Elon Musk's support for Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party involves amplifying misinformation during the electoral campaign. He has publicly backed the party and participated in discussions with its leaders, notably featuring in a live talk with co-leader Alice Weidel. A fact-check revealed that Musk shared a false claim regarding the EU's power to nullify elections, misrepresenting comments made by former EU Commissioner Thierry Breton. This engagement demonstrates Musk's extensive reach on social media and the potential consequences of spreading disinformation.
Musk spread misinformation during the 2024 US election and is now supporting Germany's far-right AfD party, influencing millions through his social media platform.
