Summary
Elon Musk expressed support for Germany’s far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party on X, stating “Only the AfD can save Germany.”
Party leader Alice Weidel welcomed his endorsement, urging followers to review her criticisms of German politics.
The AfD, polling at 19% ahead of February’s federal election, is officially under scrutiny as an extremist group by German authorities.
Musk has previously questioned the party’s “far-right” label. Controversy surrounds the AfD, including links to a meeting discussing deportation of migrants.

Are we allowed to discuss the many many benefits that society might receive if Elon Musk were in fact assassinated?
Sure would be nice if he just dropped dead of natural causes.
I’d be, with extremely little resistance, willing to listen to your argument. Tread heavily if you dare.
Is that he has those Black Sun ghouls following him everywhere now?

I concur - someone should shoo him away (or at least downregulate him).
Until that happens, companies that he owns can be boycotted in the faint hope that he understands something, but that kind of people, nah… they typically won’t.
Once this episode is over - in whatever way - I even think we might see reforms in the US electoral system. To prevent an oligarch from buying everyone a crooked president.
As for Germans, they will probably not appreciate his advise.
Shoo him away you mean?
I don’t understand this, while it’s obviously bad to have this situation, isn’t this the logical conclusion of the American political system?
Lobbying has been a thing for decades, isn’t the logical conclusion that we get tyrants infiltrating the government?
Clearly America has been working towards this for a long time.

A visit from Luigi or you know, a short fall a long way
Hopefully musk gets too close to Putin and finds himself “accidentally” falling out of a window
Joke all you want; the moment anyone involved in US politics get defenestrated there is going to be a whole lotta crazy. The thing to remember is that regular people don’t get to go near those windows.
Send him to the Mushroom Kingdom
I’ve just absorbed that into my vocabulary, thank you
So, has Musk straight up admitted to being a white supremacist or has he only dropped anvil-sized hints so far?
I mean this was pretty blatant:
Do you have a link?
I’m not going to go to Twitter, but here’s a news article.
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/elon-musk-antisemitic-comments-x-post-actual-truth/
on the same day that an anti islam afd supporter committed a terrorist attack on a christmas market even
elon sure can pick them
In case someone needs to read the story:
https://www.dw.com/en/magdeburg-christmas-market-car-ramming-death-toll-rises-to-4/live-71129061
An anti-islam, ex-muslim, pro-afd, rams a car into christmas market killing atleast 4 people so far.
The site doesnt load for me but afaik it was a 50 year old doctor from saudi arabia that committed the attack. Allegedly, he was unhappy with the treatment oft refugees.
Also, it would make little sense for someone whos pro-afd to attack a Christmas market
He had a website to help women escape Saudi arabia, due to state oppression. He had issues with German state not doing much to stop the spread of islam in germany. He claimed Germany is enabling “islamization of europe”.
For context, in may 2024 there was a anti-islam rally, and a refugee tried to attack them and ended up attacking a police officer and killing him. This culminated in a historic rise of anti-islam and anti-immigrant AfD. And they won the state election in Thuringia in September.
Germany currently has federal elections in February, this attack was an attempt to incite anti-islam sentiment again just before the election.
He was pro-immigrant for ex-muslims, but anti-immigrant for muslim ones (which happen to be the majority).
I am german, so I am well aware of the entire situation here.
However, I don’t feel you can call someone pro-AfD simply because he was opposed to islam. Again, someone who was pro-AfD wouldn’t have chosen to attack a christmas market, but instead a mosque or something.
If I look through my political beliefs, there are very likely a few things in the AfD manifesto that I agree with. That doesn’t make me pro-AfD. Just as there will be a few things in the green party manifesto I agree with, which does not make me pro-green.
Calling him pro-AfD is a fairly disgusting attempt of framing imo.
When i call him pro afd, i am quoting this article: https://www.dw.com/en/magdeburg-christmas-market-car-ramming-death-toll-rises-to-4/live-71129061
I know far-right extremists aren’t the sharpest bunch or the most well-adjusted but I’m trying and failing to understand the reasoning behind ramming a christmass market as an anti-Islam action.
It seems like he had a lot of trouble with state agencies and the justice system lately. He probably snapped and just wanted to hurt people. I don’t think this was an action that was supposed to send a message beyond “the system broke me so everyone must suffer”
Maybe to increase religious tensions? He was very anti-muslim, and hated germany for enabling “islamization of europe”.
So probably in his mind, if he, being saudi, were to attack a christian related event just before the election, it would snowball into some anti-muslim winning election thus him getting what he wanted.
That’s low. Even for AfD.
It’s not surprising though. From what I’ve seen they are just Red Hats Deutschland Edition. Just need some altered merch and bam, Deutschlun’! MDWG!
Over/under on months before spacex is manufacturing missles to arm these groups?
Lock them up.
Arsch auf Eimer
Ist Elon Arsch oder Eimer oder beides?
Austauschbar
@MicroWave
He is just pissed because a Union just sued his Tesla Gigafactory in Grünheide, so he goes crying to the ones most likely to make the boo boo go away if given power.Elon: “Why are they considered far-right? They don’t look far-right to me!”
Also Elon: ⬅️-----------------------------🙋➡️
It’s pretty much comes down to
Do they support trans people and trans rights?
Yes: Woke mind virus.
No: TAKE MY MONEY!
That’s why he’s in right wing politics now, he’s said as much. His trans daughter, who he dead names, was “stolen” from him.
I highly doubt that he ever had a real connection to his children in the first place.
She said he was pretty absent ya.
Well, he did use one of his kids as a human shield repeatedly when appearing in public after Luigi crossed one of their guys off the board. That’s kind of a connection?
As a believer in Horseshoe Theory (Just hang around a tankie long enough, you will too)
I’m really hoping these people somehow wrap around to being left… I mean that won’t happen because the Horseshoe only bends one way, but damn.
Nationalists sometimes wrap around to left.
So Musk really is just going full Bond-esk super villain with world domination right? That’s what this is? He doesn’t have to win any election so long as he can just buy every government, which he can then ensure he owns all the money, to buy more…
See, this is why I don’t mind George Soros, a billionaire, is funding left wing causes. Too much of the rich class is disproportionately funding the right. Fight fire with fire.
One of their supports just murdered 2 and insured 60 when he drove his car into a Christmas market…

Both want politics for the rich, but tell you that they act in your favor.
Don’t the conservative bobbleheads talk about evil globalist conspiracies? Like, I found it right here for you guys! It was right in front of you the whole time!
In case you are unaware, when a racist says “globalist” they are not talking about worldwide events, the word “globalist” is a direct replacement for the word “Jew [derogatory]”.
Huh, guess I missed that dog whistle. I thought it was just the opposite of a “nationalist”, people who want to create a new world order and all that.
I guess I’m not surprised they think it’s the Jewish people doing that, but didn’t think it was exclusive to them.
It’s a bit of both. They (often) think globalism is being pushed by the jews for the sake of… jews gaining power? The reason tends to change from person to person, but the point is they often think globalism is a Jewish plot.
