American billionaire Elon Musk is reportedly trying to influence the upcoming German federal elections on February 23, 2024, through social media posts and an opinion piece in Welt am Sonntag, supporting the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. A government spokesperson noted that while Musk is free to express his views, his endorsements come at a critical time as voters prepare for elections following the collapse of Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s coalition government. Musk’s statements have sparked debate about the intersection of foreign influence and electoral politics.
