Germany's Defense Ministry announced it will stop posting on Musk's social media platform.

Министерство обороны Германии решило прекратить публикации в социальной сети, принадлежащей Маску.

"The Ministry of Defense will suspend the operation of the Verteidigungsministerium channel on platform X starting January 15, 2025, and will not actively publish information on this channel in the foreseeable future. Additionally, the X channels of the Inspector General and subordinate units, such as inspectors and commanders, as well as the central X channel of the Bundeswehr, will also be suspended in the future," the statement said.

The German agency made this announcement on X itself.

"The primary reason for this decision is that, according to the assessment of the Federal Ministry of Defense, actual argument exchange is becoming increasingly difficult," the release stated.

The German defense ministry reports that in the future it "will alternatively use WhatsApp to inform about relevant appointments and decisions made by the minister, as well as news from the ministry."

"One thing is clear: social media alone cannot meet all the communication needs of the ministry. Therefore, to ensure transparent and broad communication within the business, various forms of communication and distribution channels will continue to be selected in the future. [...] The Federal Ministry of Defense reserves the right to respond on X in exceptional cases, such as during disinformation campaigns," the release stated.

The ministry reminded of the existence of its other channels for disseminating information, particularly Instagram and YouTube.
