Elon Musk sees the AfD as “saving Germany”

Berlin/Washington – A few weeks before the federal election, US tech billionaire Elon Musk recommends the right-wing populist AfD as the best party for Germany. “Only the AfD can save Germany,” the advisor to US President-elect Donald Trump posted on his short message service X on Friday. Parts of the AfD are classified as right-wing extremist by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution. Critics accuse the “Alternative for Germany” of taking a right-wing populist, xenophobic course.
