Musk, speaking live via video, called AfD Germany’s “best hope” ahead of the February 23 election, sparking cheers. He urged national pride over multiculturalism and highlighted the election’s global significance. His involvement drew criticism, with tens of thousands protesting AfD in Berlin and Cologne. Climate activist Luisa Neubauer accused AfD of “endangering lives.” Musk’s political actions, including his alliance with AfD leader Alice Weidel, have alarmed European leaders, with Germany accusing him of election interference.
