Summary

Elon Musk faces backlash in Germany for using X (formerly Twitter) to amplify far-right narratives, endorse the AfD party, and insult German leaders.

Prominent organizations, universities, and public figures have abandoned X, calling it a hub for hate speech and misinformation.

German officials are debating whether to leave the platform but remain active for now, citing the need to reach users.

Critics argue Musk’s influence skews political discourse globally, as his actions challenge Europe’s political neutrality and ignite debates over regulating billionaire-controlled platforms.

    What would even be the point in staying? There are so many better options.

      In the summary it says they’re staying due to the need to reach users….like there aren other ways.
