Elon Musk is backing the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), triggering an outcry in Berlin in the run-up to a critical snap election.

“Only the AfD can save Germany,” the billionaire X owner wrote on the platform on Friday in the latest of a series of endorsements of European far-right parties.

Musk has recently supported European populist-right politicians in increasingly clear terms, including Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloniand Reform UK leader Nigel Farage. Earlier this week, Farage boasted that Musk is “right behind” him — and raised the prospect that the tech tycoon would financially back his Reform UK party.

    I’ve been K-holing in a hot tub, still hard AF. Maybe if he would do ketamine and drive a cybertruck it would work but that would endanger others. It does sound like something he would do, take as much people down with him.

        I seriously don’t understand what happened there. I think there must have been other factors in play as well, I guess we’ll never know. John Oliver showed even coroners can be a scam in the US.
