Here is a list of false claims the reporter tried to push during the recent Elon Musk interview:
• Elon claimed Europe is overrun with “terrifying Muslim immigrants,” with “rape on every corner.”
➡️ False. Elon never said any of those things. He spoke about secure borders and the dangers of allowing people with values fundamentally opposed to Western principles to enter without proper integration.
• Elon portrays Europe as a “hellhole.”
➡️ False. Elon never called Europe a hellhole. He directly asked the reporter when he had ever said that, and she could not provide a quote.
• Elon believes grooming gangs and violence are “everywhere” in Britain.
➡️ False. He never made that claim.
• Elon is racist.
➡️ False again. His partner is Indian, and they have four children together. One of them was named after a famous Indian physicist. I have personally visited his companies many times and can confirm that people of all races work there. He also has friends from different racial backgrounds. He is not a racist.
• Elon is anti-Muslim.
➡️ False. Elon said he opposes rape, murder and the imposition of laws that conflict with Western values. Opposing harmful actions and extremist beliefs does not mean opposing all Muslims.
• Elon is against immigration.
➡️ False. Elon explicitly said he supports immigration, provided immigrants are honest, productive and respectful of the country they enter. He is an immigrant to the United States himself.
• Elon’s political beliefs are far-right.
➡️ False. His views are centrist. Secure borders, safe cities and sensible government spending are not extremist positions. They are common-sense policies.
• Elon is making Europe’s problems worse.
➡️ False. Elon is raising concerns about insecure borders, failed integration and threats to Western values because ignoring these problems will only make them worse. Warning people about a growing problem is not causing it. It is an attempt to address it before it becomes irreversible.
• Elon believes he has a special right to control European politics.
➡️ False. Elon never claimed any special authority. He was publicly expressing his political opinions, just as journalists, activists, politicians and public figures do every day.
• Elon is responsible for the collapse of trust in journalism on social media.
➡️ False. The media damaged its own credibility through years of biased reporting, misleading narratives. Trust in media is at an all time low.
@Coolnasenbaer Weil die Eltern dieser Kinder nicht in der Lage sind, ihren Alltag zu organisieren. Diesen Eltern noch mehr Geld zu geben, würde das Problem nicht lösen.
@AxelFlasbarth Auch vor der Verdopplung 2022 waren deutsche Unternehmen nur trotz des hohen Industriestrompreises wettbewerbsfähig. Einen anderen europäischen Ländern beträgt der aktuelle Industrie Strompreis, die Hälfte verglichen mit Deutschland. Das wirkt sich immer stärker aus.
👇unbedingt hörenswerte Gespräch von @fpiatov mit dem Wirtschaftshistoriker Werner Plumpe zu den Erfolgsfaktoren beim Aufstieg der 🇩🇪 Industrie zur Weltspitze und natürlich auch zu den völlig veränderten Rahmenbedingungen heute ist schlicht exzellent. 1/13
@lawen4cer Weil wir auf Wohnungsmarkt und Arbeitsmarkt tatsächlich die Marktwirtschaft nicht mehr wirken lassen, sondern Mindest- und Höchstpreise festgelegt haben.
