Tesla CEO Elon Musk endorsed Germany’s far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, claiming, “Only the AfD can save Germany,” during a post on X. This endorsement drew criticism from Sen. Chris Murphy, who accused Musk of supporting neo-Nazi ideologies linked to the AfD. Musk’s comment follows Germany’s left-wing coalition collapse, with the AfD currently polling second ahead of upcoming elections. Musk has also supported right-wing leaders in other countries, contributing significantly to Donald Trump’s campaign. Amidst controversies, he strained relations with Germany over criticisms of Tesla’s factory and pointed criticism of Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s response to recent violence.
