Summary
Elon Musk faces backlash in Germany for using X (formerly Twitter) to amplify far-right narratives, endorse the AfD party, and insult German leaders.
Prominent organizations, universities, and public figures have abandoned X, calling it a hub for hate speech and misinformation.
German officials are debating whether to leave the platform but remain active for now, citing the need to reach users.
Critics argue Musk’s influence skews political discourse globally, as his actions challenge Europe’s political neutrality and ignite debates over regulating billionaire-controlled platforms.

Don’t consider. Do!
Elon Musk is a terrorist.
Weaponized influence and money against governments and people.
musk reminds me of the rich James bond villains
He’s got the money and he’s got the evil motives. But he’s severely lacking the charisma and the brains. Unfortunately for us, those missing qualities don’t seem to matter a great deal because the base that supports him lack the same.
Yet another bullet point on the list of examples that foreign countries dump their worst, most destructive individuals into the US.
SEND MUSK BACK TO AFRICA
Fookan prawns.
Garbage “news”. Can we normalize not writing stupid articles about people considering shit
No. Fucking. Shit.
You should be ditching it from your entire country if you don’t want this fascist prick sabotaging your democracy.
Yep, if you want to use social media for your communications, spin up a Mastodon instance that you control instead of relying on some foreign corporation. Especially now that you can’t even properly load Twitter without an account anyway.
Absolutely. Governmental institutions should hand out mastodon IDs like they hand out email addresses. Then, when they are no longer a member they lose their official voice.
consider
“I don’t know Klaus, should we keep holding court at this Nazi bar?”
Wtf, debating whether to leave.
What would even be the point in staying? There are so many better options.
