Outrage as Elon Musk claims ‘only AfD can save Germany’
Outrage as Elon Musk claims ‘only AfD can save Germany’
German health minister calls US billionaire’s intervention weeks before election ‘undignified and problematic’
Summary
Elon Musk sparked outrage in Germany by endorsing the far-right, anti-immigrant Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party on his platform, X, claiming “only the AfD can save Germany.”
The AfD, which polls second ahead of Germany’s February snap election, has been labeled extremist by German intelligence.
Political leaders accused Musk of election interference, while others criticized his remarks as harmful. Musk later doubled down, calling for Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s resignation.
Musk’s comments align with his past support for far-right and anti-immigration figures across Europe and beyond.
He's a modern day Nazi leader, what do you expect him to say?
vietnamese people think elon musk and donald trump are right about everything because they are smart because they are rich and because america is a democracy
they are deified, basically. just like ho chi minh
There is nothing surprising about a white South African promoting a racist political party. White South Africans are the most openly and unabashedly racist people on the planet.
Musk reminds me of that Blofeld character that was in one of those lethal weapon flicks
No country is safe from Elon Musk's election interference. It's urgent that we boycott Twitter and Tesla. If you have a Twitter account do the following now:
- Send a DM to your favorite accounts and urge them to stop using Twitter.
- (If you haven't already) register for Bluesky.
- Make a Tweet saying you are no longer using Twitter.
- Tell your friends to follow the same instructions.
These could take as little as five minutes of your time but it will make a huge difference because of the ripple effect. When one person leaves it will automatically incentivize your friends to follow you. You have the power to make a difference.
Elon grew up and enjoyed the South African Apartheid regime and he is a neo-Nazi.
Elon Musk is a danger to democracy all over the world
Nazi supporting Nazi also supports other Nazis.
Literal supervillain
It should be unsurprising that he's trying to destroy other major economies around the world, seeing as that's the policy of those who he's aligned himself with politically.
An apartheid-loving nazi calls for the nazi party to be the savior of Germany? Never would I have guessed.
The information, I as a not very politically interested German (understatement) have: We are holding re-elections on Feburary 23rd because the current government imploded. Basically, the rich guys' party doesn't want to make rich guys pay taxes and being children about it, most other parties seem desperate at this point, else they wouldn't have challenged that much. They have never cared that much, so I have no idea what changed. The populist nazi party Musk cheers for has a lot traction because people are beyond stupid and self-centered and I fear that they will get a significant amount of votes. Maybe they don't win outright, but they will realistically take second place. I regard everyone that considers to vote for AfD as a nazi.
Shut up musk. Go back to being Trump's little money bitch before he gets mad and divorces you.

I do not understand the outrage on this (regard Musk being Far-Right supporter), everyone knows Musk has become an immensely Extreme Far-Right supporter and leans heavily into Fascism. He support all the Right/ Far-Right political parties and people.
“only the AfD can save Germany.”
As usual, his claims are immensely wrong, stupid and idiotic. I mean, the afD literally tried to do a coúp in Germany;
- Gevaar voor Duitsland niet geweken met oppakken coupplanners, angst voor rechts-radicale AfD groeit.
- Germany's far-right AfD party to eject members for suspected links to militant group.
The AfD, which polls second ahead of Germany’s February snap election, has been labeled extremist by German intelligence.
Unfortunately shows that lots of people in Germany are supporting Far-Right/ Nazism ideas, tactics and ideology. Especially since it has been proven that many of the afD are Nazi-supports (especially the leaders);
From article 3;
The case involved Björn Höcke's use of "Everything for Germany!" in a 2021 speech. While prosecutors said he knew it was originally a Nazi slogan, Höcke claimed it was an "everyday saying".
This text is to separate the quote of the article and the quote from OP's post.
Political leaders accused Musk of election interference, while others criticized his remarks as harmful.
Accussed? If I remember, he did interfere with the election in America by trying to 'purchase' votes (Insanity that this is allowed);
What clearer and more obvious sign does one need to call him a Nazi? Disabling his right-wing ex-twitter propaganda network in Europe (and other civilized places) should be a top priority.
Aged like milk.
Musks proclamations are about as valid as his orange boyfriends
Seems like something that I would expect from Elon nowadays.
Hi Elon, only Pasquale, the best pizza maker of my hometown, can save your Tesla truck
(A short fall a long way)
