@GottaLaff so, the suspect who hails from Saudi, shows the ultimate loyalty to Musk, by perpetrating an act that will ramp up RW anti-Muslim rhetoric, despite the guy being Islamophobe

@GottaLaff

A fan of Elon Musk and Alex Jones.

Of course.

@GottaLaff I didn’t know he supported AfD. I guess I am not surprised sadly.

Rekated or not: they claim that they are not Nazis but if so why did they wear cornflower blue? And why does that even matter? Well: before the Anschluß in 1938 and in particular when the NSDAP was illegal in Austria (or Österreich) Nazis wore cornflower blue to let others know their association.

Anyway I don’t really know if a lone person having sympathy matters. What matters is the loss of life.

@GottaLaff Should any of us be surprised that an admirer of Elon Musk is responsible for such sick behaviour?

@GottaLaff Lets see how this works, good guy with a gun kills a bad guy CEO without a gun. 45 allegedly has two attempts on his life by right wing people. Then we see a #Musk fetish person, killing random people shopping in Germany? Something is really wrong with this picture.

@GottaLaff And (un)surpriringly, this is not at all what news outlet put forwards in their titles...

"Europe’s far right seizes on Magdeburg attack to hammer migration, Islam " -Politico
"Education alone can't prevent radicalisation, security expert says " - Euronews
"Taleb A. sentenced in 2013 for threatening of criminal offences – even before asylum application" -Der Spiegel

Reading that you would think the guy is a radical islamist migrant, not a right wing doctor arrived in germany 20y ago

@GottaLaff it looks like he was not a member of AfD anyway. From a spokesman. So I guess it is indeed a lone wolf attack. That doesn’t make the support of them by anyone less significant but it can at least suggest that it was not their doing. Doesn’t mean their behaviour is okay but it does kind of change the dynamic here. Still it’s a real tragedy. Like all violence it’s such a waste. Life is precious. The world would be better if more people appreciated that. Alas ..
