If you want to have a say at the virtual regulars' table, you have to see what the trending topics are there - whether they are important or not.
On Friday, alongside Nord Stream 1 and a "Lauterbachmussendlichweg" call, #Porschegate suddenly appeared on Twitter, which, to put it briefly, is about the question of how much the FDP politician Christian Lindner has made himself a Porsche bailiff.
So much so that even Porsche boss Oliver Blume boasts how much Porsche is in the coalition agreement?

That is the story that was told on July 19 on the ZDF show "Die Anstalt".
“We played a very large part in the fact that e-fuels were included in the coalition agreement.
We were a main driver there, with very close contact with the coalition parties," Porsche boss Oliver Blume is said to have told his employees at a works meeting, and: "Christian Lindner has kept me up to date almost every hour in the last few days."
Zuffenhausen does not want to confirm whether Blume, who is considered to be rather reserved, really showed off his contacts in the government.
But there should be people who definitely remember it.
Otherwise there is an official statement from Porsche: “There was no such exchange.
It is true that the company generally maintains a constructive exchange with all relevant stakeholders.”
The fact is that Porsche is extremely interested in keeping the combustion engine running - because a 911 can never run on batteries.
And what do they say about that in Wolfsburg?
At Volkswagen, they are apparently trying to smile #Porschegate away and put a kind of denial in a tweet: "Christian Lindner is known to be a Porsche fan, which makes us happy.
But there was no live ticker.”
