Elon Musk Endorses “far-right” AFD, “a group with ties to neo-Nazis whose youth wing has been classified as “confirmed extremist” by German domestic intelligence.”
The New York Times freaking out about Musk supporting the AFD.

“Musk Expresses Support for Far-Right Party in Germany’s Election” – The New York Times
It was not the first online intervention by Elon Musk, the entrepreneur and adviser to Donald Trump, on behalf of once-fringe anti-immigrant parties in Europe.
lon Musk, the world’s richest man and a close adviser to President-elect Donald J. Trump, on Friday endorsed Germany’s far-right party, a group with ties to neo-Nazis whose youth wing has been classified as “confirmed extremist” by German domestic intelligence.
“Only the AfD can save Germany,” Mr. Musk posted to X, referring to the anti-immigrant party, the Alternative for Germany, by its German initials.
In doing so, he is wading into German politics at a moment of turmoil, and at the very same time that he has wielded his influence in Washington to help blow up a bipartisan spending deal that was meant to avoid a government shutdown over Christmas. The German government recently collapsed, leading to early elections planned for next year.
Mr. Musk’s post was in response to an English-language video by a 24-year-old German far-right influencer, Naomi Seibt. She harshly criticized Friedrich Merz, whom polls show leading the race, for dismissing a rival’s suggestion that Germany look to Mr. Musk and another firebrand, President Javier Milei of Argentina, for ideas about reforming the country.
Ms. Seibt also criticized Mr. Merz for ruling out joining any coalition with the AfD. The ethnonationalist and Islamophobic message of the once-fringe party has proved to be a strong vote-getter at the local level, especially in the more economically disadvantaged former East Germany.
Mr. Musk’s post, which had more than 25 million views in roughly 10 hours, comes as Germany begins what promises to be an aggressive election campaign. The country will have an early election on Feb. 23 after Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s three-party coalition collapsed in November.
Like all the mainstream German parties, Mr. Merz’s center-right Christian Democratic Union has ruled out working with the AfD, which Mr. Scholz and others have called a threat to German democracy.
News that members of the AfD attended a secret meeting with the Austrian extreme-right provocateur Martin Sellner, who has admitted to once being a member of a neo-Nazi group and has called for deporting migrants en masse, led to large protests early this year. Then, starting in May, a leading light of the party was twice given a hefty fine for using Nazi-era slogans during campaign stops.
Last month in the eastern state of Saxony, police arrested eight people suspected of being members of what they called a right-wing extremist terrorist organization, which they said had been plotting to overthrow the government. Three of the eight were AfD members; one was an elected local official.
The online endorsement from Mr. Musk garnered a quick response from Alice Weidel, the AfD’s top candidate. “Yes! You are perfectly right,” she posted just an hour after Mr. Musk’s post went up.
Mr. Musk has long made heavy use of X, which he bought in 2022, to express his views on politics in the United States and abroad.
In Britain, he has thrown his weight behind another insurgent, anti-immigrant party, Reform U.K., which is led by the longtime political disrupter Nigel Farage. He met on Monday with Mr. Farage and the party’s new treasurer, Nick Candy, at Mr. Trump’s Florida estate, Mar-a-Lago, to discuss the possibility of a donation by Mr. Musk to Reform U.K.
Mr. Musk has yet to write Mr. Farage a check, and lawmakers in Britain are calling on the government to tighten campaign-finance laws to restrict foreign donations. But he has left little doubt of his endorsement.
When Mr. Farage posted a photo of himself with Mr. Candy and Mr. Musk posing in front of a portrait of a younger Mr. Trump, along with the line “Britain needs Reform,” Mr. Musk replied, “Absolutely.”
He also has picked repeated fights online with Britain’s Labour government, accusing it of using police-state tactics in going after people who used his X platform to spread misinformation after anti-immigrant riots broke out across Britain last summer, following a mass stabbing at a dance studio.
Mr. Musk claimed that “civil war” was inevitable in Britain. After Prime Minister Keir Starmer activated an emergency plan to relieve pressure on overcrowded jails, under which defendants can be held longer in cells until space opens in prisons, Mr. Musk posted, “The U.K. is turning into a police state.”
In Germany, Christian Lindner, the leader of the small, pro-business Free Democratic Party, suggested this month that the country should look toward Mr. Musk and Mr. Milei when thinking about disruption and reform.
In her crudely edited video message on X, Ms. Seibt criticized Mr. Merz’s opposition to that idea as well as his repeated vow not to work with the AfD.
The AfD is polling at 19 percent, and its leaders appeared ready to make the most of the post, apparently hoping that it could help attract more voters and serve as a jumping-off point for communications with the Trump White House. …

