The days between Christmas and New Year’s are a listless, limitless time. You can visit family, make your mind a sunless place with video games and TV, and eat all the leftovers from the holidays. Elon Musk, the richest man who ever lived and the father of at least 12 children, is spending this time freaking out online about visas and publishing an op-ed in a German newspaper.
Where to even begin.
In the days leading up to Christmas, a little The battle begins Among the MAGA loyalists and tech billionaires who helped Trump win the election. The problem was the H1-B visa. You see, immigrant Elon Musk thinks Americans are lazy and entitled. To help it thrive, they want to bring in more highly skilled tech workers on H1-B visas.
“A culture that venerates Corey from ‘Boy Meets World,’ or Screech over Jack and Slater in ‘Saved by the Bell,’ or ‘Stefan’ over Steve Urkel in ‘Family Matters,’ won’t make the best engineers,” DOGE co-chair Ramaswamy wrote in a tweet on December 26Most of us are so full of holiday meat that we can’t move.
The reason top tech companies hire foreign-born and first-generation engineers more often than “native” Americans isn’t an inherent American IQ deficit (a lazy and misguided explanation). A key part of this comes down to the c-word: culture. Tough questions demand tough answers and if…

Ramaswamy and Musk then spent several days battling their followers on the X, Everything app. Musk threw around Prohibitions and Complaints Happily in the days after Christmas, which I guess took its time with Path to Exile 2. sad A post the day after Christmas summary What happened in the post Dr Americans were stupid. Musk agrees to this, then deletes his contract. He said that “Hateful, unrepentant racist” Should be removed from the Republican Party.
Good luck with that.
As Musk was defending himself from trolls on the website he bought for $44 billion, the world Also learned about Adrian DittmannA man many think to be musk
Dittmann is a bluecheck x account that Masks love to protect. Dittman has the account From the year 2021And it spent a lot of that time batting for the beleaguered billionaire. The pair first appeared together on Twitter Back in 2023. they are Repeat performance During H1-B visa dustup.
Thing is, Dittman sounds and acts exactly like Elon Musk. Apparently the account exists only to inflate Musk’s ego and defend his various positions. When they are both in the same virtual space, it is impossible to tell them apart. This has led to accusations that Dittman is an alt-account of Musk, something that even The estranged billionaire’s daughter believes
It is impossible to know the truth about Dittman. It’s either Musk running an alt account and promoting himself, or it’s a weirdo who loves Musk so much that he’s creating an impression of him, modeling his behavior on Musk, and taking vacations to defend him online. The prospect is terrifying to contemplate on these strange and wandering days between Christmas and New Year.
Did you know that parliamentary elections are coming up in Germany? Musk knows. Germany’s government is in crisis and the coalition that governed it has collapsed. At the end of February, the Germans will decide the future of the country Kasturi wants that future to be one Hard-right turn.
The billionaire became embroiled in a final controversy before the New Year when he published an op-ed in the Welt am Sonntag newspaper that endorsed the AfD party. Musk said Germany was on the brink of an “economic and cultural collapse” and that the AfD was the country’s “last spark of hope”.
AfD is a party that Bumbles his way in a Nazi-related controversy Every few weeks. It would also, presumably, be good for Musk’s business interests overseas. Hence why he wrote the op-ed. Musk’s endorsement of the paper was so damning that Welt am Sonntag’s editor Resigned in protest.
It’s impossible to know if any of this will matter when Germany votes in February, but it points to Musk trying to flex his political muscle outside the United States. He first endorsed the AfD on Christmas Eve. I wonder what he will do when he finds out about the hateful, unrepentant racists in the AfD’s ranks.
The world’s richest man went into 2025 with the same energy he cultivated in 2024. While the rest of us enjoyed time with our families, finished a final draft before a viewing Nosferatu At the matinee, or catching up with old friends, Musk was fighting people on the Internet. The holidays are hard for some of us. Musk’s solution seems to be to post through this.
