Elon Musk has publicly supported the right-wing party AfD in a guest article for ‘Welt am Sonntag,’ describing it as Germany’s last hope. This endorsement has led to significant internal conflict within the publication, resulting in the resignation of its opinion section chief. Musk praised AfD’s stance on deregulation, tax cuts, and immigration, despite the party being classified as far-right by Germany’s Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution. Critics, including journalist union leaders, caution against politicizing media platforms, while Musk continues to face backlash for his remarks.
