He’s trolling you.
Of course, Musk knows that AfD is a neo-Nazi party and that offering “saviors” to Germany, one of the most developed countries in the world is a path to authoritarianism.
Of course, he knows that shilling for Putin who is giggling at a press conference that nobody can touch him in his gilded bunker while he’s kidnapping children from a country he invaded is vile.
Calling a proposed government agency DOGE, after a well-known internet meme – now that’s just laughing in the face of his clueless cult followers.

See, Musk is a successful alpha male, who claims that he takes ketamine because he occasionally suffers from depression. Someone might call that a mentally ill drug user with lots of money.
Why would such a person gain any attention? In the minds of a worldwide audience made up of people who were told over and over and over again how life sucks and that the only measure of success is having piles of cash around, and money can simply buy everything else, like recreational drugs and not go to jail for it, Musk is the epitome of awesomeness. They must follow him so that some of that success will be brushed off on their lives, so they can also feel great, or at least others can feel as miserable as they do. Life coaches and business gurus, some from YouTube and some in crowded conference halls, didn’t manage to manufacture happiness and money for them, so maybe Elon will now.
Newsflash: trolls don’t care for you. They want people fuming and foaming at their mouths by starting an internet fight, and sometimes actual fights, by saying or doing inflammatory nonsense. No wonder he promised the American taxpayers that they should prepare for hardship.
This might be passive-aggressive, but people who let unelected special K users who suffer from depression to run their lives deserve everything that’s coming to them.
