Elon Musk is backing the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), triggering an outcry in Berlin in the run-up to a critical snap election.

“Only the AfD can save Germany,” the billionaire X owner wrote on the platform on Friday in the latest of a series of endorsements of European far-right parties.

Musk has recently supported European populist-right politicians in increasingly clear terms, including Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloniand Reform UK leader Nigel Farage. Earlier this week, Farage boasted that Musk is “right behind” him — and raised the prospect that the tech tycoon would financially back his Reform UK party.

      That would be an amazing death. I wouldn’t wish him to die so kindly. I don’t mind if Musk would bleed out in the streets or something. And I’m against killing people in general, I don’t see how that could benefit anyone… With some exceptions. Like Hitler, Putin, Musk, etc. But to be clear, I don’t have plans and I don’t want to push others to do something… I’m just saying I wouldn’t mind.

      Also, OD on ket is really hard to do.

          I’ve been K-holing in a hot tub, still hard AF. Maybe if he would do ketamine and drive a cybertruck it would work but that would endanger others. It does sound like something he would do, take as much people down with him.

              I seriously don’t understand what happened there. I think there must have been other factors in play as well, I guess we’ll never know. John Oliver showed even coroners can be a scam in the US.

        It’s really hard to OD on Ketamine. More likely he either will or has already developed K bladder… which is not fun and permanent

          I doubt he does more ketamine then me, and I have no bladder issues (tested). You’d need to be addicted or have a weak bladder or something to get it, otherwise you’re fine. Just make sure you drink enough liquids. AFAIK he’s just a recreational user, just like me.
