Elon Musk's Pro-AfD Op-Ed Sparks Resignation of Die Welt Opinion Editor
Dec 28, 2024, 08:41 PM
Elon Musk, the tech billionaire and owner of X (formerly Twitter), has written an opinion piece in the German newspaper Welt am Sonntag, expressing his support for the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. Musk described the AfD as Germany's 'last spark of hope' and argued that the party could lead the country towards economic prosperity, cultural integrity, and technological innovation. He listed five reasons why only the AfD can save Germany. Musk, who has made significant investments in Germany's industrial and technological sectors, highlighted Alice Weidel, the leader of the AfD, in his piece. The publication of the article has sparked widespread controversy and led to internal conflict at Welt am Sonntag, resulting in the resignation of Eva Marie Kogel, the opinion editor, in protest against the decision to publish Musk's piece. The move has also drawn criticism from politicians and media figures within Germany.
