AfD is also Putin’s favorite and has many vocal Russian sympathizers in the party. Musk’s reach across global media is quite astounding and combined with his astronomical wealth, it’s something we in Europe are growing extremely fearful of. Europe is being sandwiched between two superpowers that by next year will be (for all intents and purposes) on the same side. Europe will be forced to back down in Ukraine, and Europe will be heavily encouraged to start buying Russian gas again and to play nice with our Russian masters. Notably Musk’s connections to both the Saudis and Russia are deeply suspect, and a push to favor fossil fuels again is contrary to his previous goals with Tesla. I have no idea as to what changed his mind.
