Summary
Germany’s far-right party, the AfD, is leveraging Elon Musk’s public support to boost its image and connect with Donald Trump’s incoming administration ahead of the February 23 election.
Musk live-streamed the AfD’s convention, where chancellor candidate Alice Weidel praised him and promised “large-scale repatriations” if elected.
The AfD aims to forge ties with both the U.S. and Russia.
While mainstream German parties reject collaboration with the AfD, its rising popularity (21% in polls) mirrors far-right success in Austria, which AfD leaders see as a model.
