Elon Musk's Reaction to German Defense's Social Media Strategy

In a recent development, Elon Musk, the billionaire entrepreneur, has publicly criticized the German Ministry of Defense and its armed forces for their decision to cease posting on his social media platform, X. This move comes as the ministry and the army find it increasingly challenging to engage in factual exchanges on the platform, prompting their migration to Meta Platforms Inc.'s WhatsApp and Instagram.

Musk, known for his outspoken nature, did not hold back, stating, "They're going where lies are not challenged," in a post on X. This comment underscores the ongoing tension between Musk and the German government, further highlighted by Musk's previous endorsements of the far-right political party, Alternative for Germany (AfD), urging German citizens to support them.
