Germany says Elon Musk seeking to sway Febrary election
Germany's government says Tesla tycoon Elon Musk is seeking to influence the country's February election, but downplayed his comments. The X owner and Donald Trump ally has declared his support for the far-right AfD.
Summary
The German government accused Elon Musk of trying to influence its February 2024 general election by endorsing the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.
It acknowledged Musk’s right to express his opinion but dismissed its potential impact, calling his remarks "the greatest nonsense."
Musk described the AfD as Germany’s "last spark of hope" in an opinion piece for Die Welt, sparking backlash and the resignation of a senior editor.
Musk has also faced accusations of trying to sway the 2024 U.S. election in Donald Trump’s favor.

He didn’t TRY, he spent over $250 million to help Trump get elected. And campaigned for Trump so that he could gut any government organization under the guise of “efficiency”. All while funneling government subsidies to his own companies.
I'm fairly certain he did more than just fund and campaign
Me, too. It's very odd Trump got the popular vote. I live in a very red county and saw very few Trump signs this time around compared to 2016 and 2020. I didn't mean to be paying much attention to Musk, but as I've been researching AI I've seen enough of his whereabouts prior to his new team-up with Trump to be incredibly disturbed. I think he wants to become a god.
Get your shit together and ban the god damn Nazis already.
It's hard to ban political parties here.
Some people will try this, but our law could stop that...
What’s the temperature over there? I mean, people see Elon as a fuckin hack and a joke, right? He doesn’t have as dedicated of a boot licking club? Or do a good amount of Germans actually buy into his “I’m a genius inventor and a respectable iconoclast who should be listened to” nonsense?
Please tell me he’s going to realize how limited his influence is come February. Please.
F.O.E.
Fuck Off, ElonI thought they already did decades ago. What happened?
It is frequently discussed to ban far-right parties. Decades ago, the NPD could have been banned but it was turned down because they were too insignificant (only getting a few percent in elections, if at all).
With the AfD, it's a different story. They are rather too significant (getting double digit percents). Politicians are worried that if a ban fails, it could give them even more fuel. Some subconscious thought nags me that this wasn't the actual reason, but it's the best I can do right now.
Won't someone rid us of this meddlesome billionaire?
Are you perchance the reincarnation of Henry II of England and intend to pull of some more Thomas Beckets?
The fucking South African neo-Nazi,, Elon, is working with the POS Putin to divide Germany.
Let somebody else be the Nazis for once Germany. It's the US's turn.
If it helps, you were always the nazis in my heart
And that of pre-Nazi Hitler. He got a lot of his ideas from Jim Crow and American bigotry in general.

more like "he bought the US election"
Indeed, fucking Musk and his Moscow buddies. They succeeded to sway the US voters to drink plenty of piss filled Orange Kool-Aid.
What?!? No way, he's a billionaire and they're nothing but good.
Everyone donates money, he didn't send that much.
What's a few hundred million between friends? He's a supporter of their economy which is like being a shareholder.
It's not Elon's fault other people aren't using that much money.
He didn't know it was illegal, it was just an oopsie daisy.
Germany was in danger of electing another Socialist government like Hitler, something had to be done!
For Reference-
- That didn't happen.
- And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
- And if it was, that's not a big deal. (<--- We Are Here)
- And if it is, that's not my fault.
- And if it was, I didn't mean it.
- And if I did, you deserved it.
fuck.
A consensus of elected people. Also INDEPENDENT from the government.
Can you please educate yourself? That's not my burden.
