Elon Musk endorses Germany's far-right AfD party ahead of elections

Elon Musk has endorsed Germany's far-right party, the Alternative for Deutschland (AfD), ahead of the upcoming elections. He has called the AfD the only party that can save Germany and has actively engaged with its leaders and supporters on social media. German political figures have criticized Musk's involvement, warning of potential consequences. Chancellor Olaf Scholz and other officials have accused him of spreading misinformation and undermining democracy, particularly regarding Germany's historical context. Musk's support has significantly increased the visibility of the AfD and its leader, Alice Weidel, on social media. However, experts note that while Musk's influence is notable on X, it may not translate to broader support on other platforms or impact the election outcome directly.
