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.
What?!? No way, he’s a billionaire and they’re nothing but good.
Everyone donates money, he didn’t send that much.
What’s a few hundred million between friends? He’s a supporter of their economy which is like being a shareholder.
It’s not Elon’s fault other people aren’t using that much money.
He didn’t know it was illegal, it was just an oopsie daisy.
Germany was in danger of electing another Socialist government like Hitler, something had to be done!
