In the post shared by Musk, the account lamented the presence of humanitarian groups in the Mediterranean Sea that rescue migrants from distressed vessels.

“These NGOs are subsidized by the German government,” the account posted. “Let’s hope AfD wins the elections to stop this European suicide.”

    Has Musk forgotten that without government subsidies there wouldn’t have been a Tesla today? Fucking hypocrite! Socialism for the rich and capitalism for the poor.

      Seriously, I want my fucking tax dollars back with the same returns he’s made on those dollars. Welfare removed shitting on the poor.

      Also it seems he never ever wants Tesla or any of his other companies getting any kind of warm treatment from any German Federal or State regulatory or licensing body. Well actually probably most of EU, given his behaviour towards Germany. After Germany treated him completely normally and business like and actually at parts some what welcoming with his business. Not their fault, if he can’t comprehend the concept of EU is not USA. Things don’t work the same.

      He also absolutely will not need that good will… Given that his Tesla imports to Europe from the Shanghai factory along with all Chinese EV imports are about to get dunked with extra tariffs soon over Chinese government subsidies to “level the playing field”. It ain’t official yet, but the grumbling from EU Commission is pretty hefty to that direction.
