As Simon points out in today’s Hopium, Elon Musk has called for Germans to vote for Alternative für Deutschland (AfD), the neo-Nazi party that has downplayed the Holocaust. In the upcoming elections, the AfD hopes to strengthen its hand in the Bundestag – and perhaps play a key role in the next government.

Members of the AfD spent Election Day at Mar-a-Lago and have underscored that they "hope to have a close relationship with the incoming Trump administration".

Democrat Rosa DeLauro (CT-03) has accused Elon Musk of pushing Speaker Mike Johnson to kill the initial bipartisan spending proposal that was agreed to – precisely because it would have imposed new regulations on his considerable investments in China.

Tesla’s gigafactory in Shanghai accounts for half of its worldwide car production. In addition, Chinese factories produce over 90 percent of the parts for Tesla cars. Moreover, Tesla has roughly 300 stores throughout China.
