On Saturday, January 25, Elon Musk joined the launch of the far-right AfD (Alternative for Germany) election campaign by speaking at its congress. According to him, the AfD is the best hope for Germany.
This is reported by Die Welt.
The famous billionaire spoke via video link. In particular, in his address, Musk confirmed his support for the Alternative for Germany and also mentioned Julius Caesar.
“German culture is thousands of years old. Even the Roman general Julius Caesar was impressed by the will of the Germanic tribes to fight,” he said.
According to Musk, AfD leader Alice Weidel would be very useful to Germany as chancellor. In addition, the businessman accused the current German government of not being interested in the health and well-being of the German people, but instead aggressively suppressing freedom of thought, which is why the AfD party must fight.
“It is very important that people in Germany are proud to be German,” Musk added to applause from about 4500 Alternative for Germany supporters.
Federal elections in Germany
It should be noted that the Bundestag elections will be held next month, on February 23. The intensive phase of the election campaign has now begun. According to polls, the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) continues to lead by a large margin over the AfD, while the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) led by Christian Lindner – the party from which Olaf Scholz is once again running for Chancellor of Germany – has to worry about getting into parliament.
We will also recall that on December 20, 2024, billionaire Elon Musk supported the AfD party. In January, he conducted an online broadcast on the social network X with the party leader.
