The AI financial crash kicked back into gear in the last days of October. Global stock markets jolted, headlining financial papers. But an article by a young Indian journalist stood out in the Financial Times…
Exclusive! It said. Axel Springer CEO, Mathias Döpfner, visits Charles Kushner, US Ambassador in Paris, advocating the purchase of TikTok Europe. Döpfner and Musk share an active interest in the Alternative for Germany party; the AfD. Musk supports them, Döpfner prefers them to Die Linke.

AxelSpringer SE is a German news conglomerate. It owns the German dailies, Bild and Die Welt, some polish newspapers as well as Business Insider, Politico and the Daily Telegraph. Carole Cadwalladr worked for the Telegraph and the Observer. She broke the story on Cambridge Analytica explaining how it brought Brexit to the UK and brought Donald Trump to the US Presidency in 2015. Cambridge Analytica were the first to weaponise algorithms for elections online. SCL, the mother company deployed military PsyOps to undermine democracy, mostly in Africa. SCL wanted to expand their online democracy hacks to larger markets. Cadwalladr published a series of articles on Cambridge Analytica. This brought them to the attention of the US and the British parliaments. They shut down both SCL and Cambridge Analytica but did not jail the CEO. The problem did not go away.
Cadwalladr’s Ted Talks describe Cambridge Analytica’s “digital coups”. She tells how she was “on trial for her life” being sued by META for revealing how their dirty tricks manipulate elections. FaceBook data made Cambridge Technology so effective. Now it’s TikTok’s turn.
AxelSpringer SE does not own its own social media app but they are definitely thinking about it. As CEO of one of the world’s largest publishing houses, Döpfner takes an active editorial interest in the news as his interview with Peter Thiel reveals. Döpfner’s mate Elon Musk is a pioneer. Musk bought Twitter (the Ellisons kicked in $1Bn.) and it transformed into the hate-fest that is X.com. Hundreds of billions of chaotic X threads were stuffed into X.ai. That project attained notoriety when it awoke, in July 2025, calling itself Mechanised Hitler (MechaHitler). Musk moved on to poisoned the air over an African American neighbourhood in Memphis Tennessee powering up Colossus I and Colossus II, the largest clusters of data centres in the world. Colossus still power X.ai and Grok. To make the electricity Musk burns fracked gas, a fossil fuel worse than coal for the environment.
If the Kushner surname rings a bell it’s because Charles is Jared Kushner’s dad. Jared Kushner along with Steve Witkoff make up the least successful peace negotiation team in the Middle East. Their track record in Ukraine is lousy too. They keep US weapons builders busy. While Kushner and Witkoff nodded to Iran peace negotiators in Switzerland Israeli and US F-35’s assassinated their “Supreme Leader” Ali Khamenei in Tehran.
That is Kushner diplomacy.
Jared Kushner was hired by Trump because he married Ivanka, the Donald’s sexy daughter (according to her own dad). When Netanyahu visited New York before he was prime minister Charles Kushner would turf little Jared out of his childhood bedroom so his mate Bibi could sleep there. Then Bibi became Israel’s prime minister and Jared married into the Trump family.
Charles Kushner is better known in the US as a conman, jailed for financial crimes, election interference and interfering with witnesses. Sentenced to two years he spent time in an Alabama Federal Prison camp. In the Trump dynasty he’s US ambassador to France. Kushner, Trump, and Witkoff and many of their odd children are speculators who like to be called hedge fund managers, real-estate investors and crypto-currency entrepreneurs. Trump may have put Charles in Paris to annoy Emmanuel Macron but he’s become a useful idiot for Döpfner.
Döpfner thinks the right people in the European private sector should buy TikTok Europe. Roushi Nair tossed the idea into the news feeds in an article in the Financial Times like a fork flinging spaghetti. Maybe it would stick to the right billionaire’s wall. AxelSpringer SE also tried to buy the Financial Times.
European Businessmen, according to Döpfner, should buy TikTok Europe. But why? Could Döpfner, like his mate Musk, have the AfD’s rise to power in Germany in mind? What we do know is he definitely wants to censor criticism of Israel. A virulent Zionist, Döpfner flies an Israeli flag over his German business and everyone who works for him has to pledge to that state’s right to existence. TikTok USA was successful in keeping that awful word ‘genocide’ from the eyes and ears of US youth. Shared videos on to protect Palestinians on TikTok panicked Netanyahu. Maybe Döpfner thinks Charles’ mate Bibi would like the idea to buy TikTok Europe? Most likely it was Bibi’s idea in the first place.
