He's quite able to abuse his power. And it's right to call out to others and warn them that this isn't OK; just because he's rich and self-serving doesn't mean we all need to bow to his whims.

I support constitutional democracies, social security, worker rights, civil rights and public healthcare, all things some libertarian billionaires don't seem to like !

Of course it would have been interference. There's a long and generally very well followed tradition in all friendly democracies that people in political government positions don't meddle with each others elections, in particular refraining from campaigning for a specific party on the other side. This isn't some new rule; it's been followed for decades at least. Worse, Musk's campaign is harmful to social cohesion (much as Trump's was). Regardless of his policies and right vs. left-wing or pro-rich vs. anti-rich or whatever positioning, the _way_ they're chasing power is harmful. They're one of the links in the chain that's pulling society down by sowing needless division. It's also a bad idea for controllers of platforms to attempt such influence, unfortunately, the rich and powerful aren't generally as circumspect. Musk is the embodiment of corporate media, but instead of people seeing that; he's creeping ever further into the role of Commander-in-Chief-in-all-but name. He's not your friend; he's just a selfish con-man. He'll happily shout race-baiting lib-triggering slogans to get the US citizens to be so distracting by fighting each other they won't bother noticing that even while he claims to be against e.g. immigration he'll actually push for _more_ of it as long as it serves him. This isn't too different even from Trump himself, who claimed to want to build a wall, but somehow never found time or money for that - but did find much _more_ money to cut taxes for himself and other super-rich. Or how Trump just this past year pretended to want to crack down on immigration yet actually torpedoed a very-right wing immigration control bill; he _intentionally_ acted to _increase_ uncontrolled immigration just so he could keep the topic in the national attention come election time.

Musk is focused on Mars and the population of Earth. Big picture ideas. The left leaning parties have ushered in declining birthrates by sacrificing the nuclear family and societal values in general. So expect Musk to be against DEI and anything that would impact fertility and demographics negatively. Specifically as to what happened with one of his children in the California school system, Musk looked at the effect of the shift to the Left and decided to take action.

Musk is playing economics based politics. His aims: 1. He knows he/Tesla had lost a lot of potential clients with liberal views after he supported Trump. This is true for EU other democratic regions. He is also facing competition in EU from German carmakers, for example BMW sold more cars in Europe than Tesla for the past quarters of 2024. 2. He knows he lost those clients for good so he is trying to win the other flank, which is the growing right wing. For example AFD supporters in Germany. By aligning himself with AFD supporters he hopes they will buy his cars. 3. He would love for AFD to win, because he wants bad image for Germany. If AFD wins, this will have negative effect on Germany, especially in the view of democratic world. This aspect could sway potential customers across the democratic countries to buying Tesla cars instead of German cars bringing him back the customers he lost by supporting Trump. So if you are AFD fan, think twice about buying Teslas, rather support your own car makers, because Musk is just manipulating you. And if you are for Democracy and stong Germany, then the choice is clear - avoid Musk, Tesla and the AFD altogether. Another issue is that Musk is just making and advertisement for himself and his cult by propagating these "radical views". The media is constantly falling for this trick making even more content about him and AFD. Just look at the hashtags on this video ... why DW?

Not only would that diminish the blame on Musk, more importantly it raises big question marks about freedom of the press in Germany.
