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.
They should’ve done that years ago. Twitter was a shit show long before Elon took over. And there are barely any normies on X. So public official presence isn’t necessary. Neither from a democratic nor an election winning viewpoint.
