Peter Feldmann invites Elon Musk to Frankfurt. Who else could come …

Busch: What are you writing again? We are free.

Leppert: I’m just making a list of who to invite for my birthday.

Busch: Uh … your birthday isn’t until the end of May.

Leppert: Nice. But I invite Kevin Trapp, Filip Kostic and Martin Hinteregger. They have to plan for the long term.

Did you have a nice Christmas, dear friends of local politics? That’s our pleasure. The best Christmas present for Frankfurt could have come from the visionary and Tesla founder Elon Musk. Because: Lord Mayor Peter Feldmann (SPD) has invited Musk. On April 6, he is to come to the opening of the Museum of Modern Electronic Music (Momem) in Frankfurt, Feldmann wrote on Twitter. If Musk had accepted straight away, it would have been a nice mess. But as it is with Christmas presents: You don’t always get the Carrera race track you want. According to our information, at least Musk has not yet accepted.

Now, of course, you can say again: This Lord Mayor, totally aloof, thinks he’s the Sun King, just invites Musk over. But apart from the fact that the tweet is funny: Why shouldn’t we think big in Frankfurt? Our politicians should take Feldmann as an example. Here are our expectations …

Sports department head Mike Josef (SPD) invites Lionel Messi to the celebratory start of the expansion of the Waldstadion. He’ll come too, dozens of pictures are taken of Josef next to the world footballer. The only problem: Josef, a highly talented kicker, can no longer claim afterwards that the only reason he did not become a national player is because he is a few centimeters too short.

Education department head Sylvia Weber (SPD) invites Mehmet Coscunoglu to the opening of the Gymnasiusm Süd. He was recently voted Teacher of the Year in North Rhine-Westphalia. Coscunoglu comes too, but flees again after a minute. There is no air filter in the classroom. “We had a few problems with the tender,” says Weber regretfully.

Environment officer Rosemarie Heilig (Greens) invites climate icon Greta Thunberg to the presentation of the climate atlas in the Römer. Thunberg arrives by train and then wants to take the tram to the town hall. She thinks the price of a short-haul ticket is a bad joke. Thunberg drives black, is caught, has no money for the sentence and is sent to the Preungesheim prison because it only has one place of residence abroad. Pissed off, Heilig calls out to the head of the legal department, Stephanie Wüst (FDP): “She’ll be out of jail in two hours, otherwise the coalition will be over.”
