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.
They say that. But words are cheap. They have been part of the government for two thirds of my life so far and not much to show for in that regard. Quite the opposite actually.
And that’s before we go look back in time why they are called traitors. So no, the sPD does not fit that description.
If they are not socialists, then how can they be traitors. If they were conservatives, you’d say “yep, that’s expected”, not “they betrayed their values and their base”.
