Activist Known As “Anti-Greta” Seeks Political Asylum In The US With Support From Elon Musk

A conservative German activist known as the “anti-Greta Thunberg” has applied for political asylum in the US, claiming she’s being persecuted in her home country and faces the risk of imprisonment or physical harm.

Naomi Seibt, who rose to prominence as a conservative activist in her teens, said she has spoken with Elon Musk and has received direct support from the Tesla billionaire.

The 25-year-old claims her support for the far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD) has made her a target in Germany, so she is currently staying in the US while seeking approval for her asylum request.
