Maybe change up the algorithm first?” open image in gallery Musk posted the demand to his 209 million followers Others highlighted that Musk has recently used the platform to endorse far-right Alternative for Germany and said that “only the AfD can save Germany.” “You’ve just endorsed the German neo-nazi party,” another person said.
