Suspect in German Market Attack is a Member of the Far-Right Movement Just Endorsed by Musk

Taleb Al Abdulmohsen is an anti-Islam extremist who has lived in Germany since 2006.

Taleb Al Abdulmohsen is in custody after driving his car into a Christmas market in the German city of Magdeburg Friday, killing five people, including a nine-year-old child, and injuring over 200 others.

Early reports profiled the 50-year-old Saudi Arabian immigrant as committing an act of Islamic extremism, but further research into the online profile of Taleb has revealed the exact opposite: he has lived in Germany since 2006 and harbors violent extremist anti-Islamic views. He has been a supporter the far-right AfD (Alternative for Germany) Party for years, the same party that was just endorsed by Elon Musk.

Taleb's account on X has nearly 50K followers. His recent content promotes violent conspiracy theories against the German government, suggesting the government is "Islamizing" Germany, and professing his willingness to commit murder to fight back against what he perceives as the silencing of the far-right.
