Summary

Elon Musk labeled Britain a “tyrannical police state” on X, criticized Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s leadership, and questioned the imprisonment of far-right activist Tommy Robinson.

Musk’s comments coincide with his role as a key adviser to Trump, raising concerns in the U.K. about its relationship with the incoming administration.

Musk also criticized Starmer’s policies, including increased farm inheritance taxes, and boosted far-right content on X.

This follows similar clashes with other U.S. allies, including Germany and Australia, over their domestic policies.

Is that even possible? It would probably take an entire gram to kill him.

You misunderstand, we're just writing that in on the autopsy report.

It's very hard to OD on, it's hard to find definitive numbers but some list the LD50 at 60mg/kg which means it would be over 4 grams for most people.

Edit: taking this moment to take issue with the phrasing most newspapers used for Matthew Perry's ketamine "overdose" in which they blamed his death on the acute effects of the drug only to go on to say that he died from drowning after losing consciousness. If the drowning killed him it was not, by definition, the acute effects of the drug, but thanks for saying so and ruining the reputation of one the most effective treatments for depression we've ever seen and just an all around very impressive substance.
