Elon Musk, a close ally of President-elect Donald Trump, has endorsed Germany’s far right party following a deadly Christmas market attack. Musk called on German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to resign and threw his support behind the anti-immigration AfD party. The AfD is running second in opinion polls and could potentially influence the upcoming election. Musk, who has expressed support for other anti-immigration parties in Europe, has been increasingly influential in American politics. The German government acknowledged Musk’s posts but did not provide further comment. Musk has been critical of the German government’s handling of illegal migration and has supported similar parties in the past. Nigel Farage, leader of Britain’s right-wing Reform UK party, recently met with Musk and discussed potential financial support. Musk’s endorsements are seen as significant due to his close ties to Trump and his rising influence in various political circles.
