German Christmas market attack suspect Taleb Abdulmohsen was a fan of Elon Musk
Taleb Jawad al-Abdulmohsen was arrested in the car used for the attack, and is suspected of deliberately ploughing into the crowd of Christmas revellers in northern Germany on Friday night, killing five and injuring more than 200.
On social media, Abdulmohsen portrayed himself as a victim of persecution who had renounced Islam and decried what he said was the Islamisation of Germany.

Der Spiegel and social media users reported that an X account that appeared to be affiliated to the suspect, made comments supporting Musk and Jones, as well as the far-right German party AfD (Alternative for Germany).
Without specifying where it got the information, Der Spiegel also said the suspect was a fan of Elon Musk. "The entrepreneur Elon Musk, who is increasingly openly expressing his sympathies for right-wing parties, was probably one of his role models," said the publication, according to a translation.
The suspect, according to Der Spiegel said: "What Musk says, what Alex Jones says, or anyone who is labeled a radical or a right-wing extremist by mainstream media—they're telling the truth."
In an unpublished interview with AFP from 2022 for an unrelated story, Abdulmohsen presented himself as "a Saudi atheist", and said that young Saudis were not only fleeing the government but "are fleeing Islam".
"Strict Islamic upbringing is the cause of all the problems of Muslims, especially women," he said.

Last August, he posted on social media: "Is there a path to justice in Germany without blowing up a German embassy or randomly slaughtering German citizens? I have been seeking a peaceful path since January 2019 and have not found it. If anyone knows it, please let me know."
In the post, he condemned what he called "the crimes committed by Germany against Saudi refugees and the obstruction of justice, no matter how much evidence was presented to them".
