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.
What the fuck does he even know about germany?
His knowledge is mostly restricted to the years 1933-1945.
He didn’t read the ending. No one tell him the spoiler.
It’s not an oligarchy yet.
Someone call luigi
He knows that Nazis are from there, and that’s pretty fckn rad baby
This country collapses when the far right party is in power.
We have a huge problem. Me need young people from other countries, because Germany is pretty old.
Having those clowns in power will worsen the problem.
Musk later doubled down, calling for Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s resignation.
This stupid POS doesn’t even know that this already happened a few days ago.
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.
register for Bluesky
Replace that with Mastodon and you’re golden.
Either is better than X/Twitter for now. Bluesky is “easier” for many people. I prefer Mastodon myself, but there’s a bridge so I can follow Bluesky profiles (and vice-versa) which is nice.
Bluesky is not better, it’s at best a sidegrade and possibly worse.
This is false. It still has areas in which it could improve, but it is a thousand times better than twitter.
Elon grew up and enjoyed the South African Apartheid regime and he is a neo-Nazi.
American here. Can we begin our deportations with Musk?
Not while he’s our president.
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.
can we get an Alternative for Douchebag already
Shut up musk. Go back to being Trump’s little money bitch before he gets mad and divorces you.
Fascism loves capitalism.
Literal supervillain
Stfu Musk you know shit about Germany
Elon has a lot of money, therefore people listen to him, therefore he knows everything about anything he pleases.
English teacher here. Often editing to use less words can make your statements more concise and accurate. For example, try “STFU Musk, you know shit”
I’m not a native English speaker, thank you!
Don’t listen to them, your statement was fine, your English is good, and I think what you wrote is better than their edit.
I think they’re trying to be funny by implying that he doesn’t know shit about anything, rather than just Germany, but it’s not a well crafted joke if that was the intention.
Oh i knew that, my reply was purely ironically :)
But that sounds like the other usage of shit. It can mean nothing or it could man a lot. I mean with the shut the fuck up (which is more impactful than STFU) connotation the meaning isn’t lost but it’s a more confusing statement.

Elon Musk is a danger to democracy all over the world
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.
