Yeah I also saw it, he clearly has a shock collar on the dog and the dog clearly reacts to him going for it.

Furthermore, what was he even annoyed at the dog for in the first place, for moving out of his camera view? Pets aren’t props.

You don’t have to ignore reality just because he sometimes says things you agree with. This kind of parasocial relationship is deeply pathetic.

It’s all on video.

I dunno, I agree with a lot of things he says but I watched that video with the dog and it looks pretty clear to me that he did have a shock collar on the dog.

He may not have actually pressed it on screen, but he moved his hand to it and the dog knew exactly what that meant and you could see it in the reaction.

The fact he seemingly wants to force an animal to sit in the corner like an ornament for his stream in the first place is also particularly problematic.

That all being said, I don’t think he should be banned from the UK and Elon should be banned and his businesses banned.

Is there any need for this, really?
