Elon Musk defends Germany’s anti-immigration AfD party following EU election results

 

Elon Musk took to his platform X following the German election results in support of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. In his post, which is a reply to pro-AfD activist Naomi Seibt, he asks why there is such a negative reaction to the party and states his belief that the party has sound policies.

 

“Why is there such a negative reaction from some about AfD? wrote Musk, adding: “They keep saying ‘far right,’ but the policies of AfD that I’ve read about don’t sound extremist. Maybe I’m missing something.”

My name is Naomi Seibt,
I am from Germany,
and I voted for the #AfD.

The post comes following AfD’s strong showing in the German elections, where the party scored 16 percent of the vote and became the second-strongest party in Germany. In the same thread, Professor Stefan Homburg stated that the AfD is not any different than the CDU party in the 1990s before it became a “green lockdown party” under former Chancellor Angela Merkel, to which Musk replied: “Ok.”

 

Why is there such a negative reaction from some about AfD?

They keep saying “far right”, but the policies of AfD that I’ve read about don’t sound extremist. Maybe I’m missing something.
