Summary
Over 60 German and Austrian universities and research institutions announced their exit from Elon Musk’s X (formerly Twitter), citing the platform’s promotion of right-wing populist content and its incompatibility with democratic and scientific values.
This follows Germany’s Federal Court of Justice and trade unions leaving the platform.
The German government is also debating a withdrawal, expressing concerns over X’s polarizing effect on political discourse.
The departure comes after Musk’s public support for Germany’s far-right AfD party and a live talk with its leader Alice Weidel ahead of upcoming elections.
What the hell took them so fucking long. Anyone still using Xitter is a fascist enabler.
Well ain’t that a sweeping generalization. Almost like it can’t possibly be true…
Like: Vacation in SA = Support butchering of Journalists.
It’s really that easy. Give money to evil people (on purpose knowingly)… support evil shit.
Consumersnhave some responsibility too. Everything else is deflection and: Mimimimi
Like Nestle… avoid their products, kill the company. “But I like Nesquick”… Alright, eat Nesquick kill some Chocolate Framers for it, but be aware what you do.
Are you really using the same arguments as big coal?
“You, the consumer, are the problem. Not us, no”, like consumers are killing the chocolate farmers. No, the people killing the chocolate farmers are killing the chocolate farmers. If you drive a car in the USA, you aren’t responsible for the 100 million tons of CO2 pumped into the atmosphere, or the millions of gallons of crude oil spilled into the ocean— companies like Exon and Shell are. You merely live in a country where automobile companies lobbied hard for cities to be built dependent on cars.
You had no say in that, just like you have no say in what produce is at your supermarket, or what baby formula, or what your kids favorite drink is going to be.
That’s like saying, “if you eat bannanas you endorse the murder and rape of south americans and the colonization of hawaii”. Shits just not true.

I always chuckle when I see this in the wild. For non-Germans: mimimi is mocking what someone said, like they are whining, for instance if they proclaim something is unfair.
Like AOC and Bernie?
Yes
