It’s quite ironic to see people suddenly worried about “foreign influence” when Elon Musk makes a few comments. For years, global billionaires have openly influenced German politics – and nobody cared.

• Bill Gates was a regular guest on German public TV, treated almost like a political authority.
• George Soros openly called to support the Green Party, saying CDU was not “radical” enough.
• NGOs and media campaigns funded by global billionaires have pushed one political agenda in Germany for decades.

Back then, no one cried about “foreign interference” – probably because it supported the “right” side of the spectrum.

And here’s the real hypocrisy: German media themselves loudly interfere in US elections. They demonize Trump 24/7, glorify Democrats, and even celebrated Harris as the “certain winner” before Americans had even voted. That’s not just reporting, that’s campaigning.

So let’s be honest: the outrage about Musk is not about democracy. It’s about controlling the narrative. Influence is tolerated when it serves the establishment, but suddenly scandalous when it challenges them. That’s the definition of hypocrisy.
