<<EU Commission urged to act over Elon Musk’s ‘interference’ in elections>>
I saw the headline and I'm, like, what is that interference they're moaning about. Then I started reading and of course! It's the German far right Nazi scum he's allowing to preach on ze twatterz! How dare he! 😂
@ThatCrazyDude
No, I don't think allowing them preach is what they mean — he called AfD the only hope for Germany. Still not enough to call it election interference, but endorsing a party is a far shot from not censoring them.
@m0xee everyone has an option and everyone's entitled to express it, methinks.
I don't think musk's any different than any other human being in this respect. Except Tor the Chinese and north Koreans, of course lol
@ThatCrazyDude
I'd agree with you if he was still just a businessman, but now that he is to co-lead his planned Department of Government Efficiency…
Being, effectively a state official, and endorsing a party in a foreign country — especially utilising the media he still owns as a businessman, that's… dodgy 😏
I'm not sure conflict of interest is a thing in the international law, but it's pretty damn close to it.
Besides if he's free to endorse a party, they are free to criticise him for it 🤷
@m0xee criticize him, sure. Fair game. But to call for legislative action against him is a different story.
