    Remember when Musk said he was working on saving all those people, but then someone else actually did it instead of just trying to show off on Twitter, so Musk baselessly called him a pedophile? You know, like a normal well-adjusted human.

    Two days before there was news about the giga factory close to Berlin where they produce batteries for tesla. Its incredibly unsafe to work there. Other German car factory have 2/3 less accidents and less severe ones. The article was really alarming. Everyone spoke about it. Then followed the x about the afd. Now everyone speaks about that. Smart move. Please let’s speak about people almost dying in those factories again!

    That man is not worth the amount of air he breathes. He is a tumor on society. I cannot put into words how despicable I find him.

    Where is the anger? He made a stupid post, siding with what can only be described as neo nazis and got owned by the german foreign ministry on his own platform. Didn‘t stop him from doubling down with insane radical right claims, though. Anyway, that‘s a bad headline of quite an empty article if I may say so.

    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.

        Nah, he’s most likely using the 24/7 news cycle to surpress the articles about . This time it’s the news about his tesla factory in Germany being a complete disaster for workers’ safety and the enivornment. He’s just hijacking the news cycle with yet another stupid thing to surpress the news that are hurting his business interests. If we’d stop giving him attention as a person, then he would have absolutely no power over those negative articles.

    A few years ago I had some respect for Musk because he build electric cars and quite revolutionary space ships. Funny how that’s now all gone now.

      If you’re asking because you don’t know how truly awful and scary AfD is: AfD is truly awful and the prospect of them gaining control is very scary. One of the world’s richest people can make things happen in politics.

      If you’re asking because Musk supporting right wing politics is well known: yeah but see above. AfD is scary shit.

          They are remarkably close to being able to push the “ethnic cleansing” button. They have stated their motive, they are close to achieving the means (their popularity is not far behind what Nazis were when they took power).

          A personal anecdote: in 2020 entertained a German visitor (who never offered up a party affiliation, but it can be inferred) for a few hours at a bar. They managed to convey all sorts of political views supporting suppression of others but stopped short of directly calling for genocide. However any reasonable conversationalist would understand what they meant. The closest thing I can think of for this in English is “dogwhistling”, however I am convinced there is a better German word for it.

          They are germanys version of “Trump with a brain”

          If they come to power they will cut taxes for the rich and make everyone of the norm suffer in one way or another. But ofc they are boasting about being “the voice of the people”.

          And they are hypocrites, like one influential woman in this party that regulary insults the LGBT+ community and wants to ban homosexual marriage is married herself to a woman in switzerland.

      Imagine being so privileged (and bigoted) that you can pretend to “not understand” why the richest and potentially most powerful man on the planet is openly supporting Nazis counts as news…
