Summary
Germany accused Elon Musk of trying to influence its February 2024 election by endorsing the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) through social media posts and a commentary in Welt am Sonntag.
Musk praised the AfD’s positions on regulation and taxes, calling them Germany’s saviors.
His actions sparked backlash, with opposition leader Friedrich Merz calling it unprecedented interference and SPD leader Saskia Esken vowing to resist influence from wealthy elites.
The Welt editor who published Musk’s piece resigned, while the AfD, polling second, remains shunned by mainstream parties.
Got it lol
Not every opinion Wagenknecht has voiced in the past has been bad but in general, imho, she and her people just like being against whatever the government does (they do have that in common with the AfD). Also she longs for the good old GDR days so there’s that.
Yes.
