Elon’s an attention-seeking cretin that will say or do anything to remain relevant. This is equal parts dangerous and desperate
The problem is that he’s rich enough to have bought an entire social network to express himself and has the ability to influence a lot of very important situations.
Dude literally bought himself a $44B safe space
And turn off communications for Ukraine during a war operation. He’s a baddie.
Exactly
I find it depressing that not wanting migrants to drown, is framed as ‘support for migrants’ and somehow left wing.
If a suspected rapist was drowning in a pond, I’d expect the police to save them, then jail them. Leaving people to die without any right to a trial or to be heard, is simply sociopathic.
It’s perfectly possible to have a hardline anti-migration policy, which doesn’t involve allowing thousands of people to drown.
3 billionaires and young adult vs 300 migrants. The world was mad at us for not caring about 4 billionaires, not themselves for not caring about 300 migrants.
In concept, sure, it’s possible. In practice, as we see here, the sorts of people who have hardline anti-immigration opinions tend to do so because they see those migrants as being less than fully human.
Wow what a surprise. Racist man is racist.
Really hoping the civil rights act charges stick. It’s high time he got called out and faced real consequences.
“Fascist supports fascists”
Cooperating all over the globe while trying to keep people pitted against each other.
The AfD are neonazi scum. Musk should be sold per pound to feed the poor in eastern Europe if he’s so fond of the AfD’s fake rhetoric.

This is surprising to nobody.
Downvote Musk spam. He will say/do anything to stay in the 24 hour news cycle.
The billionaire doesn’t need your help ensuring him and his businesses stay in the headlines every day. Don’t be a useful idiot.
It’s almost as if a rich kid who grew up being served by virtual slaves…
Literal Nazis. Nazis RAUS!
I’ll be genuinely surprised if we ever get to see another news title about Elon that isn’t “Elon does/says some unimaginably stupid/shitty thing”.
Just another way to say “that 2 million Euros should have been for me”.
fun fact: this far right extremist party is also the second strongest party in germany, with the strongest being very closely aligned to their values!
That fact is no fun at all :(

That is not true - they are not currently the second strongest.
there are some polls where this party is seen as a strong contender for future elections.
no, not currently. I worded that wrong. They’re gonna be the second strongest party according to polls and general vibe of the country rn. The fascists are coming back, and they’re coming back strong. Attacks against jewish and queer people have risen rapidly. Fuck, even i’ve been the victim of a fascist attack.
Right. On the other hand its Austrian cousin FPÖ is currently polling first 🤮
That’s not very accurate, the current chancellor and Germany in general are very left-leaning outside the very catholic regions.
the german government right now is a horrible neoliberal mess trying to greenwash their actions
they are not left at all
if they were, we wouldn’t need Last Generation blocking roads.
The chancellor’s party is center-left in the typical European social democrat way, he himself is more of a moderate. But the current coalition polls at around 40%, so calling Germany very left-leaning is a very optimistic statement.

According to current polls, more than 20% are willing to vote for an openly xenophobic, extreme right party of nazi-sympathizers, science deniers and reactionaries. They want to deny basic rights of queers and people with disabilities and call for ceasing to support Ukraine and dropping Russian sanctions. The currently strongest polling party, the center-right CDU, had for a long time been fundamentally opposed to working with the far right, but are now getting more cosy with them, seemingly testing the waters on local and state levels.
So yeah, unless that somehow sounds like a good direction for Germany to move in, “left-leaning” would unfortunately be an optimistic misjudgement of the current state of affairs.

People viewing Nazis as the lesser evil and willing to enable them are only moderately less worse than proper nazis and no less dangerous.

Protest voters willing to vote far right is not really making things better. I don’t understand how people wanting to ban it are relevant…
