Elon Musk Calls AfD Germany's 'Last Hope' in Op-Ed, Leading to Editor Eva Kogel's Resignation
Dec 28, 2024, 08:02 PM
Elon Musk, the US tech billionaire and owner of X, has published an opinion piece in the German newspaper Welt am Sonntag, expressing his support for the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. In the article, Musk describes the AfD as Germany's 'last spark of hope' and argues that the party can lead the country toward economic prosperity, cultural integrity, and technological innovation. He dismisses portrayals of the AfD as right-wing extremist, noting that its leader, Alice Weidel, has a same-sex partner from Sri Lanka. The publication of Musk's op-ed has sparked controversy, leading to the resignation of Eva Marie Kogel, the opinion section editor of Welt am Sonntag, who resigned in protest against the decision to publish the piece. The incident has caused internal debate within the newspaper and has been widely reported across international media.
