Elon Musk has endorsed the hard-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party in a guest opinion piece for the Welt am Sonntag newspaper, prompting its opinion editor to resign in protest.
In the article the tech billionaire explained why he had posted on the social media platform X last week that “only the AfD can save Germany”.
He wrote: “The portrayal of the AfD as right-wing extremist is clearly false, considering that Alice Weidel, the party’s leader, has a same-sex partner from Sri Lanka. Does that sound like Hitler to you? Come on!”
