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.”
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.
Seriously, I want my fucking tax dollars back with the same returns he’s made on those dollars. Welfare bitch shitting on 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.
Can someone tell that loon EU is not the US?
Statements like that can bite back and hard here.
Can someone tell that loon US is not apartheid South Africa?
How about we all sit down to write a joint letter and just sign “with love, from everyone who thinks you have a room temperature IQ”?
At least, not yet…
So this pice of shit is now interfering with elections in Germany… Sounds like a reason to shut off Twitter.
Destroying the planet, one EV at a time.

Everyone who has ever played Secret Hitler knows not to elect Hitler as Chancellor. We’re in the end game now.
Apartheid-baby in support of nazis? Say it ain’t so.
Apartheid mining heir baby, even. The man is practically a living stereotype of modern colonialism.
If he were fictional, the author would be accused of lazy writing and overusing tropes. Unfortunately for us though, he is not fictional.
The worst part of this poor excuse of a toillet skidmark are all the people that follow him
Fuck this guy.
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.
And he was called out on his own Plattform by the german foreign office for it:
The replies are insane, tbh.
It’s crazy just how quickly Musk has centralized such an extremely xenophobic and fascist community on Twitter, even compared to before.
And of course they all have that paid checkmark. No wonder he does it so consistently, it makes a fortune. Sigh.
You’re assuming those accounts are real, and also assuming they’re funded externally
As if they’d need to fake fascist accounts. There’s plenty of people to go around for posting that, just look at he numbers fascist parties poll in most countries.
The platform will likely get blocked within the EU quite soon if it stays this way. After a devastating report about misinformation, they loosened oversight even more, meaning it actively does not conform to EU regulations (regarding hate speech for example) anymore. Facebook has already received hefty fines for less so I honestly don’t expect Xitter to be around much longer.
Is Xitter to be pronounced “shitter”?
Yes and posts are pronounced “x-criments” instead of tweets now
Oh, absolutely.
Yes
“It makes a forture”
Lol. X is not doing well
Aren’t the checkmarks prioritized to show up in the replies? If so, he effectively systematized astroturfing on twitter.
Shame the people the reply is aimed at don’t see refugees as humans worth saving, instead they probably claim it is the German lives that the refugees “threaten” that need to be “saved”.
There is no logic-ing someone out of a position they didn’t logic themsleves in to…
Gee I wonder where they all got these brain worms that their comfort is so fragile and that everyone else envies their comfort and wants their treats and is only on a mission to steal their precious from them
I’m sure the capital owners don’t want to keep these refugees “illegal” and looked down upon so they can be exploited for cheap labor and no one will care
“Oh you had to escape the terrible material conditions created when the west either directly or indirectly installed a horrible dictator in charge of your country and people started starving/dying? Pathetic!”
What the actual fuck…
🤮🤮🤮
Yes. Yes, I am proud, that my tax money saves lives. Fucking cunt
Same
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Earlier this month, Germany’s foreign ministry announced it was dispersing funds to two nonprofit organizations that assist asylum-seekers, including a group that conducts search-and-rescue operations in the Mediterranean Sea.
Musk, on Friday, amplified similar criticism and directly waded into German domestic politics, suggesting that the governing coalition should pay a price at the ballot box.
AfD is Alternative for Germany, a far-right political party that campaigns against migration to Europe — and has strong ties with right-wing extremists, including those of an “outright neo-Nazi nature,” per an investigation by Der Spiegel.
According to the United Nations, the vast majority (83%) of migrants crossing the Mediterranean — many fleeing war, political repression, and poverty in Africa and the Middle East — end up landing in Italy.
“Considering that on average one person dies every three hours in the Mediterranean Sea while fleeing, two million euros for search and rescue in this year’s federal budget is more than sobering,” Kaldenhoff said.
This week he traveled to to Eagle Pass, Texas, where on a choppy X livestream he lambasted the White House for not doing more to quell the flow of migrants across the US-Mexico border.
The original article contains 797 words, the summary contains 191 words. Saved 76%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
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
He absolutely (and openly) believes in “Great Replacement”

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 did great things with tesla and spacex
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.
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.

reading the whole comment is usually useful.
The only way to win is not to play.
That was what I was trying to say.
reading is hard these days
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.
It seems like tesla and spacex has done great in spite of him, not because of him.
…
*he bought companies that did great things, I dont get how that wasn’t obvious all along
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.
He did found SpaceX
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpaceX
He didn’t found Tesla but it had 7 employees and was about to go bust when he bought in (2014) 8 months after it was founded
Oh, thanks for the history lesson! :)
He had remarkably good PR back then
See it this way: it was so good he started to believe his own PR, after which he fired them. I wonder if he will ever deal with reality
He did call himself a “founder” of both
After hearing about the Tesla factory lawsuit, I’m not even surprised anymore. At this point I’m half expecting for him to post selfies of himself in klan attire sometime within the next year. Really disappointing tbh. He was doing something cool with Tesla and SpaceX. If he’d kept his mouth shut and touched grass every now and then he might still be highly respected.
selfies of himself in klan attire
“I’m an american viking.” (Also some bullshit how he’d be genetically viking.)
He was doing something cool with Tesla and SpaceX
His PR agents probably did something cool with Tesla and SpaceX. He hired an agency after his PayPal payout and fired them around the time of the “calling an actually helpful scuba diver a pedo” Thai cave incident. This is who he’s always been, it was simply previously filtered out by professionals.
If I had someone whose entire job was to prevent me from shitposting or being a complete dick, I would look pretty great all the time too. Everyone would.
He’s just a racist egotistic techbro mining heir who wants people to think he’s a genius übermensch, and to show him love like his parents seemingly didn’t.
Alter, wie peinlich.
The most German thing I’ve ever come to understand is “wie peinlich”
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 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.
It’s past time AfD was disbanded and its leadership arrested. The fact they can still even run for office is absurd.
