The tech entrepreneur and close adviser to Donald Trump Elon Musk has taken a stunning new public step in his support for the far-right German political party Alternative for Germany (AfD), publishing a supportive guest opinion piece for the country’s Welt am Sonntag newspaper that has prompted the commentary editor to resign in protest.
The commentary piece in German was launched online on Saturday ahead of being published on Sunday in the flagship paper of the Axel Springer media group, which also owns the US politics news site Politico.
Musk uses populist and personal language to try to deny AfD’s extremist bent and the piece expands on his post on the social media platform X that he owns, on which he last week claimed that “only the AfD can save Germany”.
To anyone confused: Musk may live in the US, but like all the uber-wealthy, he doesn’t consider himself a citizen of anywhere because he can jump in his private jet and fly anywhere on a whim without needing to have his passport checked by anyone.
These people do not live in the same world as us, and the fact that Musk is knee-deep in numerous countries politics is ample fucking evidence of such. He will support any group that benefits him in the short-term, that’s all.
“Jean-Baptiste… Emanuel… Zorg.”
And his worst enemy - fruit.
That’s not who I was thinking of, but sure. Him too.
This is AI generated! No way he actually ever styles his hair like that!
It took me a while to notice.
For those still unaware: there are barely hidden salutes.
pens German newspaper opinion piece supporting far-right
Isn’t he angry that the gop is full of racists. And now he’s supporting the racist AfD? Man if only he could have some form of consistency. I’m sick and tired of him.
If he’s angry that the GOP is full of racists then he’s got a funny way of showing it.
Isn’t he angry that the gop is full of racists.
Has he looked in the mirror lately?
full of racists who say he can’t be President and Emperor of the USA because he wasn’t born there? I think that’s what he means
You know, if people like Musk hate immigration so much then they should encourage investment and peace in other countries so that people don’t want to leave their home countries.
No one really wants to go to Europe etc., they’re either literally dying in poverty or being killed in their own countries.
Let’s be honest, the poor state of countries where these immigrants are coming from is the fault of decades of neoconservative policies of regional destabilization. The West needs to answers for its short-sighted thinking now, and they’re having a hard time understanding how this is a self created problem.
Indeed. Imagine if Mexico was governed like Canada. The Mexicans would be building a wall to prevent the Americans from swamping their country.
Musk fails to understand the racist themselves are attracted to the people they want to kill. DNA samples were taken from Hitler’s relatives and they found Haplogroup E1b1b1, which means the motherfucker was part African and Jewish. His excuse for supporting Weidel and the fucking AfD is pathetic.
The most fun part is, that Alice Seidel is a lesbian, living in Switzerland that adppted a Child with -how do i put it- high melantonin
Yep, +1. Like the Nazis, MAGAts, Communists and all the other extreme right and left nutters, a bunch of hypocrites.
So you want to tell me that a nazi supports nazis??
So you wanna tell me an american billionaire bribes a german billionaire to support a far-right party that’s founded to help poor people? Really? REALLY?
He really wants to be Göring.
