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.

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…
Say goodbye to western style democracies! Say hello to Russia style pseudo-democracies!
Are we allowed to discuss the many many benefits that society might receive if Elon Musk were in fact assassinated?
I’d be, with extremely little resistance, willing to listen to your argument. Tread heavily if you dare.
One of their supports just murdered 2 and insured 60 when he drove his car into a Christmas market…

Did people also saw Hitler like that before he got in power?
“Oh look that bozo doing shit again” and then bam, the bozo is the head of state?
People didn’t think of him in that light till WW2 started.
Before that he was actually beloved by most, so much so that when he annexed Poland, the rest of Europe and America basically went “Aww shucks”
Maybe? He did try to take power once, failed, went to prison for like a year and then got right back to it.
I mean, have you ever really looked at him without the hindsight knowledge of what nazi germany would be like? he’s so fucking lame.
Yeah exactly
Elon truly is the embodiment of cancer wow. First Nigel farage and now AfD.
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.
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”
Over/under on months before spacex is manufacturing missles to arm these groups?
He seems to not mind if someone would cut a swastika into his forehead.
Can’t say that I’m surprised. Both are pro-RuSSian trolls and just absolute morons in general, but it’s still pretty interesting, because the AfD absolutely hates EVs and prefers RuSSian oil imports. I honestly think that Musk just isn’t aware of their EV politics, and it makes all of this so much funnier 😂
Elon’s actually come out against EV subsidies. It seems counter intuitive until you realize he’s so detached from any one product that the power he’s derived from his wealth is more important now.
At this point it’s not about the money, it’s about
THE METS BABY!It’s about feeling like he’s in charge. At this point he’s so drunk on attention and power that he’d order a nuclear strike on his own daddy’s Emerald Mines if he thought it’d make him look like a big man.
Tesla sells their EVs as technical avantgarde and elitist sports cars. When EVs become commonplace, they’ll face serious competition. People won’t be content with their mediocre build quality and terrible ergonomics any longer. Musk countering EV subsidies is deeply based in reality.
Meanwhile Tesla sales are down in Europe 28% despite an increase in overall EV sales.
For the month maybe, but its possible imports are gonna be higher in December for various shipping reasons. Monthly numbers aren’t always good indicators and have always been used to attack Tesla even when they were growing, not to say it might not be a preview of whats to come either. It’s around 15% YTD.
Tesla Europe sales also down 14% year-to-date.
That’s what I said.
Oh you meant it was down YTD. I was confusing you with one of the Tesla defenders who are claiming record growth.
Elon: “Why are they considered far-right? They don’t look far-right to me!”
Also Elon: ⬅️-----------------------------🙋➡️
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.
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.
Is that he has those Black Sun ghouls following him everywhere now?
In semi-related news, the defences around the German Constitutional Court were just reinforced.
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.
