“We have the freedom of speech in Europe and in Germany,” said Scholz.
“Everyone can say what he wants, even if he is a billionaire. And what we do not accept is if this is supporting extreme-right positions.”
For his part, Musk dismissed the criticism of his gesture as a “tired” attack.
“Shame on Oaf Schitz,” he said on his own platform X.

German Chancellor Herr Olaf Scholz must be looking out for his National Socialist Workingmen's Party (Nazi) peers.
The extreme left of course.
Obviously.
The Fourth Reich—You can say whatever you want unless the Fuhrer does not like it.
Then you are a dangerous extremist.
Freedom of speech, unless you say something we don’t like. There was freedom of speech in the soviet union as long as you were saying how wonderful stalin was.

Well gee...
I thought the Germans said “never again” when Hitler died.
They didn’t mean it?
First they came for the Holocaust deniers......
Freedom of speech, unless you say something we don’t like. There was freedom of speech in the soviet union as long as you were saying how wonderful stalin was.
And if you were at a Stalin speech, you’d better not be the first one to stop clapping.
What is “extreme Right”? Provide a detailed description including positions on various issues.
Who gets the oh so wonderful power to determine what is “extreme Right” and thus, to censor others?
Most people are way too conformist

The really BIG problem is the elites there are extremely controlling and even more arrogant. They really do think they know best - about everything - and everybody else should just do what they say. They think this of foreigners yes, but they think this even more about the average people in their own country. Absolutely nothing ever shakes them from this smug arrogance. They can fail a million times in a row. Their leadership can lead to utter catastrophe for themselves and everybody else. They can even destroy their own economy (Gaia Worship) which they are in the process of doing and their own country which they are in the process of doing (mass immigration of middle eastern muslim males), and it never even dents their self belief. They still think they just know it all and everybody else should shut up and obey.
Because the Nazis held "referendums" in which the government clearly advocated one thing and there was no free press and no opposition allowed, thus these "referendums" always passed, the elites in Germany have concluded that it is the common public which is dangerous and can't be trusted!
Really!
You could point out to them that no, Nazism was far more popular among the professional class. College profs for example were extremely pro Nazi. It is in fact the elites who cannot be trusted. It does not compute with them. Nothing ever dents the German elites' self belief.
That means I am for maximum individual freedom and against government power.
I am especially against centralized power.
I am against foreign wars.
That's right wing. They then try to tell me that the Nazis were to which I respond "No....YOU just claim they're on the right because you don't really have much of a political right in this country. You're just differentiating between various flavors of LEFTISTS which the National SOCIALISTS most definitely were. They were for the state. The individual counted for nothing with them. They were for centralized power and were bitterly opposed to states' rights. They believed in concentrating power in as few hands as possible. These are all classic LEFTIST positions.
As you no doubt know, they cannot grasp this. It simply does not compute. The Left are the "good" guys in their minds and the Right are the "bad" guys. No matter what.
... taking his cues (or only following orders) from his Davos colleagues.
Ya, ju can speak freely… as long as ve approve vat ju say!
Anyone right of Trotsky is “far right” to the German government. When I lived there Merkel threw out an election result she didn’t like and called a “do over” until she got an obedient little Muslim loving commie installed. The world wars were recoverable. Merkel’s ‘revolution’ has truly destroyed Germany where it can not recover. The turd world is breeding more and more turds and even as the Germans get more and more fed up the turd grows bigger and bigger.
Germany gave the world communism, Nazism, Prussian bureaucracy. Three of the worst things that have ever been inflicted on people everywhere.
How did Nazis (loved abortion, government takeover of industries, no friend of the Jews, etc) become known as “far right”? What was right wing about them?
Ja Wohl Mein Fuhrer!
