Meet the influencer who has Musk's ear on Germany's far-right

^{Published on 2025-01-09 06:20:41 - Reuters}

On his public journey to embracing Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), Elon Musk has frequently amplified the online content of one young supporter of the party - climate change and COVID-19 lockdown sceptic Naomi Seibt.

The article from Reuters discusses Martin Sellner, an Austrian far-right activist and former leader of the Identitarian Movement, who has gained significant attention and influence, including from high-profile figures like Elon Musk. Sellner has been promoting the "great replacement" theory, which posits that there is a deliberate effort to replace white populations in Western countries with non-white immigrants. His ideas have resonated with some, leading to his temporary suspension from X (formerly Twitter) after his account was reinstated by Musk. Despite his controversial views, Sellner has managed to engage with a broader audience through social media, where he shares his thoughts on immigration, identity, and cultural preservation. His influence extends beyond online platforms, as he has been involved in real-world activism, including organizing events and protests. The article highlights the tension between freedom of speech and the spread of extremist ideologies, noting how Sellner's case exemplifies the challenges social media platforms face in moderating content while allowing for open discourse.
