Elon Musk, billionaire and close advisor to U.S. President Donald Trump, intervened in German politics by expressing support for the far-right party AfD in a post on X. He emphasized that the AfD could save Germany amid rapid political changes leading to early elections in 2025. Musk’s comments followed a tweet from German political activist Naomi Seibt, known for her climate change denial, who criticized a potential future chancellorship by Friedrich Merz of CDU for distancing himself from the AfD.
