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.
The existence of AfD proves that laws banning fascism simply don’t work. The entire strategy is designed to undermine and overthrow representative liberal democracy, which is why it is so adept at worming its way around the legal system and coopting positions of power.
