Mr Musk himself recently gave rise to a dispute in Germany and anywhere else, which, after the inauguration of Mr. Trump, a rally of supporters was widely regarded as a Nazi salute.
President Trump’s adviser, billionaire, endorsed the so -called AFD party, which endorsed the so -called AFD party in a post on his social media platform X later last year, and later migrated. , Referring to your stance on energy policy and other matters. Trying to reasonably present the party and its leadership, it has increased its support since then.
In doing so, it has turned the tampering of years with Nazism and other measures by AFD members, which led to the unity of the political parties in the mainstream of Germany in opposition to working with the organization. What is
German intelligence agencies have formally classified parts of AFD as extremists. A party leader was sentenced last year on charges of using the prohibited Nazi language. Members of the party, including a former member of the Federal Parliament, are involved in several plots to overthrow the German government.
Mr Musk, though, has repeatedly praised the AFD. He hosted his candidate for Chancellor, Ellis Wilde, for a friendly interview on X this month. Addressing a party conference on Saturday via video link, he said the party had the support of “Trump administration”.
He called for the history of the Roman Empire to the history of Germany, citing that he cited the definition of Julius Caesar for German fighters. He described AFD’s suggestions as “general understanding” and accused the present German government of oppressing free speech and disagreement. He said the world needs less central governance, including the European Union in Brussels, and the strong governance of individual countries.
“I think the fate of the world depends on this choice in Germany.” “This is very fundamental.”
Despite Mr Musk’s confirmation, the AFD has not laid the basis for the polls before the parliamentary elections on February 23. Since Mr Musk supported the party in a December post, the percentage of voters who say they will vote for the party has increased from just one point to 21 %.
Nevertheless, the AFD is currently behind the Central Opposition Party, the Christian Democrats, but the Chancellor is second to the Social Democrats of Olaf Schools.
At the end of 2023, before several scams were shaken by the hard right party, including the legal punishment of a regional leader for using banned Nazi phrases, the party was voting at 23 %.
All other parties in Parliament have vowed not to include AFD in the formation of a new government after the election.
Recent polling Three -quarters of German Mr. Musk’s efforts to affect the German elections are “unacceptable”. The same survey found that 63 % of respondents believe that Mr Musk does not understand German politics.
