Sir Bob Geldof launches a blistering attack on Elon Musk as he labels him a ‘w***er’ and a ‘ketamine crazed fool’
Sir Bob Geldof has made strong, critical remarks towards Elon Musk, referring to him as a “fool” under the influence of ketamine and using a derogatory term.
On the inaugural evening of “Just For One Day: The Live Aid Musical” at the Shaftesbury theater in London’s West End, the lead singer of The Boomtown Rats delivered his comments.
The elderly rock star strongly criticized Elon’s reductions in the U.S. aid budget while he was head of the Department of Government Efficiency at the White House, expressing specific disapproval.
Additionally, he voiced his disapproval towards Elon Musk following his latest statements, where he declared, ‘Empathy, the “empathy exploit,” is the inherent flaw in the foundation of Western society.’
‘About two weeks past, Elon Musk made a quite misguided comment. He suggested that the key vulnerability in Western civilization lies within empathy.’

After that, the musician shifted his focus towards President Trump, due to his decision to withdraw funding from USAID on February 1st, as well as Prime Minister Starmer, in regards to reductions in overseas aid expenditure.
In a shocking turn of events this past February 1st, the world’s most formidable nation, the most influential individual globally, and the wealthiest person known to humanity announced a war against the most disadvantaged, powerless, and vulnerable people on Earth. As an ardent admirer, I can’t help but express my profound disapproval towards such an action.
As a result, Boston University, as reported in the New York Times, has been operating without their usual online services since February. This is due to the fact that they took down their website overnight when US Aid websites were shut down and dismissed all their staff.
Ever since a few months back, it’s been reported that the deaths of approximately 300,000 individuals can be linked to Musk, Trump, Vance, and Rubio, contrary to their claims that no lives have been lost.

1985, I found myself utterly captivated by the extraordinary spectacle that unfolded simultaneously in Philadelphia and London – it was none other than Live Aid! Fast forward to today, this unforgettable event has been transformed into a riveting stage musical, allowing me to relive its magic time and time again.
Entitled “Just For One Day,” this musical recounts an extraordinary concert where music legends such as Bob Dylan, David Bowie, The Who, U2, Queen, Elton John, Paul McCartney, Diana Ross, among others, came together on one stage to generate funds and bring attention to the Ethiopian famine emergency.
