Don't your police regularly jail people for non-violent speech? I don't see Musk moving to Germany.

  If by non-violent speech you mean roman salutes or nazi quotes, yes.

    It is more or less enough to in public say why you don't support Likud nowadays to be arrested in Germany.

  They jail people for antisemitic and nazi speech, if for you this is "non-violent", I have a history lesson on 1939-1945 to show you.

    I saw a video of a German activist being hauled off by the police for giving a seminar about censorship the other day. Your country controls speech through force. Like I said, it's highly unlikely Musk would move anything to your country.

        Tesla does not operate a social media platform.

      You certainly did not see an activist hauled off by the police for giving a seminar about censorship the other day.

      So ... can you link that outrageous video, that we can judge whether it really was the way you said it was?

    Marie-Thérèse Kaiser. Apparently it is illegal to state that more Afghan refugees in Germany lead to more rapes in Germany. https://freespeechunion.org/young-afd-politician-convicted-for-publishing-gang-rape-statistics-in-connection-with-afghan-migration/ https://freespeechunion.org/young-afd-politician-convicted-f... Björn Höcke. Apparently the slogan "Alles für Deutschland" (Everything for Germany) is strictly verboten because a Nazi organization used it. I didn't know that before the Höcke verdict and I doubt most Germans did. I also very much doubt that it was in any way used as a Nazi reference. Germany's penal code does ban certain non-specified symbols -- which makes a lot sense based on Germany's recent history. Unfortunately, the law is applied extremely selectively and in quite creative ways for opinions that some people just don't like. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strafgesetzbuch_section_86a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strafgesetzbuch_section_86a Why does Germany pretend Die Linke (The Left -- the renamed East German Communist Party) is a perfectly normal and legal party and at the same time that the perfectly normal and legal (and not very much on the right) party AfD is quasi-Nazi?
