Germany's far-right AfD welcomes Musk backing
After Elon Musk posted his support for Germany's far-right AfD, the party's leader Alice Weidel expressed her gratitude.
Summary
Elon Musk expressed support for Germany’s far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party on X, stating “Only the AfD can save Germany.”
Party leader Alice Weidel welcomed his endorsement, urging followers to review her criticisms of German politics.
The AfD, polling at 19% ahead of February’s federal election, is officially under scrutiny as an extremist group by German authorities.
Musk has previously questioned the party’s “far-right” label. Controversy surrounds the AfD, including links to a meeting discussing deportation of migrants.

We were worried about russians meddling secretly with our elections but when a mentally crippled billionaire does so openly we are ok with it. Fucking great. Can someone shoo… tell him to stop already?
I don’t understand this, while it’s obviously bad to have this situation, isn’t this the logical conclusion of the American political system?
Lobbying has been a thing for decades, isn’t the logical conclusion that we get tyrants infiltrating the government?
Clearly America has been working towards this for a long time.
Can someone shoo… tell him to stop already?
I've come to like the phrase "can he meet with Luigi already?"
Of all the people in the entire world, muskrat is in the top 5 that need a visit from Luigi.
Send him to the Mushroom Kingdom
I've just absorbed that into my vocabulary, thank you
A visit from Luigi or you know, a short fall a long way
Hopefully musk gets too close to Putin and finds himself "accidentally" falling out of a window
Joke all you want; the moment anyone involved in US politics get defenestrated there is going to be a whole lotta crazy. The thing to remember is that regular people don't get to go near those windows.
This isn't reddit. I hope someone stops the mass death that Elon is supporting with a bullet into his skull.
Shoo him away you mean?
I concur - someone should shoo him away (or at least downregulate him).
Until that happens, companies that he owns can be boycotted in the faint hope that he understands something, but that kind of people, nah... they typically won't.
Once this episode is over - in whatever way - I even think we might see reforms in the US electoral system. To prevent an oligarch from buying everyone a crooked president.
As for Germans, they will probably not appreciate his advise.
