And FYI Marine Le Pen has just been sentenced to a (surprisingly low) fine and a year wearing an electronic tag a few days ago because of her mutiple European embezzlement.

And guess what, judges also sentenced her to an interdiction to present herself to any elections, but said sentence ends before actual French presidential elections in 2027. I’m so mad at this.

Isnt she banned from participating in the next election ?

Yeah they’re turning their attention on the rest of us now the US has folded. Australia is under assault by Seppo froth politics, their fucking CPAC and their funding.

Fuck American voters and their selfishness. All because they can’t get off their arses and do their national duty.

Christ, home many elections does she have to lose before she takes a hint?

For context: Elon Musk spent almost 300 million Dollars to help Trump win in the US. The largest party in Germany received about 5 million dollars in large donations for the last election. I assume it looks similar in France. This is NOTHING for Musk. If he wants to buy the election, he can - easily.

It’s time for the EU to limit the amount individuals can donate to political causes. And to make any donations from companies illegal. 10k per person, per year. Who has this much money to spare anyway? If you have more money lying around that you don’t need, how about donating to charity instead?

The richest man on Earth buying influence in other countries while calling it free speech was always going to end badly. If any other billionaire tried steering US elections from abroad, the outrage would be deafening. Funny how principles become optional when your favorite oligarch is involved.

Revoke the license for Starlink in France and Germany and put a 200% import tax on Tesla. Foreign election interference is illegal.

Why does this sound so familiar to me?

US billionaire Elon Musk has reiterated his call to vote for the AfD in the Bundestag election. In an opinion piece for Welt am Sonntag, Musk writes that Alternative for Germany (AfD) is the last glimmer of hope for this country.

Translated from German article - Deutschlandfunk - Elon Musk bezeichnet AfD als „der letzte Funke Hoffnung“ für Deutschland

Musk is so predictably boring. It stopped being funny a long, long time ago.

Can someone get grok to build a guillotine for Elmo? That’d be great.

Hopefully JD Vance throws his weight behind her as well. Then she’s guaranteed to lose

An American calling Le Pen “France’s last hope” might cause some Le Pen supporters to reconsider
