The publication of the article was enforced by Mathias Döpfner, who is the CEO of Axel Springer, which owns “Die Welt”. There is a lot of damage control ongoing at “Die Welt” at the moment, with opinion pieces and comments by some editors, why this article was a mistake.
Nevertheless, still a very shitty rightwing newspaper.
There is also a rumour in circulation that Döpfner motivated Musk to buy Twitter in the past…
Flood the zone with shit.
