Elon Musk

Continuing his efforts to shape an environment that will allow the transfer of more wealth to the rich:

Tech billionaire Elon Musk penned an op-ed further expressing support for the far-right German political party Alternative for Germany (AfD). In response, the paper’s commentary editor resigned in protest.

Musk, a close ally of President-elect Trump, wrote a guest opinion piece in the German Welt am Sonntag newspaper, Axel Springer media group’s flagship news outlet, that was released on Saturday. In it, the tech mogul touched on a variety of issues that, in his view, Germany needs to address as it near an “economic and cultural collapse.”

The Tesla CEO said he has the “right” to address the country’s political climate as he has “made significant investments” in Germany’s technological and industrial sectors.

Musk’s op-ed in the German newspaper comes just over a week ago after the SpaceX executive endorsed the far-right party, saying “Only the AfD can save Germany.” He received pushback from some current and former Congressional lawmakers, with some labeling the group as a neo-Nazi party.

“The portrayal of the AfD as right-wing extremist is clearly false, considering that Alice Weidel, the party’s leader, has a same-sex partner from Sri Lanka! Does that sound like Hitler to you? Please!” Musk wrote in his opinion piece, mentioning Weidel, a co-chair of the party.

In the op-ed, Musk argued that Germany’s economy is handicapped by regulatory overreach and bureaucracy.

“The AfD has understood that economic freedom is not just desirable, but necessary. Its approach of reducing government over-regulation, cutting taxes and deregulating the market reflects the principles that made Tesla and SpaceX successful,” Musk wrote, according to a rough translation.

South African endorses fascists ... I'm shocked.

And he is, rightly so, catching a load of flak for this over here, from everybody. Everybody but the AfD of course, some of whom got caught AGAIN in a secret meeting (in Switzerland) with neo-Nazis, talking about privatisation of deportation and deportation based on DNA tests and speech analysis (i kid you not).