Brandy Muttbeanerz’ (aka “Martinezpolitix”) favorite British amateur historian “TIK” aka “Unshaven Wart with Hanging Eyelid” completely eaten up by the liberal mind virus, presents more of his unbelievably curiously confused conclusions. In the meantime, “TIK” has added six-language soundtracks to his “educational videos” in order to expand his “reach”. Entertaining comedy is guaranteed, get out the popcorn bag.

He says humans (mammals) are not animals, and the mind is independent of race and physical appearance. He also says he does not live at the expense of others (except for the topic of “German Nazi history”, as evidenced by his smart-alecky IKEA shelf, and the donations of his stupid fans, his main source of income, which authorizes him to call himself a “Libertarian” or “Free Market Entrepreneur”).
He once again quotes his great role model, the linguistically and intellectually poorly elaborated fake historian (“doctor” of sociology) and self-proclaimed multimillionaire “I love Capitalism” Zitelmann, who is also influenced by “institutes” such as Mises and Rand Cooperation, or people like Dennis Prager, one of those disinformants who spread roughly the same historically incorrect BS to pander to the internationalists/globalists.

Their target group can be identified as skeptics who are still in the first stage of the redpilling process and have only just woken up, in order to divert them back onto the path of unrestrained selfishness and consumerism. The replacement migration in its devastating effects practically does not exist as a factor of reality for such people. After all, anyone with enough money can save themselves from it.
Zitelmann, how could it be otherwise, is also a great admirer of the freakish “friend of Israel” Milei. Nationalism, or even ethnonationalism, is virtually the worst enemy of these people, and the Anglo-American system, McDonaldization, is unspokenly regarded as correspondingly untouchable and unquestionably sacrosanct.
This is also known as cherry-picking. For example, Zitelmann cites Hitler’s or Göring’s four-year plan, which rather served the war economy, as “proof” that he would have imitated Stalin’s five-year plan, i.e. ultimately taken the path to communism.
In contrast to National Socialism, capitalism, i.e. what we falsely call “democracy” today, is therefore a form of voluntary and self-chosen participation. Presumably he also wants to persuade us that the incessant mass flooding of our countries with millions of Thirdworlders by globalism, as he aspires to and favors it, was decided by the people themselves, and not by unscrupulous industrialists who are forever using the lying argument of the “shortage of skilled workers”.

