Naomi Seibt Files U.S. Asylum Claim, Citing Persecution in Germany

Elon Musk has privately encouraged her effort, with the claim under review.

Overview

  • The 25-year-old German activist submitted a petition under Section 208 of the Immigration and Nationality Act seeking protection in the United States.
  • She says she is in the country legally, is waiting for an asylum interview, and ultimately hopes to become a U.S. citizen.
  • Seibt alleges surveillance by German intelligence and death threats from Antifa, and says police offered no protection; these assertions are reported as her account and are not independently verified.
  • She is publicly aligned with the AfD, which Germany’s domestic intelligence service classifies as a right-wing extremist organization.
  • Seibt says Elon Musk boosted her posts on X and privately supported her decision to apply, and reporting notes the asylum process could take months.
