(…) Plans for online Musk-Weidel meeting
The spokesman for the leader of the AfD, Alice Weidel, said concrete plans were underway for an online meeting between her and Musk.
That came after Musk himself suggested a meeting between the two via X’s Spaces chat feature. “Wait until Alice and I do an X Spaces conversation. They will lose their minds,” he posted. (…)
“Elon Musk is equipped with billions and unbridled communication power,” Habeck wrote on X. “His call for the AfD is systematic: He wants to weaken Europe. Power must be limited: no business model must destroy our democracy. Europe must now use its power consistently.”
Concerns are also growing in the UK as Musk takes an increasingly close interest in Britain’s political scene, aligning himself with hard-right lawmaker Nigel Farage.
Musk has busied himself with taking aim at the UK’s center-left Labour government, launching a series of blistering comments against British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
The ‘success’ has also been established in Germany when he made it available on his Xitter-account.

Elon wouldn’t visit Germany as long as he might face consequences and I don’t think the US would extradite him.
That would be the entire EU, not just Germany. That would make his life certainly more difficult so I sincerely hope Germans push for the consequences.
How about waiting until he visits Germany and then starting the prosecution and promptly incarceration of this foreign criminal?
Let’s not wait until trump starts his term, though. I don’t trust trump not to invoke the USA’s ICC contingency plan on the whole of the EU if his master of “efficiency” gets arrested here.
I see. Thanks.
