In an opinion essay he wrote for German newspaper Welt am Sonntag, Musk argued that his “significant investments” in Germany — there’s a Tesla gigafactory outside Berlin — give him the right to opine about Europe’s largest economy.
But it seems that Musk gets much of his information about Germany from X, which critics say increasingly resembles a far-right echo chamber. Musk, for instance, has reposted videos of Naomi Seibt, a right-wing influencer known for her closeness to the AfD and denial of climate change caused by humans, who German media have dubbed the “anti-Greta,” in reference to Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg. (In one video reposted by Musk, she described the German Greens’ environmental policies as “eco-socialist national suicide.”)
In the past, Musk has seemed to struggle to try to understand German politics.
“Why is there such a negative reaction from some about AfD?” Musk wrote on his X platform in June. “They keep saying ‘far right,’ but the policies of AfD that I’ve read about don’t sound extremist. Maybe I’m missing something.”
While Musk has since embraced the AfD, Germany’s federal domestic intelligence agency continues to surveil the party, classifying it as a suspected extremist organization.
