Ulrich Siegmund, leader of Germany's far-right AfD party, thanked Elon Musk for his support after the party's historic election victory, the first for a far-right party in Germany since World War II. Siegmund invited Musk to invest in the region the party will now govern, citing potential for strong cooperation. Musk had previously praised the victory, while President Trump shared the projection on Truth Social without comment. Musk has supported the AfD since 2025, including a live chat with Alice Weidel and a virtual campaign appearance. The party is pro-Kremlin and opposes German support for Ukraine, raising concerns about its influence on European politics.
