Elon Musk hosts leader of Germany’s far-right AfD on X ahead of election

Al Jazeera  

Billionaire’s interest in Europe divides opinion – while some leaders raise alarm, Italy’s PM Giorgia Meloni insists there is ‘no danger’. Elon Musk has urged German voters to get behind the far-right Alternative for Germany in next month’s national election during a broadcast with the party’s leader. Musk and Weidel agreed that Germany was hamstrung by a “crazy” energy policy, excessive bureaucracy and uncontrolled immigration, comparing the media’s treatment of the AfD to Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler’s treatment of pro-Jewish voices in the 1930s. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has accused Musk of undermining democracy, without directly naming him, while France’s foreign minister urged the European Union to use its laws more robustly to guard against outside interference. “Is the problem with SpaceX that it’s a private company, or is it Elon Musk’s political ideas?” Meloni asked.
