It is noted that this move followed complaints from politicians in Germany that the X algorithm promotes far-right content ahead of the country's elections on February 23. At that time, Musk spoke out in support of the nationalist Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, claiming that it would save Germany.

When asked whether the expanded investigation was a response to a controversial interview Musk gave last week with AfD co-chair Alice Weidel, a Commission spokesman said the new inquiry helped "us monitor the systems around all the events that are taking place."
