  • In his opinion piece, Musk called the AfD "the last spark of hope" for Germany and argued in favor of the party's positions on energy, economic recovery and migration, saying they reflect "the principles that made Tesla and SpaceX successful," according to a Euronews translation.

The article from Newsweek discusses Elon Musk's influence on the German election, particularly through his social media platform, X (formerly Twitter). Musk's engagement with German politics has been notable, especially after he acquired X, where he has actively shared his views on various issues, including free speech and immigration. His posts have resonated with some German voters, particularly those on the right-wing spectrum, who feel that mainstream media and political parties are not addressing their concerns. Musk's comments on topics like Germany's energy policies, the rise of the AfD (Alternative for Germany) party, and his critique of what he perceives as excessive political correctness have stirred debate. While some see his involvement as a breath of fresh air, bringing attention to overlooked issues, others criticize him for potentially swaying public opinion with his significant platform, especially given his outsider status in German politics. This has led to discussions about the role of international tech moguls in national elections and the impact of social media on democratic processes.
