The one billionaire warns of the other: Carsten Maschmeyer, investor, entrepreneur and TV face, was a guest on Sandra Maischberger’s talk show on Tuesday evening. And she wanted to know what Maschmeyer thinks about Elon Musk, super billionaire, rocket fan and Trump consultant.
“Musk is an enemy of the state, not in the terrorist sense, but he hates the state,” replied Maschmeyer. “He hates rules, he wants to abolish the state.” However, he thinks that he is de -bureaucratized in the USA, “we also need that in Germany”. Musk has the main task in the Trump government to purify the state apparatus.
Under his boss Donald Trump, many people from the tech industry apparently changed the sides and court the president or do at least no resistance. The sizes of the industry were in the front row in his swearing -in.
That’s what Carsten Maschmeyer says about Musk and Peter Thiel
What Maschmeyer means is interesting in that he has a few overlaps with the new Trump friends. In some startups in which he invested, Peter Thiel also put money. The native German is one of the founders of the “PayPal” payment app and is close to Donald Trump. At “Maischberger” he is quoted with a statement from 2009: “I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible.”
Thiel is often associated with libertarian ideas, the beliefs of which it includes that governments let the economy act without government interventions or sanctions. Individual freedom is the highest good for them as long as the rights of others are not violated. Maischberger asked her guest whether Thiel and some other people from the Tech industry want to abolish and hollow out the US democracy.
“Preferably yes,” replied Maschmeyer. “These are libertarian multi-billionaires.” He describes their way of thinking: “The stronger has all power, the weaker, the poor ones, the sick, the disabled are to blame.” The tech elite “overturned. They were very democratic, except for Peter Thiel, who supported Trump eight years ago.”
It was important to make it clear to make it clear that he is not an enemy of the state: “I am a profiteer of the state. I could not have been able to study medicine if I hadn’t received Bafög and half-orphan pension.” Sandra Maischberger obviously worried that he could now be seen as an enemy of the state in the United States. He has family there and is often in the country. According to his words, she would not recommend entering there, she said. “We’ll see,” replied Maschmeyer.
