In the post shared by Musk, the account lamented the presence of humanitarian groups in the Mediterranean Sea that rescue migrants from distressed vessels.

“These NGOs are subsidized by the German government,” the account posted. “Let’s hope AfD wins the elections to stop this European suicide.”

      Him, and the rest of this power-greedy horde emanating in this world, too.
      Although they have been trying again and again to subvert that one adage regarding who gets to rightfully write human history: the sole victors at large, the underdogs with their numbers, or the tricksters that pull the marionette strings behind the show.

      And yes, the fictional Dream and DreamXD characters fit in, too.

    Ah, the party whose members are actual Nazis. I would say mask off, but that mask has been off for longer now. Sad that he feels empowered to be this blunt.

      It’s past time AfD was disbanded and its leadership arrested. The fact they can still even run for office is absurd.

      It will be intesting to see what effect his support will actually have among potential voters, given he’s an american entrepreneur, controlling the biggest spy satellite network in the world, likely used by the CIA. On top of that, Tesla is the main driver behind EVs popularity. Musk should be the nemesis of any right wing european, honestly.

        Right wingers don’t actually believe in anything they say about the economy or foreign policy. They just care about power, and they’ll gratefully ally with any industrialist that is able and willing to help them.

    I for one like that he’s being this blunt rather than conveying what’s on his mind in a tip-toey way. It’s easier to identify the cunt’s true colours and disillusion-ise poor souls who still believe in him.

    Has Musk forgotten that without government subsidies there wouldn’t have been a Tesla today? Fucking hypocrite! Socialism for the rich and capitalism for the poor.

      Also it seems he never ever wants Tesla or any of his other companies getting any kind of warm treatment from any German Federal or State regulatory or licensing body. Well actually probably most of EU, given his behaviour towards Germany. After Germany treated him completely normally and business like and actually at parts some what welcoming with his business. Not their fault, if he can’t comprehend the concept of EU is not USA. Things don’t work the same.

      He also absolutely will not need that good will… Given that his Tesla imports to Europe from the Shanghai factory along with all Chinese EV imports are about to get dunked with extra tariffs soon over Chinese government subsidies to “level the playing field”. It ain’t official yet, but the grumbling from EU Commission is pretty hefty to that direction.

    Ten or so years ago I liked the guy. He did great things with tesla and spacex. Now every bit of information I get about him deminish my respect more than the previous. It seems like tesla and spacex has done great in spite of him, not because of him.

        He founded SpaceX not bought it. He bought Tesla when it was a failing startup with an unsellable prototype.

        It probably was the smart people he hired that made them successful but he very definitely didnt just buy thriving businesses and claim their existing success as his.

        The guy is an ass and a terrible person, but he very definitely was instrumental in building those companies

        I honestly thought he founded both companies back then. I don’t know if that he just bought them was obvious/something everyone should know or if I was clueless. I guess maybe it is a mix of both.

      His employees did, I doubt he knows jack shit about designing cars or rockets. He stole the credit to create this image that he’s like a real life Ironman.

      It seems like tesla and spacex has done great in spite of him, not because of him.

      Twitter is the perfect example of that, what happened to it is the demonstration of what happens when there’s no one to babysit him out of not taking stupid decisions.

        In the 2010s, friends and family always rolled their eyes when I told them he didn’t found Tesla, wasn’t a rocket engineer and got kicked out of Paypal. I was always just a Debby Downer who just didn’t want it to work or something. Now after Hyperloop Vaporware, dead monkeys from brain transplants, shut down Starlink for Ukraine and the Twitter aquisition, they finally joined my choir. I will admit it’s quite gratifying to hear some of them say “you were right all along” after years of being dismissed.

        Of course nobody on the internet will admit they were wrong, though. They’ll either stick to him, claim they always doubted him or say he just changed. Whatever, it is what it is.

      He was okay before he started engaging politics. Although his treatment of workers and women always had me concerned

        The treatment of his workers and women is politics. Probably just not the kind of politics that personally negatively affects you.

        Musk was never okay.

    Well he would know what the worst case scenario is of a bunch of people coming in from somewhere else to your home is, as a white South African and American. Now I assume he’s concerned there aren’t enough white people in any of those countries

    simple thing to keep in mind: money is a tool that can, among other things, allow to anonymously exploit socially weaker groups of people. for example to build cheap phones or clothes. keep this in mind when an extremely rich person says anything. they’re winners at a rotten game
