Chancellor Olaf Scholz expressed deep concern regarding Elon Musk's endorsement of the far-right AfD party, which he views as detrimental to trans-Atlantic relations and democracy.
Musk's support for the AfD poses a significant threat as they advocate for rapprochement with Putin's Russia, which Scholz believes undermines both German and wider European stability.
The rise of the AfD, particularly in eastern Germany, shows a troubling trend in German politics, with their popularity nearly doubling to around 20% ahead of upcoming elections.
Scholz noted that Musk's recent attacks on him and other politicians are less concerning than his political alignments, which could have real implications for democracy in Germany.
