American billionaire Elon Musk joined the congress of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party via video link, Die Welt reports.
According to Musk, the AfD party is Germany's main hope.
“It is very important that people in Germany are proud to be German,” the billionaire believes.
He noted that “German culture” is “thousands of years old,” as even the Roman commander Julius Caesar was “impressed” by the fighting spirit of the Germanic tribes.
However, according to Musk, instead, “the government is aggressively suppressing free speech.”
“The current German government is clearly not interested in the health and well-being of the German people. Therefore, the AfD must fight, fight, fight, especially for more self-determination for Germany and the countries of Europe and less for Brussels,” the developer emphasized.
Elon Musk's interference in the German elections – what is known
Olaf Scholz previously said that Elon Musk is a threat to European democracy because of his support for the far-right in Germany. According to him, such cases should be criticized.
At the same time, Business Insider suggested why Elon Musk would interfere in European politics. In particular, the publication's expert believes that Musk's motivation to comment on German party politics may be related to his experience in German business.
