Elon Musk, the billionaire whose support for Donald Trump has given him the president-elect's ear, is throwing his support behind Alternative for Germany (AfD), a far-right party that critics describe as xenophobic, extremist and perhaps even a successor to the Nazi Party.
“Only the AfD can save Germany,” Musk wrote in an X post on Friday. The post follows a series of endorsements for other far-right parties and leaders across Europe, including Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni and Reform UK chief Nigel Farage.
