Elon Musk urges King Charles to dissolve Parliament—What can UK monarch do?
Elon Musk has launched his most high-profile appeal to try and influence British politics, but the approach is unlikely to prove effective.
Summary
Elon Musk has called on King Charles III to dissolve the UK Parliament, citing past controversies involving Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the Rotherham Scandal.
Musk accused Starmer of inaction during his tenure as head of the Crown Prosecution Service and urged a new general election, drawing backlash for spreading misinformation.
Critics argue that the monarchy lacks the unilateral power to dissolve Parliament under the 2022 Dissolution and Calling of Parliament Act.
Musk’s growing political involvement globally, including support for right-wing parties, has sparked calls for regulation against foreign interference.
Well, he has sausage fingers, but he can still do something like what Mummy likely would have done if some South African upstart tried to tell her what to do:
Can King Charles dissolve Musk, instead?
If I was Charles, I'd offer Elon Musk a knighthood to piss him off.
Musk would have to choose between stoking his gigantic ego with the title at the cost of giving up any post in the federal government as per article I, section 9, clause 8 of the U.S. Constitution or humiliate himself and refuse the title to keep running the orange utan he's invested billions in.
Can we get this man some help. Not saying he's not an absolute wanker - that's a given - but isn't anyone close to him concerned about his mental health?
He's fallen out with the leader of the far-right Reform UK now, because, apparently that frog-faced fuck Farage does have a line in the sand (at least for appearances' sake), and isn't comfortable with Musk's support for fascist thug "Tommy Robinson".
Hopefully this means no donation (bribe) to Reform UK, but I'm sure that piece of shit will continue to try and fuck with our democracy.
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.
Even amongst Britain's right leaning folk this is a pretty stupid take..
Best thing chuck can do is ignore the gnat until it gets near enough to swat
I think King Charles should instead order Elon Musk dissolved.
Musk should fuck off back to South Africa.
He can put him on ignore?
Let's dissolve them both in a vat of acid
Tell him to fuck right off, preferably.
We need to strap musk to the top of his next test rocket
Oh it's simple. If the king wants the UK to follow his last french counterpart's fate, this would be a romantically dramatic way of doing this.
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.
WTF!
I can smell Musk's royal envy all the way from Helsinki.
I think King Charles should do it. That way no more King Charles.
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"
Time for some right wing infighting.
Ol' stinky should just shut up
