Summary

Elon Musk sparked outrage in Germany by endorsing the far-right, anti-immigrant Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party on his platform, X, claiming “only the AfD can save Germany.”

The AfD, which polls second ahead of Germany’s February snap election, has been labeled extremist by German intelligence.

Political leaders accused Musk of election interference, while others criticized his remarks as harmful. Musk later doubled down, calling for Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s resignation.

Musk’s comments align with his past support for far-right and anti-immigration figures across Europe and beyond.

      In most parts of the world your grandparents killed Nazis. We had a whole kerfluffle about it back in the 1940s

    This guy is a fascist sociopath and he’s doing his best to destabilize democracies. When are public institutions worldwide going to ditch their Twitter account?
