    Supporting far right, pro putin, anti-immigration party. He is literally attempting to become a king maker in the capitals across the globe and negotiate treaties between his puppets free of any political nonsenses.

    US, Brazil UK, Germany, Australia..where else has he actively injected himself?

    the continued rise of the afd would be a bad thing for Ukrainian support in Germany

    German Chancellor Olaf Scholz responds to Elon Musk's support for anti-immigration party: 'Don't feed the troll'


    .................................................................................
    "There are many people on social media who want to attract attention with strong slogans," he continued. "The rule is: Don't feed the troll." He added that he found it "far more concerning" that Musk supported "a partly far-right party like the AfD, which advocates rapprochement with Putin's Russia and seeks to weaken transatlantic relations."

    Musk has sparked debate in Germany in recent weeks by calling Scholz an "incompetent fool" and signaling his support for AfD, the Alternative for Germany party. The AfD was founded in 2013 as an anti-European Union party. More recently, it has taken a hard line on immigration, earning it the label of far-right in some political corners.
    ....................
    Musk reshared a video in December by the right-wing influencer Naomi Seibt in which she criticized Friedrich Merz — a leading candidate to become Germany's next chancellor. "Only the AfD can save Germany," Musk wrote in his post. He later reaffirmed his support for the AfD in an op-ed for the German newspaper Welt am Sonntag. Welt am Sonntag and Business Insider are both owned by Axel Springer SE.

    In the article, Musk wrote: "The AfD advocates a controlled immigration policy that gives priority to integration and the preservation of German culture and security. This is not about xenophobia, but about ensuring that Germany does not lose its identity in the pursuit of globalization."

    Why should Musk hide the vileness there? The criminality and vileness was on full display here and Trump voters still cast a ballot for it.

    We're in a brand new era of Trumpy criminality and vileness. What are our courts, legislators or voters going to do about it? Absolutely NOTHING.

    So if anything, we should be impressed by Musk's ability to recognize and embrace the filth. And profit from it.

    now interjecting himself into british politics. truly trying to make himself a worldwide kingmaker

    UK leader Starmer slams 'misinformation' after attacks from Elon Musk | AP News

    British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Monday condemned “lies and misinformation” that he said are undermining U.K. democracy, in response to a barrage of attacks on his government from Elon Musk.

    The billionaire Tesla CEO has taken an intense and erratic interest in British politics since the center-left Labour Party was elected in July. Musk has used his social network, X, to call for a new election and demand Starmer be imprisoned. On Monday he posted an online poll for his 210 million followers on the proposition: “America should liberate the people of Britain from their tyrannical government.”

    Asked about Musk’s comments during a question session at a hospital near London, Starmer criticized “those that are spreading lies and misinformation as far and as wide as possible,” particularly opposition Conservative politicians in Britain who have echoed some of Musk’s claims. Musk often posts on X about the U.K., retweeting criticism of Starmer and the hashtag TwoTierKeir -– shorthand for an unsubstantiated claim that Britain has “two-tier policing” with far-right protesters treated more harshly than pro-Palestinian or Black Lives Matter demonstrators. During summer anti-immigrant violence across the U.K. he tweeted that “civil war is inevitable.”

    I know his antics as a troll really pleases maga right now but long term it’s pretty clear his interests and the maga movement are going to diverge pretty spectacularly.

    Musk isn't wrong about Germany. The immigrant protests and the increase in crime there are crazy.

    now Italy..int'l kingmaker that would make a middle ages pope jealous

    Elon Musk and Giorgia Meloni’s power friendship stirs controversy in Italy

    Questions about Musk’s influence have dominated the political conversation in Italy for days. One editorial cartoon depicted him as a gladiator demanding a lease on the Colosseum.

    A particular point of contention has involved news that the Italian government is in advanced negotiations with Musk’s SpaceX about servicing the “encrypted data communication needs” of the military, embassies and other security services. Meloni denied that the talks have anything to do with her relationship with Musk — or her visit to Mar-a-Lago to see President-elect Donald Trump last weekend. But that didn’t quiet the critics.

    “If 1.5 billion of Italian money to bring the American billionaire’s satellites to our country is the price we have to pay for his friendship, it is too much,” said Elly Schlein, leader of the opposition Democratic Party. “Italy does not sell out.”

    When the racist and misogynist is the better option to the ruling party that is ruining the country, that's who you support.
    It's why we got Trump, despite all his warts he was still the better option.

    Djt is the worst option of everyone on either primary ballot by far. People complaining about the economy while setting record retail and travel purchases. Inflation was worldwide. Harris by far the better qualified option but no charisma and zero connection with labor.
