German institutions depart X, a day after Musk's Weidel talk

  • More than 60 German and Austrian academic organizations say they will leave the messaging platform X owned by Elon Musk. The German government has also voiced fears that the platform is warping political discourse.

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.
