Naomi Seibt, a prominent German activist often dubbed the ‘anti-Greta Thunberg,’ has voiced fears for her safety and is seeking asylum in the United States with the support of Elon Musk. Seibt, now 25, first gained attention as a teenager when a conservative think tank in 2020 featured her as a key figure challenging the green movement. Her alignment with the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, she claims, has made her a target in her home country.

With the changes in asylum policies under Donald Trump, which favor white Europeans and South Africans, Seibt sees a potential pathway to safety in the U.S. Her connection with Musk, who began boosting her posts on X, has fortified her resolve. She shared with Fox News Digital that Musk, concerned about the risks in Europe, personally encouraged her decision to seek asylum. Presently in the U.S. legally, Seibt is hopeful for a successful interview that will grant her asylum status. Her interactions with Musk have evolved through retweets and private discussions, where he has expressed his support for her eventual citizenship aspirations.

Seibt envisions a future as an American citizen, a prospect she finds hopeful given her experiences. She alleges that German authorities have been monitoring her activities and have subjected her to threats over the years. Facing potential imprisonment and threats from Antifa, she approached German police but claims they were unable to offer protection, citing the absence of physical harm. “I’m at significant risk,” she asserts, “yet the German government fails to provide the protection I need.”

Seibt said that despite laws against penalizing speech critical of politicians, she will be arrested if she ever returns to her homeland. Last year, she made headlines for her take on the Magdeburg Christmas market slaughter which was boosted by Musk. She claimed the attack was carried out by Islamists, although that has not been proven. The activist when wrote on X: ‘Elon Musk is right: Only the AfD can save Germany.’ She was brought to the attention of Americans in 2020, when the Heartland Institute created a YouTube video that pitched Seibt against Thunberg. ‘I have good news for you. The world is not ending because of climate change,’ Seibt says in the video for the lobbying group. ‘People are being force-fed a very dystopian agenda of climate alarmism that tells us that we as humans are destroying the planet and that we, the young people especially, have no future.’

In another video entitled ‘Naomi Seibt vs. Greta Thunberg: whom should we trust?’, footage is seen of both teens as they make their opposing cases. Seibt called Thunberg a proponent of ‘climate alarmism.’ ‘I used to be a climate change alarmist myself because, obviously, as a young girl I grew up around the climate change hysteria in the media, in my school books. ‘I was an innocent young girl and I thought by hugging the trees I could save the planet, which quite frankly turned out not to be true,’ she says in one YouTube video.

Seibt said the thinking at the time on climate change was an ‘insult to science, and the complexity of nature, and freedom of speech’ adding ‘it is important we keep questioning the narrative that is out there.’ ‘Climate change alarmism at its very core is a despicably anti-human ideology. We are told to look down on our achievements with guilt, shame, disgust and not even to take into account the many major benefits we have from using fossil fuels as our main energy source. ‘Look around. We are living in such an amazing era of fast progress and innovation. We are not allowed to be proud of that at all? Instead debates are being shut down and real scientists lose their jobs.’ The Daily Mail has reached out to the White House for comment on Seibt’s asylum claim.
