know, Tyre Extinguisher is a non violent campaign that sneaks around at night letting down the tyres of SUVs.....) This tweet not promoting violence.

10/11
No surprise that the Reform/RiotUK racist fringe approve of Muks…

11/11
In Australia the far-right Murdoch news media support Musk's attacks on the UK.

Aug 13 (Reuters) - Social media platform Bluesky said it has seen a surge in signups in the United Kingdom in the recent days, a sign that Elon Musk's controversial comments on the nationwide riots were prompting people to look for alternatives to X.

Bluesky has seen a 60% jump in general activity from accounts in the UK, with several Members of Parliament also joining the platform recently, the company said in an emailed statement on Monday.

Musk has been accused of exacerbating tensions after days of far-right rioting in Britain triggered by online misinformation around the murder of three girls in northern England last month.

The Tesla CEO used his platform to share misleading information with his millions of followers, including one post suggesting civil war was "inevitable" in Britain, prompting a reaction from Prime Minister Keir Starmer and sparking calls for the government to roll out laws policing online content sooner.

"For 5 out of the last 7 days, the UK had the most Bluesky signups of any country," said Bluesky, a newer player in the social media space.

The South Africa-born billionaire, who became a U.S. citizen in 2002, has moved towards right-wing politics in the recent years and has publicly endorsed Donald Trump in the U.S. presidential race.

Bluesky is one in a long list of apps that have been looking to replace Twitter after Elon Musk's chaotic takeover of the company in late 2022.

In July, Bluesky's monthly active user base stood at about 688,568, a fraction of X's base of 76.9 million, according to data from Similarweb, a digital market intelligence company.

Facebook and Instagram parent Meta said it did not have an update on user growth for its Twitter rival, Threads, in the UK.

Mastodon, another smaller X competitor, did not respond to Reuters' requests for user growth details.
