During a livestream event on X, tech billionaire Elon Musk expressed his support for the far-right German party Alternative for Germany (AfD) and its co-leader. Musk referred to the co-leader as 'very reasonable' and emphasized the importance of backing AfD for the betterment of Germany.
Musk's endorsement of AfD as the savior of Germany and his call for people to rally behind the party to bring about change in the country's political landscape have stirred controversy and drawn attention to his increasing involvement in European politics.
Drawing parallels between the political climates in Germany and the United States, Musk highlighted the discontent among voters and the desire for change, similar to what was witnessed during the election of President Donald Trump. With Germany's upcoming election on February 23, Musk's endorsement of AfD has sparked debate and divided opinions.
Notably, Musk's public statements have not gone unnoticed by global leaders, with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron among those who have criticized his remarks. Musk's vocal support for AfD and his comments on other political figures have raised concerns about his influence and the impact of his statements on international relations.
As Musk continues to engage in political discourse and make bold statements on social media platforms like X, the repercussions of his actions are being closely monitored by leaders and observers worldwide.
