Tech billionaire Elon Musk hosted a live chat with Alice Weidel, co-leader of Germany's AfD, endorsing her as a candidate for chancellor. Critics claim Musk's actions could influence the upcoming elections on Feb. 23, as the AfD faces scrutiny as a suspected extremist group. The event has sparked international condemnation, emphasizing concerns over misinformation and interference in European politics. Despite gaining public support, other parties refuse to coalition with AfD, complicating its prospects ahead of the elections. Questions arise regarding Musk's role and the potential regulatory consequences for his platform X.
