Elon Musk Faces Backlash for Interfering in German Election by Endorsing Far-Right Party

Elon Musk has been accused by the German government of attempting to influence the country's upcoming elections by endorsing the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. His social media posts and a controversial op-ed generated outrage across the political spectrum, leading to an editor's resignation from the newspaper that published his article. Politicians criticized Musk's endorsement as an unprecedented foreign interference in a democratic election, highlighting the AfD's extremist views and their anti-immigrant policies. The situation escalates as Germany approaches a significant parliamentary election in February 2024.