Zitelmann says it is progress that there are now more millionaires and billionaires in China and encourages: “Make an effort, anyone can get rich!” Which is, of course, total nonsense. That would be inflationism and demonetization. If everyone were rich, everyone would be just as poor. Rich people are rich simply because there are poor people, indeed there have to be. The poverty of the many at the bottom causes the wealth of the few at the top of the wealth pyramid.
There is only a very thin layer of varnish in between, what we once called the “middle class”. The most fleeced and highest-paying social class. Big business can move abroad at any time and set up its factories there. Which it has been doing for a long time in multinational conglomerates. This is called capital flight and tax evasion. Capitalism is therefore a form of society of unavoidable inequality.
And just as the mountain needs the valley to be visible, just as the day needs the night, just as health needs sickness, so capitalism inevitably generates communism, because it is not its opposite, but its component, just as death is built into life. Everything carries its opposite and is inseparable from it (Yin & Yang). That is why capitalism, e.g. in the form of black markets, will never die out where communism prevails, and communism will never die out where capitalism prevails. They are two sides of the same worthless coin.
Where there is a lot of artificial light (e.g. through advertising as on Broadway), there must inevitably be just as much shadow. The so-called “Third Way” was the attempt to abolish the (apparent) contradictions, e.g. by banning usury and compound interest, by nationalizing the “central banks” (see also Federal Reserve, The Big Three), which through their dubious machinations and systematic appropriation of the people’s hard-earned assets were in any case the main cause of misery and world economic crises, through economic autarky from internationalized trade and money flows.
Incidentally, Gilad Azmon argues, not entirely implausibly, that in Israel, for example, this pyramid has always been upside down. By which he means that the poor or hard workers are in the minority there, while the rich are in the majority. At least Israel, in contrast to Western industrialized countries, has an astonishingly high birth rate, the highest among OECD countries.
P.S. How fortunate that TIK does not suffer from hubris, self-misjudgement and self-overestimation, and that millions of educated Nazi brains, who went to war for nothing, were far too stupid to understand what only TIK’s brain understands. The world has simply not yet understood what a genius he is. That is his unspoken message to all the stupid ones.

It should also be added that Zitelmann fails to mention that the so-called “Weimar Republic” was, of course, a typically capitalist society. The “market” naturally also included child prostitutes and all kinds of “freely available” perversions. In the Weimar Republic, the so-called “democracy”, more people took their own lives every year than ever before.
It was a totally degenerate state with characteristically weak politicians, just like we have today. And it was not for nothing that the so-called Federal Republic (fragmented into federal states, never to form a unity again), a state formed according to Anglo-American specifications, adopted the state flag of the Weimar Republic and not that of the German Empire.
This is the capitalist system that Zitelmann & Co are touting as a panacea. Just like the migrant workers in China. Compare this with Hitler’s Germany. Of course, in Zitelmann’s “welfare state” democracy, the poorest people today have more than they did back then due to technological developments, but this is still not enough to live or die on.
They are and remain consumers of cheap products and mass-produced goods, not of quality. It is more worthwhile to remain unemployed than to have to take on three jobs at the same time in order to make ends meet, especially in the low-wage segment. Of course, high finance parasitizes less on those who own nothing at all than on the hard-working middle class.

What Zitelmann also deliberately fails to mention (unless he really is as stupid as he appears to be) is that Anglo-American “capitalism” (and this is not a market economy in the proper sense of the word, but money multiplication) is a system of speculation. What is there in America, apart from Silicon Valley, that deserves to be called export-ready quality a la “Made in Germany” and is in demand all over the world? Nothing except the software industry!

Storl (last book in English “Far out in America”), who presents himself as an esoteric savior, is nothing more than a marketer of platitudes. The man presents himself as Germanic, but in reality he is an Americanized fraud. Activate auto-subs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KE-T4ouxogw
Everything that comes from the west is sacred (although the sun sets in the west). Storl (last book in English “Far out in America”), who presents himself as a kind of esoteric savior (he distances himself from any esoterizism!), is nothing more than a marketer of platitudes. The man presents himself as Germanic, but in reality he is an Americanized fraud. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KE-T4ouxogw
He sells the Germans their own fairy tales “in a new context”. A hundred years ago, he would have been called a “snake oil seller”. The American “system of thought” (or what that is supposed to represent) is not suitable as a revolutionary tool to save the white race, but is completely useless and counterproductive. Everyone senses that.
The recipe works because the brainwashed Germans have seen America as some kind of unattainable paradise for 80 years. Anyone who has spent a while in America is virtually canonized. Since America is – no, must be! – a sheer wonderland, it doesn’t matter if the “American” is German by birth. On the contrary: only that sanctifies him. For example, former NASA employees like Jesco von Puttkamer and many more. They are kind of substitute saints.
