Elon Musk has backed a far-right political party in Germany

Elon Musk has caused outrage after he threw his support behind a far-right political party in Germany, lauding them as the country’s saviour.

In a post on Musk’s own social media platform X, he wrote that “only” the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party can “save Germany”.

He also shared a video of a German right-wing influencer named Naomi Seibt, who is known for supporting AfD and for being a climate change-denier.

Musk’s tweet – and Seibt’s video – comes just weeks before a snap election is due to happen in Germany.

Alice Weidel, the AfD’s chancellor candidate, responded to Musk’s tweet with enthusiasm. She wrote: “Yes! You are perfectly right.”
