Summary
Elon Musk livestreamed a conversation with Alice Weidel, co-leader of Germany’s far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, on his platform X, endorsing her and urging support for the AfD ahead of Germany’s February 23 election.
The livestream, which drew over 200,000 viewers, raised concerns across Europe about Musk’s influence in foreign politics.
AfD, under observation for extremism, has gained popularity amid discontent with Chancellor Scholz’s government.
Musk’s promotion of Weidel and controversial remarks on other European issues are being monitored for violations of the EU’s Digital Services Act.
The power the ultra wealthy have to cross historic boundaries and bend the world to their will is unprecedented in history. We have to safeguard democracy against these people. Billionaires need to be taxed into the worker class for the safety of democracy. And doing so would mean massive societal improvement relatively overnight.
Tax the rich! They taste bad!
But billionaires will never be taxed, since they’re the ones that decide laws. In my opinion, we need 10, 100 or even 1000 Luigi Mangiones.
We need to treat Nazis how they used to be treated
We need to treat Nazis how they used to be treated - after 1945
FTFY
And before 2016
Foreign election interference is a thing. Maybe issue an international arrest warrant?
It’s getting investigated on the German side as illegal party financing. As a foreigner he’s allowed to donate 1000 Euros while an influencer campaign with similar reach would cost way more. The EU is adding it to the pile of investigations under the Digital Services Act which has quite some provisions for large online platforms.
They need to ban X asap.
The polls show AfD at 18% now. I have to admit I’m seriously scared. We need to ban this bastards asap.
18% was before christmas. Now they are at 20-21% in the polls.
Had not seen that Allensbach has not updated yet. It is usually much closer to the results than e.g. INSA. But yeah, looks they went up a bit indeed. ffs…

Ban AfD, issue arrest warrant for Musk for spreading nazi propaganda. Problem sorted.
Unbelievable how many People can give an in-depth analysis from an Ocean away what exactly the Problem is and how to fix it.
How about you start by not electing Musk and his Sidekick as President?
That would be a good start and a lot of help for everyone.
Jesus christ, it’s been months! Why aren’t ee protecting our selves? Ban and sanction Elon! What’s with the wait? We rarely wait THIS long to act on Russian or Chinese bullshit, and THEY TRY TO HIDE IT!
“Musk likes it, so you know it’s bad!”
This thing that musk did raised concerns This other thing that musk did raised concerns This other thing…
THEN WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT?
He will perish in a blaze
So if it was far-left it would be ok?
Of course, billionaires knows best about politics and shit, we leftist love to simp for them.
/S
You didn’t answer the question. I wasn’t asking whether Musk is right or wrong. I asked if you would complain if he was supporting far-left
I did answer, the way musk is throwing his weight around does not fit with the far-left at any point.
In the dream world where musky was a real far-left supporter he would be in favour of:
- Fair wages
- Unions
- Human rights
- LGBTQ
- Healthcare
- Etc…
In this dream I could support him, but he wouldn’t have earned $200B last year, and he wouldn’t have been prancing around with trump, like the greedy narcissistic fool he is.
I could answer it in a different way: I would have supported Regan if he was Carter.
