Elon Musk is a South African who lives and operates in the US. Why tf is he trying chiming in about any German electoral process?

How about Apartheid Clyde stays in his lane.

The fact that this gets media coverage like it even remotely matters is madness. Will there be media coverage of my posts on the topic, since it's suddenly world news when a private American citizen comments on what is happening in another country..

Because it does matter, motherfucker has millions of people listening to him and a worldwide social media that he controls. Even if his opinions are trash, he amplifies and spreads this garbage, and gives a platform for the scum of the earth who wouldn't have it otherwise.

Fucking Henry Ford of our age.
