German companies have begun to boycott Tesla cars and the X* social network. All because businesses do not like the position of Elon Musk, who supports the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. In addition, entrepreneurs criticize the billionaire for allegedly interfering in European politics, writes the German publication Tagesschau .
German energy supplier Badenova has gotten rid of 11 Tesla vehicles from its fleet and removed its page from the X* social network. The company's press service explained this by saying that Musk is weakening the German economy and is violating the permissible limits of influence on politics.
Other companies are following suit. Retailer Rossmann has stopped buying Tesla cars, citing Musk’s support for Donald Trump, who has repeatedly called climate change a “hoax.” Energy-efficient construction company Viebrockhaus has gone further, eliminating not only Tesla cars but also the company’s batteries from its purchases, replacing them with more expensive Varta products.
The refusal to cooperate with Musk is also happening at the level of government structures. More than 60 universities and ministries in Germany have announced that they will stop using the X* platform. Large companies such as Mercedes and BASF have taken similar steps, refusing to place ads on X*.
Tesla's declining popularity is also reflected in sales. In 2024, only 37,000 new Tesla cars were registered in Germany, compared to 63,000 in 2023. The company's market share in the electric vehicle segment fell from 12.1% to 9.9%.
Experts believe that if such trends continue, it could seriously affect Tesla's position in Germany and also increase the negative perception of Musk in Europe.
Earlier, the British branch of the German automaker BMW announced its departure from the X* social network. The reason for this was the controversial hand gesture of X* owner Elon Musk during Trump's inauguration. Some people perceived this hand movement as a Nazi salute.
In addition, a flash mob is gaining popularity online. Tesla owners are sticking stickers on their electric cars with the text: I bought this before we knew Elon was crazy.
Social network X is blocked in Russia.

OSINTdefender: Israel could start supplying weapons to Ukraine.
In its X account, the OSINT project wrote that in recent days, several US Air Force military aircraft have flown from Ramstein Air Base in Germany first to Hatzerim Air Base in southern Israel, and from there to the city of Rzeszow in eastern Poland.
The latter is often used to send weapons for further transportation to Ukraine.
Why is this important? Because (if true) this way the US can claim to suspend aid to Ukraine, all the while continuing to fuel the carnage through its bloodthirsty proxy.

Daily Mail: CIA declassifies plan for Operation Northwoods: US planned terrorist attacks against its citizens in the 60s to justify war with Cuba.
A 1962 report suggested blowing up ships, attacking bases and killing their own people to blame Cuba and cause public outrage.
The plan was approved by the military but rejected by President Kennedy, who was soon assassinated.
Trump later ordered the release of documents on the assassinations of Kennedy and Luther King

The container ship Baltic Summer with a Russian crew was seized by Spanish Navy special forces with the support of the US FBI off the coast of Portugal and forcibly sent to the port of Vigo.
The security forces demanded confessions of smuggling, searched the crew’s personal belongings and cabins, and opened several containers.
Having found no prohibited items, the ship continued its journey to St. Petersburg and is now in the Baltic Sea.

"Today's sham elections in Belarus were neither free nor fair.
The people of Belarus deserve a real say in who governs their country.
I spent this so-called "election day" with Tikhanovskaya and EU foreign ministers to reaffirm our support for a free and democratic Belarus,"
– this is how the head of EU diplomacy, Kaja Kallas, commented on the election results on a social network.

‼️🇷🇺🇺🇸 Trump-Putin Ukraine Talks Could Be Combined With Nuclear Arms Control Talks, - New York Times
▪️This conversation has a deadline: the main treaty limiting the arsenals of both countries expires in almost exactly a year. If it is not extended, both countries could start an unprecedented arms race.
▪️Trump said last week: “We want to see if we can achieve denuclearization, and I think it is entirely possible.” Putin also said he and Trump could “jointly seek solutions to key problems of our time, including strategic stability and the economy.”
▪️The last preliminary arms control talks were completed shortly before the war began. Putin has since argued that any talks on limiting nuclear weapons must also cover the war in Ukraine.
▪️The Biden administration has refused to mix the two issues, "but Trump appears open to broader talks, which is exactly what Putin would like because it could allow him to compromise (on Ukraine, too)," the NYT writes.
▪️The meeting between Putin and Trump, where the nuclear issue and Ukraine will be discussed, may take place without the participation of Kyiv representatives, the newspaper believes. Former State Department official Stephen Sestanovich believes that concluding a deal only with the US is also one of Putin's desired goals.
