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.

    I’ll make it really simple: YES.

    if they’re a political extreme who preaches intolerance, they must be ruthlessly crushed, driven out and silenced, by any means necessary.

      Neat. Which governing authority do you trust judging who is a “political extreme” - and keep in mind people like Trump can be in power.

        Governing authority, as in government body? Absolutely none.

        There must be absolute separation from the judiciary, who are responsible for upholding the law.
