Why Elon Musk interferes in politics around the world | DW News

One thing is certain. Drug addicts and alcoholics must be prevented from deciding how a country should be governed.

[@vqme7346]

i don't agree. In a (functioning) democracy one should let drug addicts govern a country if s/he is elected. Sound reasoning can also be achieved by drug addicts although this is less likely edit: with "functioning democracy" I don't mean a democracy in which all the people are essentially formed by social media and algorithms which exploit human biases or other tribal behavioural tendencies in order to reward them for being on the platform and radicalize each other in their opinions, without any recognition of actual facts :)

As a Chinese person, I can’t help but feel that for safety reasons, Musk might lean towards China after shaking things up in the U.S. His mother’s commercials are everywhere here, and we basically view Tesla as a Chinese car company since almost all of its components are made in China. Musk is very skilled at using the language of democratic nations to stir emotions, emphasizing the need for democracy and the victory of good over evil. But for Chinese people, who have seen enough of authoritarian leaders, many of us feel Musk actually has a lot in common with the way things are done in China. That said, I still hope the U.S. does well-it’s a country admired by most educated Chinese people, even though some recent actions have left us a bit puzzled.

Why call them far right?

[@neo5973]

Because they are 😂 not your fault you’re too far in the right to not see it

[@LoveLove-jg9ol]

Because they are. What comes out of their mouths is far right. They spread fear and hate. Divide people.

[@gernhardknallen]

Because they factually are, as was concluded by the German institution for protecting its constitution. Some courts even ruled that it's ok to call some AfD members fascists because they are by definition indeed fascists

What's wrong in endorsing any political party , whether it is Left or Right , as long as it does not set aside the dignity, identity, or the spirit of any democratic principles. It is a FREE democratic World , isn't it !!! Isn't Germany interfering into Syria's new regime !?

[@LoveLove-jg9ol]

Germany will help Syria to get builed up again. So there is no interfering. Syria is broke.

[@LunaticTheCat]

The German AfD party is the definition of a party that sets aside "the dignity, identity, [and] the spirit of any democratic principles." In a Democratic society, there simply can be no tolerance for fascists who wish to use the Democratic to system to take power to implement their fascist ideology and end end Democracy. This is something the Germans understand better than anyone.

Interfere with foreign elections like the German Chancellor did in the US presidential election? Nobody cares about your hypocratic tears

As if Germany, Britain, and France don't interfere in American politics.

[@Raubabbau]

​@@izpodpolja Why spoke Lars Klingbeil, General Secretary of the Spd, at the US Democrat Convention and supported Harris ? Why Luisa Neubauer of the Greens made Door to Door Work for Her ? Why Steinmeier called Trump a Hate Preacher ? Why multiple Politicans and Journalists warned of a Trump Victory and subtile threatened the US when he wins ? Seen the Stern and Spiegel Anti Trump Covers, one with a bloody Knife who beheaded the Statue of Liberty, a frivolity which even the Compact dared ?

Elon wants chaos in NATO countries, it will strengthen Russia and China geopolitically! Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, David Sacks, Joel Pollak and Patrick Soon-Shiong they are public figures of considerable power and influence in the US who all spent some part of their formative years in apartheid South Africa. BRICS which stands for Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. Elon has the largest Tesla car factory in the BRICS country China, Elon wants to replace American employees in the US with BRICS workers from India. Elon never criticizes BRICS countries, but actively works to change policies in NATO countries to weaken the Western alliance!

AfD is not far right. It is comparable with moderate Republlicans in the US. Just do you homework @DWNews. I never took antisemetic, homophobic, racist... points of view. I never praised holocaust - that would be far right! Just do your homework and do your job! Where is your ethos as journalists.

[@RudolphoAqui]

this is insane. Musk has no place in today's politics no more than JP Morgan should have had in 1890s-1910s. There is a reason why Roosevelt (Theodore) was so adamant about the anti trust laws, and why they were a good thing. Now, we're dealing with it on a global scale...this is scary.

[@TheMagicJIZZ]

He's allowed to express his views in any he likes from writing articles to video posts
