Elon Musk praises Germany's AfD after strong election performance

Elon Musk congratulated Germany's far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party after it finished second in the recent election, achieving a record 20% of the vote. He shared a message from Hungarian President Viktor Orbán, praising the party's growth. The election was won by Germany's conservative parties, the Christian Democrats (CDU) and Christian Social Union (CSU), with around 30% of the vote. The center-left Social Democrats (SDP) received 16%, marking a potential low point for the party. Musk has been a consistent supporter of the AfD, previously stating that "only the AfD can save Germany." The party has gained traction in recent years, raising concerns domestically and internationally due to its anti-immigration stance and extremist ties.
