Wow, German public broadcaster @tagesschau brings the worst kind of #falsebalance: "rejecting #asylum seekers at the border is illegal, that's at least the opinion of a court of #law in Berlin. The interior minister, however, says...".

Dmitry Novikov, first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs, made the comments to Russian state news outlet #TASS. "I think that Musk has a completely different game, [so] he will not need any political #asylum, although if he did, #Russia, of course, could provide it," Novikov said, in remarks translated from Russian.
