Summary

Elon Musk published a controversial opinion piece in Germany’s Welt am Sonntag supporting the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, prompting the newspaper’s opinion editor to resign.

Musk denied the AfD’s extremism, citing its leader’s same-sex relationship, and reiterated his claim that “only the AfD can save Germany.”

The AfD, classified as a suspected extremism case by Germany’s intelligence agency, has surged in polls ahead of February elections.

Musk’s support drew backlash, with critics highlighting the AfD’s anti-immigration stance and calls to leave the EU.

    Maybe someone needs to put German on the H1B visa news. The AfD is dangerous and, a distraction from the class war.

        Oh, I not saying they aren’t part of it. I’m saying they distract Germans with fear and bigotry of immigrants. That’s the distraction I’m talking about mainly.
