Tech billionaire Elon Musk livestreamed his chat with a leader of Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany party.
Elon Musk, the owner of X Corp, recently used the platform's livestream feature to engage with and amplify the views of German far-right leader Björn Höcke, just days before a crucial regional election in Germany.
