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.

    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.
