Elon Musk has publicly endorsed the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party ahead of the upcoming Bundestag elections, declaring that ‘only the AfD can save Germany.’ His comments have drawn criticism from other political parties, raising concerns of foreign interference in the election. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz emphasized that freedom of speech applies to everyone, including billionaires, but highlighted the potential risks of misinformation. The AfD has leveraged Musk’s endorsement for recruitment, while other party leaders have called for him to refrain from influencing German politics.
