Elon Musk Declares "Only the AfD Can Save Germany," Endorses Far-Right Party Ahead of 2025 Election
Dec 20, 2024, 08:34 AM
Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and owner of X (formerly Twitter), has publicly endorsed Germany's far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party ahead of the federal elections scheduled for 2025. In a post on X, Musk declared, "Only the AfD can save Germany." The AfD, known for its anti-immigration policies and rising popularity—reportedly reaching up to 30% in polls—has faced opposition from mainstream parties, with some politicians calling for a ban on the party and labeling its supporters as fascists. Musk's endorsement has sparked an uproar in Germany, with political figures and media commentators expressing concern over foreign influence in domestic politics.
