Elon Musk is backing the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), triggering an outcry in Berlin in the run-up to a critical snap election.

“Only the AfD can save Germany,” the billionaire X owner wrote on the platform on Friday in the latest of a series of endorsements of European far-right parties.

Musk has recently supported European populist-right politicians in increasingly clear terms, including Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloniand Reform UK leader Nigel Farage. Earlier this week, Farage boasted that Musk is “right behind” him — and raised the prospect that the tech tycoon would financially back his Reform UK party.

    Musk needs to die. He’s the single most dangerous person on the planet, moreso than Trump himself or even Putin.

    I hope some brave schmuck close to him is prepared to sacrifice everything. I would do it myself if there was any realistic chance of success.

    And before this disappears due to “advocating violence” - he and his ilk don’t just advocate violence but actually visit it upon us, on a daily basis. Fuck off with your righteousness. Tyrants should never be suffered.

        That would be an amazing death. I wouldn’t wish him to die so kindly. I don’t mind if Musk would bleed out in the streets or something. And I’m against killing people in general, I don’t see how that could benefit anyone… With some exceptions. Like Hitler, Putin, Musk, etc. But to be clear, I don’t have plans and I don’t want to push others to do something… I’m just saying I wouldn’t mind.

        Also, OD on ket is really hard to do.

            I’ve been K-holing in a hot tub, still hard AF. Maybe if he would do ketamine and drive a cybertruck it would work but that would endanger others. It does sound like something he would do, take as much people down with him.

                I seriously don’t understand what happened there. I think there must have been other factors in play as well, I guess we’ll never know. John Oliver showed even coroners can be a scam in the US.

      His dad recently saying how proud he is that elon is finally embracing his family’s political leanings and then immediately talking about there’s a long history of Nazis in the family is just hilarious
