Elon Musk has endorsed the far-right AfD party in Germany, claiming it is essential for the country's future amidst the political instability following Chancellor Scholz's coalition collapse. The endorsement has stirred controversy, with criticisms labeling the AfD as extremist. It coincides with growing anxiety in Europe regarding Musk's influence as a close ally of President-elect Trump, whose administration could shift U.S. foreign policy. Analysts caution that Musk’s involvement in German politics might jeopardize traditional alliances and amplify far-right sentiments, further complicating the landscape in the wake of significant anti-establishment movements across Europe.
