The Left is Where for a Political Actor: Musk’s Rejoinder on the Campaign Trail with the Trump Electoral Candidate
Musk supports the far right in several countries, including Germany. Since the close of the US election, Musk has taken aim at politics in the UK, attacking British prime minister Keir Starmer, a member of the left-of-center Labor Party, and even calling for his imprisonment. One of the few governments in rich countries that is left-wing is Starmer’s government. “And [Musk] has been especially resolute in how he attacks the administration.”
In the video which she posted, she thanked Musk for his kind words and wished Trump and Musk well for the future.
During the US elections, Musk emerged as one of Trump’s most important allies. In addition to helping support and fund Trumps campaign, he also appeared on the campaign trail with the former president and used his ownership of X to amplify the campaign talking points. After Musk endorsed Trump, engagement on X with posts from Musk and other conservative voices increased, as research showed that they were more likely to favor conservatives. He says that he’s signaling to whoever wants to listen that this is the space for a political actor.
AfD-Nazism and the Digital Service Act: Hitler in Germany, Hitler in the shadows of Musk’s inauguration
“[Hitler] was a communist, and he considered himself as a socialist,” Weidel said in response to Musk asking about media reports linking the AfD to Nazism.
After that terrible era in our history, Hitler was labeled as rightwing and conservative, making him the biggest success in our history. He wasn’t a conservative, he wasn’t a libertarian, he was a communist and we are the opposite.
Hitler describes communism in his book as an enemy of the German nation as he was responsible for the invasion and enslavement of the Soviet Union. He believed that Marxism was a Jewish conspiracy to control Germany and the world.
“The portrayal of theAfD as a right-wing Extremis is incorrect due to the fact that the party’s leader has a same-sex partner from SriRajasthan,” Musk wrote. “Does that sound like Hitler to you? Please!”
The European Union said it would be watching the event on Thursday to see if it was promoted properly in Germany, which would violate the region’s Digital Service Act rules. A European Commission spokesman told WIRED they would not comment on the contents of the broadcast.
The EU commission has 150 officials listening in to the conversation, and the DSA is a tool that is supposed to be used to censor certain things. He stopped listening to free speech. He controlled the media, and without that he would have never been successful.”
