Do not accommodate. A courageous editor there.

Trump advisor, X site owner Elon Musk pens German newspaper opinion piece supporting far-right AfD party - said his ‘significant investments’ justified his wading into German politics

German paper’s opinion section editor resigned in protest (paper part of Axel Springer media group, owns Politico)

Down with oligarchs.

Yeah saw that yesterday.. that agent of apartheid non-human needs to be put in its place

mynahleague.bsky.social•60 days ago

Stop reading Politico, it helps fund op-eds by people like Elon supporting AFD.

sjf124.bsky.social•60 days ago

not sure resigning is the best way to handle this -- why no write an opposing op-ed -- do not let his views go unchallenged. he's not that bright, actually, pretty simple. fascism wins when pro-democracy folks stay quiet.

Boycott Politico, too Trumpy, and so is it's ownership.

He reminds me a bit of Henry Ford but with much more money 💰.

Does Muskrat think he’s some kind of political strategist? He knows how to be a total putz, but I don’t think that really counts.

mountainfriend.bsky.social•60 days ago

Musk doesnt know what happens to oligarchs who wade into the world of dictators. He thinks they behave like heads of state of democratic countries. How can he be so naive?

wyldefire.bsky.social•59 days ago

Doesn't this make Musk an illegal/unregistered foreign agent? Can't the Biden Administration arrest and prosecute him for this?

bossya.bsky.social•60 days ago

Good god, he’s like the Hydra!Tentacles slithering into everything!

miketherieau.bsky.social•60 days ago

So he’s a nazi?

leftphotography.bsky.social•60 days ago

This guy can’t even hide it anymore. His Nazi roots are showing

Under such logic and buttressed by Scalia and Alito’s Citizens United, the CCP, Saudi royal family, and Vladimir Putin can all pen op-Ed’s weighing in on our elections and openly rooting for their GOP fascists of choice.

Some Germans understand what's at stake here.

They've seen this movie.

Fingers crossed ‘some’ means ‘a lot.’

dhunsber.bsky.social•60 days ago

That man has some serious megalomania going on in that brain.

Here. Here. For the opinions editor. ✍️

fornowon.bsky.social•60 days ago

Is it really the best thing. Why not refuse to print it and let make them fire you?

wrestlingdad1975.bsky.social•60 days ago

Yup he is a racist moron who wishes Aparteid was still a thing in South Africa

mscottpaper.bsky.social•60 days ago

Again we see the selfish, misguided sense of entitlement based solely on being wealthy. That is all that he is.

ayeeye-mindfuque.bsky.social•60 days ago

Musk's perceived power is his money. Take that away, and he's just another Mike the Pillow guy. Both Starlink and SpaceX need to be nationalised as vital to our national defense. Just do that, President Biden, and Elon's fortunes tumble. Let that be a lesson to other overreaching billionaires.

Musk IS A NAZI

egoode.bsky.social•60 days ago

I wouldn't have resigned. I would have refused to publish the editorial and made them fire me.

rferruggia.bsky.social•60 days ago

He seems to think he owns the whole world.
