Elon Musk Urges Germans to Vote AfD in Virtual Speech, Says "It's Okay to Be Proud to Be German"
Jan 25, 2025, 05:06 PM
On January 25, 2025, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and owner of X (formerly Twitter), made a virtual appearance at a campaign rally for Germany's far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party in Halle, Saxony-Anhalt. Musk urged German voters to support the AfD in the upcoming February 23 election, stating that it could "decide the fate of Europe, maybe the fate of the world." He encouraged Germans to be proud of their culture, saying, "It's okay to be proud to be German," and added that "children should not feel guilty for the sins of their parents—their great-grandparents even." Musk also criticized what he described as excessive bureaucracy and government oppression, calling for the restoration of freedom of speech. AfD leader Alice Weidel shared Musk's remarks, amplifying his endorsement. German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius criticized Musk's intervention, suggesting that Musk wants to influence European democracies.
