Summary
Elon Musk criticized German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier on X, calling him an “anti-democratic tyrant” following Steinmeier’s speech opposing outside interference amid Germany’s political crisis.
Musk, who previously insulted German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, plans a public discussion with far-right AfD leader Alice Weidel, prompting accusations of endorsing far-right politics.
German Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck called Musk’s influence a threat to European democracy and urged action to limit his power.
Musk has also sparked controversy in the UK, aligning with right-wing figures like Nigel Farage and targeting PM Keir Starmer.
The thought that he could actually somehow help the AfD to victory scares the hell out of me. Once they are in power, they will not voluntarily give it up again. We have to stop them before the elections, by any means necessary.
I am stunned they still have not been banned under the law outlawing nazi parties.
That guy has so lost it, it would be really funny if it all wasn’t so serious.
Steinmeier: “Elon is a threat to European democracy”
Elon: “No, you are!”
Here’s the richest man in the world, but he still can’t buy better comebacks.
I think Trump and Elon are gonna have brain damage named after then.
Just put out an international arrest warrant for election interference on Musk.
Wouldn’t that just mean he couldn’t visit Germany? I can’t possibly see any country actually arresting him and I don’t know if that would be enough for any kind of extradition.
Have you read the word “international” in my post? Theoretically, even the US would have to fulfil here, but I doubt they will serve justice.
If “anti-democratic” is on one side of of a scale, Steini is definitely on the opposing end.
Elmo should stop using ketamine instead of trying to destabilizing other countries.
Part of a democracy is that voters should be educated fairly on what they are voting on.
So Musk using his influence to meddle with this process is anti democratic.
There is a term for it: Foreign Election Interference.
You don’t do what I say therefore you’re a tyrant! And you don’t allow me to say hateful and racist slurs therefore you’re not for free speech!
Imbecile. I hope he rots.
Can we declare this asshat a “persona non grata” already? Block X and let him visit his Gigafactory via Zoom until he apologizes.
Fuck you, musk asshole.
Do Germany have any kind of laws Elon just broke? Just asking.
The oligarchy of the US has made Musk feel too strong, too powerful. The rest of the world isn’t quite there, as odd as that sounds.
Always blame others for what you are. They can only say “no you” which is a weak comeback.
Posting news about who elon musk insults is not how we get rid of him. STOP UPVOTING MUSK THREADS DON’T GIVE HIM ANY ADS
What ads do you mean? If it was a link to Twitter, I’d understand, but this is to Deutsche Welle.
Each country is a bit different, but only if you’re working class. Otherwise the world is one big oyster for a billionaire. Makes sense how he perfectly slots in to the worst elements in each country.
