It was last fall when Brits rioted after three girls under the age of 10 were stabbed to death at a Taylor Swift-themed dance camp. The United Kingdom accused Elon Musk of inciting unrest with his posts about X and even threatened to extradite and arrest him. Most of Europe seems to want Musk and X cancelled.
On the cover of the new issue of Der Spiegel, Germany’s Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck of the Green Party tells Musk to keep his hands off German democracy.
“Fairly the hands of our democracy, Mr. Musk.”

Musk, who has openly supported the “far-right” and “anti-immigrant” Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, responded.
Habeck is a traitor to the German people.

That is absolutely true.

Jurgen Nauditt is fed up with Musk exercising his freedom of expression and accuses him of trying to “destroy Europe for his own benefit.” We are not sure how the owner of X would benefit if he “destroyed” Europe.
After criticizing the British government 23 times in just one hour, Elon Musk attacks Germany again.
This has nothing to do with freedom of expression, he wants to destroy Europe.He wants to destroy Europe for his own benefit. pic.twitter.com/7EaFz4qS8k

Musk has been criticizing the British government for covering up the horrific grooming gang scandal for fear of being seen as racist. Now he is “attacking” Germany by calling Habeck a traitor. It has nothing to do with freedom of expression; He wants to destroy Europe.
It seems that Europe is already doing a good job of destroying itself…

Are you OK? You sound a little hysterical.

Europe is almost at the point of no return. He is trying to save him.

Elon is stating hard truths that are offensive to leftist, conscious and globalist supporters and sympathizers. Your willingness to state these things openly and unapologetically may well turn the tide and save Western civilization from itself.

To be fair, Jurgen, and I say this as a person of German descent, I don’t think Germans can really shout “destruction of Europe” in response to criticism.
—Jordan Dittloff (@Dittloff4Senate) January 4, 2025
Elon Musk is late to the party. Mark Steyn over 20 years ago and, more recently, Douglas Murray wrote several books, essays and public speeches on this very topic. I’m sure other European authors have written about it too.

Europe is destroying itself. Elon is simply pointing it out.
—Hans Mahncke (@HansMahncke) January 4, 2025
Why would I want that? He is simply criticizing them for destroying their own countries, all in the name of power and at enormous cost to the people.

Thanks for admitting you don’t have freedom of speech there!

Jürgen, Musk is not trying to destroy Europe, he is pointing out the failures that the elites do not want to address. When the system fails people, someone needs to call it out, and Musk is doing just that.

Perhaps it is because the UK and EU give @elonmusk so much ammunition…
You are in a descending period.
And you’re perfectly happy handling the decline.

What does the richest man in the world have to benefit from the “destruction” of Europe?
– Matt for Liberty (@mattforliberty) January 4, 2025
The elites of the West have had their way for so long that the act of being publicly challenged is disturbing and a new experience.
—Nick Buckley MBE (@NickBuckleyMBE) January 4, 2025
Europe really needs to save itself. The crackdown on free speech, including prosecution in Scotland just for “criticizing immigrants”, is appalling. Musk would benefit from a strong Europe.
Maybe Europe needs to be European again.

That sounds racist.
Freedom of speech allows you to express your thoughts openly. I understand that this concept may seem strange in the European Union, the current version of the USSR.
