@w7voa Noted. Mollusk was actually created by the US government,ie, huge financials for EV development subsidies, huge government defense communications contracts.
Corollary here: what we create we can also destroy........

@yacc143 @w7voa Last time I checked Mollusk was not elected for anything and has no governmental powers(DODGE is advisory only, not legislation)

Stop the white-washing:

The AfD is a fascistic party.

A threat to Germany's constitution and democracy.

@w7voa after Putin, you can see as act of a foreigner interference in a democracy. Brazil already showed us on how to deal appropriately with this kind of individuals. Would be enough to censor X in the country.

@w7voa Democratic leaders complain, whilst the fascists just do what they want, regardless.

Complaining does nothing. Action is required.

@w7voa money doesn't stink. I mean, I thought that making commercial media an market was incredibly stupid, but did I know.
Saving grace is that I don't believe this will move any needles. Musk is not authority he think he is. Still, it is horrible.

@w7voa Someone should make a movie exposing the ugly story of EM and his appalling family. Someone like Michael Moore, for example.

@w7voa If non-US countries don't reign in this little prick, he is going to continue to interfere in democracies and elections all around the world. Germany next, then the UK...

@w7voa

I made some absolut correct points for sure, unfortunately i did not mention that AFD want to Putlin and wants to weaken the EU in a misunderstood way, because Europe should stay stron with EU Economic and concentrate, but should not make so much bullshit in other matters belonging to the national staates, next to fiscal issues not solved.
