German politicians decry Elon Musk's AfD support as 'intrusive' election influence
- U.S. billionaire Elon Musk drew criticism from German politicians from the government and opposition on Sunday for an opinion piece he wrote backing the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) which they deemed "intrusive" outside influence.
The article discusses the backlash against Elon Musk for his comments on the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, which German politicians have criticized as an intrusive influence on their national elections. Musk, who has a significant following on social media, suggested that the AfD, a far-right party, might be the only non-globalist party left in Germany, potentially influencing voters. This statement has drawn ire from various German political figures who argue that Musk's intervention could sway public opinion inappropriately, especially given the sensitive nature of the upcoming elections. Critics, including members of the German government, have accused Musk of not understanding the local political landscape and warned against foreign interference in domestic politics. The controversy highlights the growing tension between international tech moguls and national sovereignty in political discourse.
