American entrepreneur Elon Musk posted on the social network X that only the party “Alternative for Germany“ (AfD) can “save“ the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG). Musk expressed his opinion in response to a post by a political activist who criticized the candidacy of Friedrich Merz for Chancellor of the Union (CDU/CSU), calling it “terrible”, reports Focus.
In his post, the activist questions whether Germany should follow the example of Musk and Argentine leader Javier Mejli, adding that Merz refuses to engage in dialogue with the “Alternative for Germany“.
In response to Musk's comment, Alice Weidel, co-chair of the AfD party and candidate for chancellor of Germany, said that Musk was “absolutely right“.
