🔗 Elon Musk nominated for Nobel Peace Prize

Billionaire Elon Musk — whose businesses range from satellites to social media — was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize by a Norwegian lawmaker who praised the X owner as a “stout proponent for free speech.”

You must be kidding me! While at it, why not nominate Putin for his fight against nazis in Ukraine. Beyond ridiculous.

@numericcitizen wait for the bros to lobby and get the win for the man-baby. I don't believe the Nobel Peace Prize anymore - seriously think that they can be bought. LOL

@numericcitizen Anyone can nominate anyone. Go ahead and try it ☺️ The Nobel Committee doesn’t even look at them.

@numericcitizen Saw your post and immedeatly thought the nomination must be from someone in Frp (Progress Party, that’s ‘Progress’ not Progressive, they are right-wing populists). I was right. Someone from them previously nominated Trump.

Anyway, thousands are nominated each year as there’s a lot of people who are able to nominate, so there’s always a lot of wild suggestions.

Still embarassing though.

@numericcitizen Oh, and Putin did get nominated by a bunch of Russian authors, the same year Navalny got nominated.

Here’s the rules for who can nominate: www.nobelpeaceprize.org/nobel-pea...
