In the post shared by Musk, the account lamented the presence of humanitarian groups in the Mediterranean Sea that rescue migrants from distressed vessels.
“These NGOs are subsidized by the German government,” the account posted. “Let’s hope AfD wins the elections to stop this European suicide.”
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Earlier this month, Germany’s foreign ministry announced it was dispersing funds to two nonprofit organizations that assist asylum-seekers, including a group that conducts search-and-rescue operations in the Mediterranean Sea.
Musk, on Friday, amplified similar criticism and directly waded into German domestic politics, suggesting that the governing coalition should pay a price at the ballot box.
AfD is Alternative for Germany, a far-right political party that campaigns against migration to Europe — and has strong ties with right-wing extremists, including those of an “outright neo-Nazi nature,” per an investigation by Der Spiegel.
According to the United Nations, the vast majority (83%) of migrants crossing the Mediterranean — many fleeing war, political repression, and poverty in Africa and the Middle East — end up landing in Italy.
“Considering that on average one person dies every three hours in the Mediterranean Sea while fleeing, two million euros for search and rescue in this year’s federal budget is more than sobering,” Kaldenhoff said.
This week he traveled to to Eagle Pass, Texas, where on a choppy X livestream he lambasted the White House for not doing more to quell the flow of migrants across the US-Mexico border.

Fuck this guy.
Him, and the rest of this power-greedy horde emanating in this world, too.
Although they have been trying again and again to subvert that one adage regarding who gets to rightfully write human history: the sole victors at large, the underdogs with their numbers, or the tricksters that pull the marionette strings behind the show.
And yes, the fictional Dream and DreamXD characters fit in, too.
Apartheid-baby in support of nazis? Say it ain’t so.
Apartheid mining heir baby, even. The man is practically a living stereotype of modern colonialism.
If he were fictional, the author would be accused of lazy writing and overusing tropes. Unfortunately for us though, he is not fictional.
Ten or so years ago I liked the guy. He did great things with tesla and spacex. Now every bit of information I get about him deminish my respect more than the previous. It seems like tesla and spacex has done great in spite of him, not because of him.
In the 2010s, friends and family always rolled their eyes when I told them he didn’t found Tesla, wasn’t a rocket engineer and got kicked out of Paypal. I was always just a Debby Downer who just didn’t want it to work or something. Now after Hyperloop Vaporware, dead monkeys from brain transplants, shut down Starlink for Ukraine and the Twitter aquisition, they finally joined my choir. I will admit it’s quite gratifying to hear some of them say “you were right all along” after years of being dismissed.
Of course nobody on the internet will admit they were wrong, though. They’ll either stick to him, claim they always doubted him or say he just changed. Whatever, it is what it is.
He did great things with tesla and spacex
His employees did, I doubt he knows jack shit about designing cars or rockets. He stole the credit to create this image that he’s like a real life Ironman.
It seems like tesla and spacex has done great in spite of him, not because of him.
Twitter is the perfect example of that, what happened to it is the demonstration of what happens when there’s no one to babysit him out of not taking stupid decisions.
He was okay before he started engaging politics. Although his treatment of workers and women always had me concerned
*he bought companies that did great things, I dont get how that wasn’t obvious all along
I honestly thought he founded both companies back then. I don’t know if that he just bought them was obvious/something everyone should know or if I was clueless. I guess maybe it is a mix of both.
He did found SpaceX
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpaceX
He didn’t found Tesla but it had 7 employees and was about to go bust when he bought in (2014) 8 months after it was founded
He founded SpaceX not bought it. He bought Tesla when it was a failing startup with an unsellable prototype.
It probably was the smart people he hired that made them successful but he very definitely didnt just buy thriving businesses and claim their existing success as his.
The guy is an ass and a terrible person, but he very definitely was instrumental in building those companies
Well he would know what the worst case scenario is of a bunch of people coming in from somewhere else to your home is, as a white South African and American. Now I assume he’s concerned there aren’t enough white people in any of those countries
He absolutely (and openly) believes in “Great Replacement”
