Germany's right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party has been endorsed by Elon Musk.
The right-wing Alternative for Germany party is attracting the attention of Americans after Elon Musk backed it last week, amid its growing popularity in the European nation—Newsweek has looked at the odds of the party actually winning Germany's upcoming elections.Musk's message that 'only the AfD can save Germany' came after the collapse of the German coalition government, when Chancellor Olaf Scholz lost a confidence vote, triggering snap elections in February.
Although these figures make it look unlikely that the AfD would outright win Germany's elections on February 23, the party seems set to gain more federal influence than it has ever had.AfD co-chair Alice Weidel has called on Germany's 'mainstream parties' to work with her party.Earlier this year, she said: 'We call on the CDU/CSU and the FDP to finally accept their civic responsibility and to reach an agreement with us. After all, we represent millions of voters.
