Summary

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck have criticized Elon Musk for endorsing the far-right AfD ahead of Germany’s February snap election.

Scholz expressed concerns over Musk’s influence on democracy, given the AfD’s ties to extremism and pro-Putin stances.

Musk, who has also attacked German leaders on his platform X, plans a live talk with AfD leader Alice Weidel on January 9.

Habeck called Musk’s actions a “frontal attack on democracy” and warned against underestimating his influence as a wealthy media tycoon with global reach.

    “Uneasy”

    Dear Americans, could you keep space Karen on a leash? It’s not house trained, pisses everywhere and it’s about to get bitten.

        He’s the new President’s doggy, doesn’t matter which shelter he came from. If he bites, he should get neutered.

          Agreed. Personally, I think we should strap him to an SLS rocket and shoot him at the surface of the moon. It would be worth a billion dollars.

          A pet that’s not going to be used for breeding should generally ALWAYS be neutered.

          A pet that is unable to control their bite instinct and harms humans around it is generally euthanized as a matter of public safety.

    Goddammit Olaf, this is probably your last chance to be vocal and present about something for once.
