At the end of the day, Elon Musk took Twitter and turned it into X. The passage of time has partially vindicated those who thought Musk would pave the way for freedom of expression. Although Elon Musk’s X also activates censorship mechanisms on a few issues such as the Israel-Palestine issue, in general X has indeed become a platform with less censorship than Twitter. As a matter of fact, it is thought that this freedom that Elon Musk provided in X played a key role in Donald Trump’s victory in the elections.
However, it seems that time will prove those who look at this agreement with concern right. Because the sphere of influence that Elon Musk has created for himself by using X is not limited to the USA. Recently, Musk has started to interfere in the internal affairs of states from all over the world, from Venezuela to Romania, from the United Kingdom to Brazil.. Moreover, it looks like it won’t stop here either. Because now he has his sights set on Germany.
Elon Musk Is Trying to Bring the Far-Right AfD Party to Power in Germany

Venezuelan President Nicolas during the election process Maduro’s secretary Edmundo Gonzalez’e detek poison MuskWhen Maduro won the election with a close result of 51 percent, this time he tried to organize the opponents of Maduro and take them to the streets.

As you can guess, Elon Musk’s involvement in the elections in this way It was not well received in Germany. As a matter of fact, the German press has been talking about Elon Musk’s interference in the country’s internal affairs lately. This situation, first in Venezuela and now in Germany, It shows that Musk may pose a risk to other countries in the coming period.. As a matter of fact, while Musk is currently meddling in the elections in Germany, he is also trying to direct the agenda in the United Kingdom. Musk, who is trying to create the perception that the United Kingdom has been taken over by Muslim immigrants, has been keeping a gang rape case involving immigrants in the United Kingdom on the agenda for days.
Elon Musk May Be Hiding His Economic Interests Behind Right-wing Policies
Although the AfD party comes to the fore with the definition of “extreme right wing”, when we look at the policies of AfD President Alice Weidel, who has the support of Musk, the dominant trend is right libertarianism We see that it is. This brings to light an important detail about Musk’s preferences. Although he mostly highlights issues that will support the right-wing and conservative wing in his posts on X, it can be argued that his preferences are actually guided by economic interests rather than these issues. Because Musk supports in Argentina Right libertarianism, adopted by Javier Milei, It provides ample opportunities for wealthy people with power like Elon Musk. When we look at the policies offered by Alice Weidel for Germany; We see promises such as reducing government regulations, lowering taxes, liberalizing the market, supporting cheap energy policies. These are exactly the kinds of policies that rich people with investments in this region, such as Elon Musk, would want. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the possibility that Musk may be finding and supporting people who will serve the interests of himself and Trump’s USA, rather than supporting far-right extremists just because it coincides with his own ideological stance.
Manipulating Algorithm X Could Be Decisive in Elections
Elon Musk’s interference in the internal affairs of other countries by using his influence in X is already worrying, but this issue may go to a much more dangerous point. Because By manipulating the algorithms of companies like X and Google It has been talked about for years that he can shape people’s opinions on certain issues. Google even had to defend itself in front of the US Congress several times due to these accusations. Now, X, under the management of Elon Musk, manipulates its algorithm and controls the flow of information on the platform as it wishes, which could change the course of elections in countries such as Germany and Venezuela. X’s ability to put out posts that portray the AfD in a good light in front of undecided voters in Germany and hide posts that do the opposite has the potential to significantly affect the election results. So the real question to ask now is whether Elon Musk can be trusted not to do something like this.
