How Influential Is Musk among the Far Right in Germany? | DW News

Dec 20, 2024 | Elon Musk, who's also a close adviser to Donald Trump, posted on X that the far-right Alternative for Germany is the only party that can save Germany. The AFD is at odds with the country's mainstream parties, because of its hardline anti-immigrant and anti-European Union stances. It's also under observation by German law enforcement because parts of the party are suspected of seeking to undermine Germany's democratic order.

As I wrote very recently, Elon Musk is one of the world’s most dangerous men. Interfering in other countries’ politics is not acceptable. At this rate, we will see a Nazi government again in Germany. Concentration camps in the USA housing the millions of immigrants that Musk’s best buddy, Trump, intends to deport, and Nazis back in power in Germany. We really are heading towards dark and dangerous times. I was pretty accurate in my assessment on Wednesday last when I called Trump a metastasising cancer on the body politic, wasn't I? Musk wouldn't be wielding all this power without the re-election of Trump. – © Mark Alexander

The Guardian View on Elon Musk and UK Politics: Interference In Plain Sight

THE GUARDIAN – EDITORIAL: American tech billionaires are no more entitled to meddle in British democracy than other foreign oligarchs

Under most circumstances, a British politician seeking cash from a foreign oligarch would make the approach discreetly. Recipient and donor would worry about the relationship looking improper even if the deal could be done without breaching UK electoral law.

Nigel Farage has no such qualms. The Reform leader has boasted of his recent meeting with Elon Musk, the world’s richest person, at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home. Nick Candy, a former Conservative donor and now the Reform party’s treasurer, was also present. Photographs and statements from the British visitors testify to their eagerness that the meeting – and the fact that money was discussed – attract maximum publicity.

Mr Musk has denied reports that he is considering making a multimillion-pound donation to Reform. But he has a proven appetite for meddling in British politics. He has used his X platform to attack Sir Keir Starmer, amplify radical rightwing rhetoric and post inflammatory remarks, including a forecast of civil war in the aftermath of riots over the summer. » | Editorial | Wednesday, December 18, 2024

Elon Musk Is Becoming a One-man Rogue State – It’s Time We Reined Him In

THE GUARDIAN: He has bankrolled elections, stoked riots and ignored laws. We mustn’t make the mistake of playing nice with the world’s richest bully

Elon Musk is, more or less, a rogue state. His intentions are self-serving and nefarious, and his nation-state level resources allow him to flout the law with impunity. To put it into context, if dollars were metres, Musk’s money would be enough to take him to Mars and back, while a mere millionaire could only make a round trip from Paris to Amsterdam.

The sheer immorality of any one person possessing so much wealth is obvious to most people with basic amounts of empathy. But when it comes to Musk and the other 14 people worth more than $100bn, the morality of it is almost a secondary concern. Their individual wealth is a society-distorting threat to democracy in the same way that economics has always recognised monopolies to be dangerous to a functional market.

For $250m in direct support – and an additional $44bn for control over X, nee Twitter, and with it the algorithm behind what 300 million users see on their timelines – Musk was rewarded with a co-presidency. What else are we supposed to make of his appearance at Notre Dame’s reopening, joining Donald Trump and various heads of state? » | Alexander Hurst | Alexander Hurst is a Guardian Europe columnist | Friday, December 20, 2024

Is Elon Musk Planning to Buy the UK Election via Farage?

Dec 18, 2024 | Nigel Farage was not listening to the concerns of the people of Clacton this week but instead in America to meet with the richest man in the world, Elon Musk, to discuss how the billionaire could help Reform UK get a bigger foothold in UK politics. This is very bad for ordinary people as I explain in this video, and what is also sad is how the media find the whole thing very entertaining.

Elon Musk Claims Homelessness Is a 'Lie' and 'Propaganda'

Dec 16, 2024 | According to the world's richest man, homelessness isn't a real thing, and it is a "lie" and "propaganda." Musk claims that charities exist to make money off of homelessness, and that people are only unhoused because they've made horrible decisions in their lives. Nothing could be further from the truth, but this is proof that he is completely out of touch with reality. Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

America is going down the tubes! Why so many people hold the USA up as a model to follow is beyond my comprehension. And I hope it is beyond yours too. By the way, if you listen to the ideas of many of these multibillionaires, you soon find out that their ideas are crackpot and off-the-wall! AMERICAN capitalism STINKS! — © Mark Alexander
