YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Scholz called his interventions “disgusting.” Some corporate participants at the Springer event were privately keen to stress that they would attend in the morning and be gone by the time Musk beamed in later on Tuesday. Christiane Benner, the head of Germany’s most powerful labor union, IG Metall, said the billionaire’s actions were “unacceptable.”