This regional TikTok model has already been tested in the US. TikTok has the best social media algorithm which makes it worth billions. Larry Ellison’s Oracle wealth bought TikTok USA housing its data sets on Oracle servers. Larry Ellison’s son used to be an actor. He now runs SkyDance (in which Musk is investing $8Bn. according to The Hollywood Reporter and the Ellison dynasty have bought up half of Hollywood. They’ve bought into CNN and HBO but they’re also very interested in news channels. By carving TikTok USA out of the Chinese company ByteDance it’s CEO became China’s richest man. TikTokers in elite US universities complaining about genocide don’t go viral any more. Their rectors are less likely to be forced to defund Israel.
When Döpfner visited France, the nation reeled from ugly street violence. Police beat secondary students in Place de la Republique while closer to the US Embassy looters were stealing $10,000 handbags and expensive Swiss watches. The International press was fudging the two. French students took to their streets to demand an education which would give them the skills they need for France’s future, not to steal handbags. Macron and his AI mates had other plans for that education money. Trump sells expensive weapons, so did Biden. Israel gets their death weapons free from both. Döpfner ignored the strife in Paris, he was on a mission to own an algorithm.
Roushi Nair, the Financial Time journalist, put Kushner and Döpfner together but the FT article told only part of the story. Döpfner’s mate, Elon Musk, spent billions to buy Twitter to bring Donald Trump back to that platform. Musk’s purchase helped Trump win his second US Presidential election. Musk’s quarter billion in donations also helped.
Trump’s first campaign was bolstered by Cambridge Analytica technology. The Trump tech guy was Brad Parscale. Brad ran the technology machine to tame social media algorithms for Trump. Brad worked for campaign manager Steve Bannon. Bannon edited Breitbart News, a propaganda zine, then he bought Cambridge Analytica and invented MAGA all with Mercer foundation money. When UK and US governments shut down Cambridge Analytica, Parscale bought the technology and the massive data sets to continue his work elsewhere such as South America with Fernando Cerimedo who was recently jailed in Bolivia for an attempted hit on his own pregnant girlfriend Nadia Beller.
Nair brought Kushner and Döpfner together but missed the connections between Trump, Musk, Kushner, Kushner’s-dad, Netanyahu, Weidel, Parscale, Bannon, TikTok, X and META. Döpfner wants to be a kingpin in Europe for the PayPal mafia’s great game. That game is all about AI and social media; it goes something like this.
- Humanity’s written works, photography and art are dumped en masse into AI data centres (like Colossus)
- Hungry AI models (like MechaHitler) will be force fed human thought
- Models will try to learn to “think” in a machine way or at least how to fake their intelligence
- Models will spew out anti-democratic toxic social media via custom algorithms like TikTok USA, especially during elections.
- Models will be aligned to share their owner’s far right ideas.
- If this works the far right can win elections again an again.
- Success depends on other factors…
(1) Eradicating critical thinking and media studies in public education or, better still, crippling effective public education all together.
(2) Infiltrating religious (particularly Pentecostal) faith-base to brainwash believers
(3) Increased atomisation of society (preferably with little physical and emotional connection).
All three factors should correlate positively with populations being fooled by algorithms.
TikTok’s algorithm was made in China but was tamed in the USA. Döpfner wants to do this in Europe. The Ellisons bought TikTok USA. US capital has already warped X and TikTok USA for Netanyahu and Trump. Now Döpfner can popularise the Zionist project in Europe.
Only immensely rich oligarchs can afford to tame algorithms to help spread far right ideas. In Silicon Valley the technical term for this is AI alignment. Like the newspapers they buy to defend their wealth from professional journalism conventional media, algorithms extend this censorship to help tame social media which is not so easy to buy. Privately-owned social media algorithms running in platforms that these oligarchs own are their most valuable properties. These white men need these to extend their wealth and power, to do this they need to tame the world’s most successful algorithm. Döpfner wants to be Europe’s Musk. Musk is the South African who saluted Donald Trump’s second presidential victory with a Heil Hitler salute.
What could go wrong?
