Summary
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz dismissed Elon Musk’s endorsement of the far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party, stating it was important to not “feed the troll.”
Musk, who claimed “only the AfD can save Germany,” sparked backlash from German officials and the public, who called Musk’s comments “problematic” and reflective of “tech kings’ world domination fantasies.”
A German government spokesperson added that “freedom of expression also includes the greatest nonsense.”
Musk is reportedly set to meet with AfD leader Alice Weidel, escalating controversy over his political influence in Germany.
