Elon Musk supports the AfD: A look at the political bomb!

The billion dollar entrepreneurs Elon Musk continues his support for populist and right -wing political movements, this time with a focus on Germany. AfD boss Alice Weidel takes part in a live interview, which is scheduled to take place on Musks Platform X on Thursday at 7 p.m. This event is expected with special excitement, since Musk had previously only made written comments on European politics. With 211 million followers, Musk brings an immense range into the discussion that will deal with central issues such as freedom of expression and the future of Germany, as a Weidel spokesman explained.

This step comes at a delicate time: Germany is facing an early Bundestag elections on February 23. Musk, who has also emerged with rabid comments about the German government, called Chancellor Olaf Scholz a 'incompetent fool' and criticized Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier as 'tyrant'. Despite the controversy and the general rejection of the AfD by all established German parties that strictly reject a coalition with it, the party has achieved significant gains in the last state elections.

However, critics warn of the possible effects on German democracy and emphasize that the elections should be decided by the citizens and not by billions of billions. In Germany, the Musk commitment causes great excitement, and leading politicians, including Scholz and Minister of Economics Robert Habeck, have made their outrage over his interference with German politics.
