Musk, the billionaire Trump ally who is playing a public role in the incoming administration, posted in support Friday of Alternative for Germany, or AfD, after the German government collapsed this week.
Elon Musk is wading into more than just American politics, throwing his support behind a far-right German political party. “Only the AfD can save Germany,” Musk wrote Friday while re-posting a video from far-right political activist Naomi Seibt. The AfD, which has recently seen its popularity swell, has touted populist and anti-immigrant “Germany first” positions. But the party has also been accused of resurrecting Nazi-era ideology and slogans.
Maybe I’m missing something,” he wrote. And last month he labeled German Chancellor Olaf Scholz a “fool” after his governing coalition collapsed. On Friday, Musk continued posting about the AfD, writing in response to a user’s post about the party’s immigration policy that it “sounds reasonable.” Musk began following AfD leader Alice Weidel on X who responded to his endorsement, posting a video expressing gratitude.
