Germany has been failed by its legacy parties and is teetering on the brink of collapse, Elon Musk wrote in an op-ed for the Sunday edition of the national newspaper of record Die Welt. His diagnoses of Germany’s problems came with a suggested solution, voting for the right-sovereigntist AfD.
The legacy media and prevailing political opinion in mainstream Germany considers the AfD extreme if not outright dangerous. Moves to ban the party are attempted and elements of the force have been investigated by Germany’s political police. Yet Musk in his interjection called on German voters to judge the party on its policies.
He wrote, further: “he AfD, even though it is described as far-right, represents a political realism that resonates with many Germans who feel their concerns are ignored by the establishment… Portraying the AfD as far-right is clearly false, considering that Alice Weidel, the party’s leader, has a same-sex partner from Sri Lanka! Does that sound like Hitler to you? Come on!”.

Meta Is All About Free Speech—Except They Built a Censorship Tool for China
You might remember the video in which Mark Zuckerberg, donned in the outfit of his newly acquired hypebeast persona, ushered in the second Trump administration by declaring that “it’s time to get back to our roots around free expression.” Suddenly, Zuckerberg was a free-speech warrior, which is code for willfully throwing our most vulnerable under the bus to appease conservatives.
