“Time to pipe down” — Polanski hits back at Musk’s racist attack
Green party leader Zack Polanski has continued to stand up to billionaire Elon Musk, while Musk continues to incite hate and attack Polanski for resisting.
On 10 June, as Musk again bent and ignored reality to stir up white-supremacist hate toward immigrants, Polanski described Musk’s support for “violence and extremism” as a “threat to our democracy”:
This man is a threat to our democracy. He backs violence and extremism.
Blaming a group of people for the awful actions of an individual leads us to a very dark place.
Musk, Lowe, Farage, Robinson – these men don’t give a shit about this country, they want to rip us apart. https://t.co/zbV6s42xIv

Musk, of course, didn’t get wound up about murderous white people trying to behead minority victims. That would be far too inconvenient for the white hate narrative. Murderous UK neo-nazi Alina Burns doesn’t exist in the white nationalist discourse, for example — or if she does, she’ll be praised behind closed doors.
Stung, Musk then described Polanski as a “scumbag and traitor”:
Yes, he is a scumbag and traitor

Zack Polanski — Time to pipe down
The natural reading of this would be “traitor to the white race”, but just maybe Musk meant a traitor to (white) Britain. You say potato. But Polanski wasn’t backing down. Instead he told Musk to “pipe down” and stop inciting violence and wrecking UK democracy:
Elon Musk can say what he likes about me but I won’t stay silent whilst foreign tech billionaires, money earned off the backs of real workers, try to interfere in our democracy, incite violence in our communities and tear apart our country.
Time for him to pipe down. https://t.co/wUaROSbwxd

And it seems a lot more people agree with Polanski than with Musk – and weren’t shy about saying so. As well as — at the time of writing — a ‘ratio’ massively in Polanski’s favour in terms of ‘likes’ and shares, those who replied were, well, pithy:

And many pointed out Musk’s hypocritical silence over the far more prevalent white far-right hate:

Others pointed to Musk’s real roots and the fact he’s a foreigner to either of the countries he’s trying to wreck:
You – a foreigner in every sense of the word, do not get to decide who is or is not a traitor to my (not your) country. Go poke your nose in somewhere else’s business.
As for scumbag, I know for a fact that only one of you grovelled round Epstein to get on his pedophile island.— Nanna Deb💙🧡✋ (@Deborahpower5) June 11, 2026
Still others poured pity as well as scorn on Musk and his hollowness. Which would infuriate him more isn’t yet clear:
How sad you are.
What’s missing in your life I wonder.
Money is wasted on you.
You could do a lot of good in the world, but you choose to incite racial hatred.
I feel immensely sorry for you.— Haze Reid ☮ ❤️ 🖐🚩🕊 (@Hazzreid) June 11, 2026
‘Lick the spoon’
Some were less charitable, wishing Musk a large helping of what he is dishing out:
You’re a traitor to all humanity Mr Musk. You live to foul everything & everyone that is good. No wonder Trump dumped you. There’ll be no-one weeping at your deathbed, that honour is reserved for real humans. Remember this: he who stirs the shit must one day lick the spoon.

Polanski’s right, Musk is wrong. And while Polanski’s popularity is running high with the UK public, Musk’s has tanked to record lows:

It must be that time of the week ending in ‘day’, again: Another shrill piece from the Canary defending zionist Zack Polanski and his cronies conducting their Kubuki Theater with other zionist shill Elon Musk.
Keep trying to ignore and censor this, it’ll only make the pro-zionist shilling more obvious:
Zack Polanski is a zionist
“From Liberal Zionist to Green Party leader: The political journey of Zack Polanski”

I will keep reposting this until the Canary acknowledges it.
Nothing to say about the vile Elon Musk, though, have you? Or have you? Let us know…
Literally says “zionist shill Elon Musk.” in my post.
Did you not read the comment before replying?
Respect for your persistence here Underdog.
Obviously Musk is the epitome of inhuman scum filth, but to see Wak Polanksi gaslight the public with his words not actions blah campaign and Skwarkbox, a supposedly leftist site, fall for it, is depressing.
Are we gonna have two years of this rubbish? Anyone with a brain knows the Greens are neo-lib nimby cunts.
Starmer made Red into Blue so Green could move in to fill the left gap on the uniparty’s colourchart. He’ll say all the right things, then U-turn, even if he does get in. They always do. He stood as a lib-dem ffs! That is not a man with a fixed moral compass!
I really expected better here. As these alt-media platforms become old and tired, we need new ones which reflect reality as it has become since the post-scamdemic MIC takeover of democracy.
Get some new journalists Skwarky. Adapt or die.
What cobblers.
What astute and insightful arguments you make there. Difficult to refute any of that.
I used to write independent pieces on Substack exposing political corruption, but then the American Substack oddly bent the knee to a British piece of legislation (OSA) outside of their jurisdiction and started burying criticisms of the genocide in Gaza. I refuse to write on a platform complicit in pro-genocide behaviours.
Canary rightly criticises the genocide, but strangely despite being previously contacted about the actions indicating the Greens have a pro-zionist bent, does not seem to care about the fact Zack Polanski is clearly a zionist (a Pro-Palestinian In Name Only). In-fact, the Canary often omits the various zionist ties of regulars mentioned (Elon Musk, Nigel Farage, Keir Starmer, Donald Trump, Kate Badenoch etc).
Avoiding highlighting the connection seems baffling – if their primary reason for doing something evil is because they believe in zionism, then that ought to be mentioned. The absence of any such mention is baffling, especially when it’s publicly stated, verifiable.
Now we’re getting flooded with sportsball commentary when the FIFA are in-bed with genocide. Why are we giving mostly positive coverage to an event with such dark undertones?
Excellent comment. We in the working class need our own independent revolutionary socialist party. Something like, say, the Socialist Equality Party.
Lumpen Musk:
1.It was the act of one individual but you make it into a plural.
2.65% of Knife Crime in England & Wales 2024/25 was by the white ethnic group.
3.And 85% of victims of white crime were white.
See Department of Justice.
Perhaps Musk should focus on the 233 school shootings in the USA in 2025!
You should have been more careful. 2021 Census: 82% of people in England and Wales are White, and 18% belong to a Black, Asian, Mixed or Other ethnic group. So no 2 in your list would mean white people commit per capita considerably less knife crime than expected. I suspect that the figures you quote from do not control for racist bias in the criminal justice system that is more lenient to white people (and to cis women, but that’s not something we talk about).
