The director of the Global Public Policy Institute, Thorsten Benner, commented that Musk's support for the AfD would attract attention, but would only vote for a few Germans for advertising for the party. Political scientist Hans Vorländer said that Weidel's appearance could look rather negative and that she had impacted unprepared.
