Musk Signals Completion of Bridge Between MAGA and Germany's Far-Right Party

Beloved by Trumpists, no one cares that the US is aligning with fascist parties worldwide.

Alice Weidel, the co-leader of Germany’s far-right AFD party, is so radical that Marine Le Pen, France’s far-right leader, refuses to work with her. However, this hasn’t stopped Elon Musk from putting all of his rotten eggs into Weidel’s little but slowly growing basket.

Elon Musk praised the German party Alternative for Germany (AfD) co-leader as “very reasonable” on Thursday, urging Germans to vote for the far-right party in what is the latest high-profile sign of the tech billionaire’s involvement in European politics.

“Only AfD can save Germany, end of story, and people really need to get behind AfD, and otherwise things are going to get very, very much worse in Germany,” Musk said during an audio livestream alongside party co-leader Alice Weidel on X. Musk, a close ally of US President-elect Donald Trump, compared the political climate in Germany to that in the United States, saying that people were unhappy and demanded change when voting for Trump in November. Germany holds its own election February 23.

“If you are unhappy with the situation, you must vote for change, and that is why I’m really strongly recommending that people vote for AfD,” Musk said (Musk Urges Germans to Vote for AFD).

In a way similar to the way he did when he helped Trump, Musk misuses his Twitter account, which has nearly 300 million followers, and spreads outright lies and propaganda support. When he is not making up and amplifying fantastic lies to support Trump, and now Weidel, he is maligning their opponents. Having gutted Twitter of fact-checking and hateful posts, Musk has become the biggest spreader of misinformation in the world thanks to ownership of Twitter and his massive following.

When he appeared the other day at the podium with the presidential seal and offered up his Nazi salute, which MAGidiots say was just an arm wave saying “Let’s go to Mars, guys,” Musk signaled to Weidel and her followers that he was working hard to finish construction of an international bridge between the AFD and Trump’s MAGA. The fact that Trump, let alone no one in the Republican Party, has commented about the horrific gesture proves that they are all perfectly comfortable with Musk’s signaling.

The toad-like Elise Stefanik the next day argued at her nomination hearing that the gesture was perfectly normal and just another case of fake news by the left. Senator Chris Murphy (D-Connecticut) rightly pointed out that if anyone on the left made a similar gesture, then the entire right would demand blood. Stefanik rolled her eyes and scoffed — which was everyone on the right’s reaction.

Musk also called German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier “an anti-democratic tyrant” after he spoke out against foreign interference during his speech on the dissolution of the country’s parliament, and called for Chancellor Olaf Scholz to resign following a deadly car-ramming attack in Magdeburg, describing him as an “incompetent fool” in a post on X.

Germany’s mainstream politicians were not happy with Musk’s public support for the AfD, with the Social Democrats (SPD) co-leader Lars Klingbeil drawing comparisons between him and Russian President Vladimir Putin (Musk Urges Germans to Vote for AFD).

Elon Musk has become like a rogue digital state thanks to his ability to instantly reach hundreds of millions with lies. His anti-immigrant views and outright calls for fascism are radicalizing right-wing groups throughout the world. His influence in the US election has not yet been measured. Still, it can be estimated that his constant lying and millions invested to get Trump elected swayed a substantial number of dopes across our land. People are not smart enough to know that just because something appears online does not make it true.

A podcaster interviewed MAGidiots in Washington yesterday and asked about their views on Musk’s salute. Only one man out of 20 agreed that Musk’s gesture was strange, but he did not commit to saying it was a Nazi salute. It seems like half of the country doesn’t care that Donald Trump has let a mentally ill, drug-addicted billionaire run the country from behind the curtain, guiding directly into alliances with fascist powers worldwide.

If Musk can get the AFD in power, he will have succeeded in getting the United States and the largest democracy in Europe into his fascist camp. The next task will be to align the fascist U.S. and Germany with Putin’s fascist dictatorship. After creating such a Frankenstein, Musk will become the most powerful person on Earth.

At the end of that story, Frankenstein’s creator killed himself. Musk’s grip on reality seems to be slipping, though, as was seen at the inauguration when his head was bizarrely swiveling from side to side while his eyes twirled. Maybe, he is closer to Dr. Frankenstein’s state of mind than we can know.

Musk is currently the head of “brotechocracy.” The other dwarves, however, are not going to sit idly by while he laps up of this power for himself. Something will soon need to be done about this oligarchy that has formed thanks to Trump. We know that Trump will do nothing, but many still think the C.I.A. killed John Kennedy. The Israelis are good at covert operations, too.

There is hope someone will act sooner or later.
