Summary

Elon Musk is expected to host Alice Weidel, leader of Germany’s far-right AfD party, for an online chat on his platform, X, ahead of Germany’s Feb. 23 national election.

Musk, who endorsed the anti-immigration, anti-Islamic AfD in December, has drawn criticism for supporting far-right and anti-establishment movements in Europe.

German leaders, including Chancellor Olaf Scholz, have condemned Musk’s involvement, calling it undemocratic.

The AfD, labeled extremist by German security, has been isolated by mainstream parties, but Musk’s endorsement has sparked controversy and debate over his political influence.

    Muskrat wants to weaken German unions so he can build Teslas more cheaply and he needs an authoritarian regime that will violently break up protests outside his German factories. This is why he is promoting AfD since that’s the only party that will do Musks bidding. Also why he isn’t talking about France even though fascism is on the rise there as well, he doesn’t have a factory there.
