The article discusses the decision by several German institutions to leave the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) following a controversial interaction between Elon Musk and Alice Weidel, the leader of Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. Musk engaged in a conversation with Weidel, which was seen by many as an endorsement or at least a normalization of her party's views, which are often criticized for being anti-immigrant and Eurosceptic. This move by German institutions, including cultural and educational bodies, reflects a broader concern about the platform's direction under Musk's leadership, particularly regarding the moderation of hate speech and misinformation. The institutions cited the need to distance themselves from a platform that appears to be increasingly tolerant of extremist views, thereby potentially undermining democratic discourse.
