Elon Musk subsidized Germany’s far-right alternative to the Party of Germany, known as the AFD, in an op-ed published Saturday in a German newspaper, taking a deeper interest in foreign policy, as the billionaire has a fixed fixture in Trump’s orbit.

Musk questioned the characterizations of the AFD as “right -wing extremist”, bringing out the fact that the leader, Alice Weidel, is gay and writes: “Does that look like Hitler like you?” Please!”

Musk wrote this op-ed in the Welt am Sonntag newspaper after writing in accusing Musk of supporting a “German neo-Nazi. ” . “party. “

In the newspaper piece, Musk accused Germany’s traditional political parties of becoming “comfortable with mediocrity,” including economic decline, writing that “the AfD can save Germany from becoming a shadow of its former self.”

The Tesla founder, who has also spoken out for anti-immigrant political parties in the United Kingdom and Italy, said he has the right to enter German politics because he has business in the country, adding a Tesla gigafactory in Brandenburg.

Commentary section editor Eva Marie Kogel resigned in protest after the piece was published, while the paper’s editor-in-chief designate, Philipp Bugard published a response that said “Musk’s diagnosis is correct, but his therapeutic approach, that only the AfD can save Germany, is fatally false.”

Germany’s national intelligence firm classifies the AFD as a suspected extremist and is monitoring the possible threats it poses.

Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., told CNN last week Musk’s political opinions carry heavy weight given his proximity to Trump, warning “what Elon Musk thinks tends to eventually be what the president of the United States thinks. And if the United States takes an official position in favor of neo-Nazis in Germany, I mean, it is absolutely catastrophic.”

The elected vice president, J. D. Vance also expressed his support for AFD, responding to articles on X that criticized the hard line position in the matter of immigration of the party as harmful, writing on December 21: “It is so harmful that other people control their borders. The point harmful is out of series. “

Musk wrote the article after Chancellor Gerguy Olaf Scholz’s coalition government collapsed earlier this month, prompting snap elections scheduled for Feb. 23. Musk’s article was published in a newspaper owned by Axel Springer Media Group, which also owns Politico. The AFD is fiercely opposed to immigration and has been accused of employing Nazi and white supremacist rhetoric, adds a crusade ad that appears in a naked white woguy that is addressed through a dark-skinned guy dressed in an Arab headscarf and urging Europeans to “vote for the AFD, so that Europe never becomes “Eurabia”. Musk, who has become a fixture in Trump’s looks since winning the November election and being named head of a newly created branch of government for efficiency, has made statements in aid of Europe.
