I mean this is ludicrous, but he’s not suggesting overthrowing the government. He’s suggesting Charles does what he has the power to do which is dissolve Parliament, forcing an election. To do so would cause a constitutional crisis in the UK and likely the revocation of that power. But it’s clearly nothing more than stupid provocative hyperbole. Musk is a fucking clown but this is some pretty intense spin.
Technically he only has the power to authorise. The PM has the power to request.
When the reformation happened. After beheading the last ruling king. It became a little more complex then the king passing soverignty to parliment. As the king did not have soverinty after the war the short lived republic did.
Post reformation when parliment is disbanded. The king is authorising the government (IE pm) to gain sovereignty from parliment. But parliment must actually pass it. Hence the closing ceromony.
So power never actually resides in the king under the post reformation constitution. But is passed between parliment and the PM. Hence why the Government \PM is in power during an election cycle.
The only way the King could force parliment to disband. Would be to try and retake power using the loyalty of paliment or the military (who rechnically still swear to obay him).
But technically he dose not have the power to force it legally.

It would cause the dissolution of the monarchy.
So not necessarily A Bad Thing.
