Summary
The German government accused Elon Musk of trying to influence its February 2024 general election by endorsing the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.
It acknowledged Musk’s right to express his opinion but dismissed its potential impact, calling his remarks “the greatest nonsense.”
Musk described the AfD as Germany’s “last spark of hope” in an opinion piece for Die Welt, sparking backlash and the resignation of a senior editor.
Musk has also faced accusations of trying to sway the 2024 U.S. election in Donald Trump’s favor.
Yes, just like you’re allowed to touch what the law allows you to touch.
Just because something falls out of someone’s mouth doesn’t mean it should be protected by law.
Fine - craft me a law that would do what you want without being easily abused by the far right to persecute you. And without being a flagrant violation of civil rights.
I’ll be waiting a long time - nobody I’ve ever asked for details has ever given even an attempt at an answer. It’s all just childish “somebody should do something” whining.
Canada doesn’t have unrestricted freedom of speech…
Good for them.
Isn’t that an example of what you’ve been waiting for?
So what musk said would be illegal in Canada?
If he said anything that goes against the laws on Hate Speech, then yes
So no then.
