Germany's far-right AfD welcomes Musk backing

I miss when rich guys just bought sports teams

Didn't his estimated wealth nearly double in the past couple years? He's got enough money to buy all the governments at this point

Fortunately, AfD is not in the government and possibly never will be

He's . . . he's a CEO isnt' he?

People have a real problem grasping the wealth of 500 Billion dollars. At the Median US household income it would take 12 years to make a million dollars; 1,200 years to make a hundred million dollars; 12,000 years to make a billion dollars; and 1.2 million years to make a 100 billion dollars.

His wealth is essentially limitless. It is that of a moderate sized country like Norway or Israel. When he can have an effect with 100 million dollars he could influence 5,000 elections with 500 billion dollars. And that's not even talking about his investments in social media, PR cult of personality, and straight up vote buying in broad daylight.

I sincerely hope he and X end up banned from Europe, with a warrant out for his arrest in relation for doing this. Because America has proven unable to stop him. Another country might though if they come down hard on anyone accepting his money and as hard as they can on him without using their military.

Cheap? More like insanely profitable. It's like any good business venture: you use your successes to expand.

I mean this was pretty blatant:

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.

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.

Realistically, it's not gonna happen. There's too much cowardice in our political system for that.

I hear there are 3 or for 4 candidates for chancellor now one is a lesbian Nazi bitch living in Switzerland so no, no wehrhafte Demokratie.

All candidates are not well liked in terms of approval ratings so hooray 2025.

AfD is cheering while the SPD's thugs attack and arrest Jews calling for an end to Israeli terrorism.

Not lookin' good

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]”.

Yeah it’s weird because you can both see Russia as an exporter of hate, but the US is on it too. I guess before late everyone will be on it.

Our political center is far right anywhere else. Democrats are right-leaning centrists and Republicans are literal Wolfenstein Nazis

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’d be, with extremely little resistance, willing to listen to your argument. Tread heavily if you dare.

Sure would be nice if he just dropped dead of natural causes.

Foreigners don't have political rights by definition. This is something that should be enforced to the last consequences.

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.

See, this is why I don't mind George Soros, a billionaire, is funding left wing causes. Too much of the rich class is disproportionately funding the right. Fight fire with fire.

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.

Maybe? He did try to take power once, failed, went to prison for like a year and then got right back to it.

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"

Unfortunately I'm fairly sure that particular monster actually had some sense of charisma and strength-projection. I'm sure people still saw through it, but couldn't say much because he was considered a "world leader" with the rest of em.

This, of course, was before the grand spectacle that was reality television, so now our megalomaniacal monsters simply have to generate interesting headlines and do bozo nonsense to attempt world takeover.

I'm legit surprised MrBeast or a Kardashian hasn't attempted to buy rulership over a smaller country at this point. You know, just for the views.

Depends how western. For americans Russia is on the west.

It's not surprising though. From what I've seen they are just Red Hats Deutschland Edition. Just need some altered merch and bam, Deutschlun'! MDWG!

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.

Ist Elon Arsch oder Eimer oder beides?

I would prefer a Russian.

We dont want his innocent family to all be bombed out of existence. Just Musk falling out of a window would be great.

They are so far right that the already far right French Le Pen kicked them out of the EU coalition for being too far right.

Oh, they are.

Many of them are neo-nazis and/or right-wing extremists. A comparison with the GOP is difficult but I'd say they're similar in their hatred of non-white people and their disdain for liberal democracy.

• AfD party leader

Not far right at all.

Fuck Off, He is far right even in the US.
