Elon Musk Endorses Germany's AfD Party, Drawing Global Attention

The tech billionaire's support comes as the AfD gains momentum following Germany's government collapse and upcoming snap elections in February.

Elon Musk publicly endorsed the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party, calling it Germany's 'only hope,' sparking widespread debate about his influence on politics.
The AfD, labeled a far-right populist party by experts, has faced scrutiny for extremist ties, including past investigations by Germany's domestic intelligence agency.
The party's platform includes anti-immigration policies, opposition to the eurozone, and controversial stances on religion and abortion rights.
Germany is preparing for snap elections in February 2025 after the collapse of Chancellor Olaf Scholz's coalition government in a no-confidence vote.
Despite its growing popularity, with polling at 19%, the AfD remains unlikely to win outright but could gain unprecedented federal influence in Germany's parliament.
