Two days before there was news about the giga factory close to Berlin where they produce batteries for tesla. Its incredibly unsafe to work there. Other German car factory have 2/3 less accidents and less severe ones. The article was really alarming. Everyone spoke about it. Then followed the x about the afd. Now everyone speaks about that. Smart move. Please let’s speak about people almost dying in those factories again!
I agree that people should be talking about the unsafe conditions in his (and any) factories, but lets not pretend that him openly supporting Nazis, even if he is doing it to divert attention, is still him openly supporting Nazis, and that is a serious threat.
Can you talk more about this here by posting a good quality source?
In german I can find lots of articles from trustworthy newspapers, but in English my short research only found this article from the telegraph. Dont know if this is a good newspaper but what they speak of is the same I read in German newspapers. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2023/09/28/tesla-amputation-union-germany-grnheide-injured-burns-cars/

Remember when Musk said he was working on saving all those people, but then someone else actually did it instead of just trying to show off on Twitter, so Musk baselessly called him a pedophile? You know, like a normal well-adjusted human.
I mean saying our politicians are bastards is always right but if he starts calling them pedos he might actually be arrested as thats legitimately illigal without proof.
I hate current Elon behaviour too but I don’t think Musk’s reaction was completely “baseless”, pretty sure the diver guy was the one that started the fight, insulting the submarine tesla’s engineers made.
Calling him a pedo is a bit too extreme though
I mean, I can call all Tesla cars stupid, all SpaceX rockets garbage, … doesn’t mean Elon gets to insult me personally all of a sudden, does it?
It was a ridiculous submarine that could not have worked. There’s a massive difference between an expert commenting on amateurish nonsense and a libellous playground taunt.
Revealing though. Every right-wing accusation is a confession.
I’d like to summarize your comment: I wouldn’t call his comment baseless except that it had no basis.
He wasn’t insulting the submarine itself, because it had not been built. It did not even exist in a conceptual state beyond Musk’s imagination. The diver was criticizing the idea of using a submarine itself, considering the cave that those kids were stuck in had an opening just barely large enough for a full grown adult to slip through. It was, and still is to this day, the worst solution anybody could have proposed for the problem at hand, billionaire or otherwise.
But when the expert chimed in and said “thanks but no thanks” to his crappy idea, Elon Musk took it super personally and called the dude a pedophile, which is a life-ruining accusation when it comes from a multi-billionaire with millions of rabid fans who think he’s the next Edison. Even if only 1% of his fanbase believed it was true, that’s still a lot of people who now genuinely believe that guy rapes kids and only cared about rescuing the Thai youth soccer team because he was a child predator. They’re going to spread the lie and ruin his reputation. Musk was never punished for this and gave a half-hearted apology to improve the dismal optics he was facing.
sure, I agree with your second paragraph but wdym by “the submarine had not been built”? are you just going by assumptions or do you mean something else?

Sucking his dick like Macron did ?
No, older
oh right
And let’s be quick about it, y’know? Chop chop
What/who are you chopping twice?
It’s a two for one deal.
I second this motion!
Downvote Musk spam. He will say/do anything to stay in the 24 hour news cycle.
The billionaire doesn’t need your help ensuring him and his businesses stay in the headlines every day. Don’t be a useful idiot.
This isn’t positive Musk spam and how much of an ass he is should be known.
Agreed. The world should never forget what a total piece of shit he is.
And this is kind of effin’ important. Facebook and Twitter are critical in misinformation dissemination. Musk has a lot of power not only because he is a billionaire but because he owns Twitter and can influence so many people.
Yeah Elon tusk is pulling the old “they are going to report all that I say! I am a success” bullshit like trump did on Twitter. Has Elon has his cofeve moment yet?
Nah, he’s most likely using the 24/7 news cycle to surpress the articles about . This time it’s the news about his tesla factory in Germany being a complete disaster for workers’ safety and the enivornment. He’s just hijacking the news cycle with yet another stupid thing to surpress the news that are hurting his business interests. If we’d stop giving him attention as a person, then he would have absolutely no power over those negative articles.
I hope the EU fines the shit out of this douche bag
I hope the EU shuts fucking twitter down for antisemitic and Nazi propaganda
Where is the anger? He made a stupid post, siding with what can only be described as neo nazis and got owned by the german foreign ministry on his own platform. Didn‘t stop him from doubling down with insane radical right claims, though. Anyway, that‘s a bad headline of quite an empty article if I may say so.
A few years ago I had some respect for Musk because he build electric cars and quite revolutionary space ships. Funny how that’s now all gone now.
Why is this news?
If you’re asking because you don’t know how truly awful and scary AfD is: AfD is truly awful and the prospect of them gaining control is very scary. One of the world’s richest people can make things happen in politics.
If you’re asking because Musk supporting right wing politics is well known: yeah but see above. AfD is scary shit.
