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.

Musk needs to die. He's the single most dangerous person on the planet, moreso than Trump himself or even Putin.

I hope some brave schmuck close to him is prepared to sacrifice everything. I would do it myself if there was any realistic chance of success.

And before this disappears due to "advocating violence" - he and his ilk don't just advocate violence but actually visit it upon us, on a daily basis. Fuck off with your righteousness. Tyrants should never be suffered.

I'm still hoping for him to OD on ketamine.

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 4 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (3 children)

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.

By itself sure, but add a hot tub and boom!

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

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.

Chandler from friends tried harder than you then friend

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

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

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.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

He apparently takes massive amounts of the stuff at parties.

[–] punkisundead@slrpnk.net 3 points 20 hours ago

He is like the prime goal for any Luigi out there.
