German climate change sceptic and YouTuber Naomi Seibt, known as the "anti-Greta", has filed for political asylum in the U.S. Seibt claims she is being denied protection in Germany, alleging surveillance by German intelligence and police inaction regarding death threats from Antifa. She fears arrest in Germany for social media posts, citing a law extended under Angela Merkel that makes it illegal to damage a politician's reputation. Tech billionaire Elon Musk is reportedly supporting her asylum appeal, having privately messaged her on X after she publicly voted for the far-right Alternative für Deutschland party. Seibt seeks U.S. citizenship, stating the country has given her hope, and has a history of promoting climate scepticism and other controversial views.
