Musk ignites the debate: AfD as a last spark hope for Germany!

Elon Musk, the controversial tech mogul, has heavily promoted the right-wing populist alternative for Germany (AfD) by an article in the "Welt am Sonntag". In his guest post, he described the AfD as the "last spark of hope" for Germany and criticized the representation of the party as a right -wing extremist. Musk, who has already put himself under public, demanded that only this party could save Germany on social media. These statements came back to violent reactions, even the comment director of the newspaper stepped back in protest, such as Sky News reported.

dramatic influence on politics

Musk's influence extends beyond the United States; After Donald Trump's election victory, he demonstrates a close connection to European right -wing populists. According to Nigel Farage, he is also planning to support the British anti-EU politician with up to 95 million euros in order to strengthen his online presence. With over 200 million followers on its platform X (formerly Twitter), Musk has the potential to significantly influence political debates worldwide. Critics accuse him of urging him through his financial contributions and direct interventions to political processes, especially with regard to the deregulation of state institutions, such as Krone reported.

The AfD, which has been classified by Federal Constitutional Protection as a suspected case in right -wing extremism since 2021, increasingly attracts attention. Musk defends the party with the assertion that it represents advanced ideas such as reducing state over -regulation and a critical attitude towards immigration. While the political landscapes in Germany are sorting up, the AfD is currently in second place in surveys and could play a crucial role in the upcoming elections on February 23.
