Elon Musk ensures vertebrae: AfD as a hope for Germany?

A shocking guest comment by Elon Musk in the "Welt am Sonntag" causes excitement. The billion -dollar entrepreneur described the AfD as the "last spark of hope" for Germany and called on to support the party. Alexander Filipovic, a Viennese social and media ethicist, sharply criticized this by describing the newspaper as an "stirrup holder" for Musk's anti-democratic influence. According to Filipovic, Musk's procedure is part of a larger plan: he wanted to profit through social media and political destabilization, just as he had previously done in other industries. The "world" has offered a dangerous platform for a man who actually has nothing to say in German politics, the media expert Claudia Paganini.

The explosiveness of the publication

The publication is not only a simple journalistic mistake, but raises questions about the interdependencies between business and politics. The Springer publishing house, which is behind the "world", seems to be interested in a close relationship with Musk. Musk's contributions are often characterized by extremist thoughts and conspiracy myths, which he spreads on his social network X. The influence of the media house on public discourses should not be underestimated because Musk pursues its financial interests, including the expansion of his Tesla business in Germany. Meanwhile, the CEO of Springer, Mathias Döpfner, is described as an admirer Musks and is looking for his proximity to gain advantages for the company.

How the Deutschlandfunk reported, Musk's contribution is also regarded by opinion leaders as an opportunity to discuss political and economic interests that shape, to discuss these connections. On the other hand, the point of criticism shows that Musk's statements do not contribute anything substantial to the political debate. This publication has forced the public to deal with the underlying motifs of reporting and to question the role of media in a changing political climate.

The prominence of the comment gives a questionable impression that shows the need to seriously promote critical voices and the variety of opinions, especially in view of the questionable reasoning of Musk. This discussion could influence the course for future political discourses in Germany - a topic that urgently needs to be discussed in the coming weeks.
