Elon Musk has fired back at German legacy media magazine Der Spiegel after it labelled him “public enemy No. 2” and accused him of collaborating with Donald Trump to undermine ‘liberal democracy’.

The magazine’s article, featuring a provocative cover with Musk’s face merging with Trump’s, claimed the tech mogul has aligned himself with the political right and become a “threat to democracy”, drawing parallels to historical figures like Adolf Hitler.

In response, Musk, speaking at a town hall in Pennsylvania, dismissed the accusations, affirming his commitment to democracy and the U.S. Constitution.

“I’m pro-democracy. I’m literally trying to uphold the Constitution and ensure we have a free and fair election,” he said, reacting with surprise to the intensity of the criticism, particularly from leftist commentators. Musk also announced plans to increase his security in light of the accusations.

A vocal advocate of free speech, Musk has expressed concern about rising censorship in the U.S. and has thrown his support behind Trump, following an assassination attempt on the former president.

Trump, in turn, has promised to appoint Musk to lead a government efficiency commission should he regain the presidency.

  1. They’re literally putting your life in danger Elon. Don’t even bother arguing, they can’t be reached. Just buy them out and fire everybody 👍

    • I often asked myself why certain people flock into certain professions.
      With media people is is clearly the ones with personality disorders like Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD), Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), and Paranoid Personality Disorder (PPD). Projection can be a hallmark of all three, as individuals may perceive threats, malicious intentions, competition, criticism, from others, when in reality, these feelings stem from their own anxieties or insecurities, which emanate in anger. And we are not even talking about a myriad of other mental health conditions.
      Imagine working in the media field as such a person. You’d go crazy. And that is what may of these people are. They’d need therapy.
