Government and opposition leaders call the tech billionaire's op-ed backing the anti-immigrant AfD party election interference: "Elon Musk is attempting nothing different than Vladimir Putin."

Elon Musk was accused by the Berlin government of trying to influence Germany ’s federal election with an article supporting a Far-Right party. Musk, who is set to serve Donald Trump’s new administration co-leading a Government Efficiency Department, endorsed the Alternative for Germany (AfD) as the European country’s last hope.

Elon Musk reiterated his support for the far-right Alternative for Germany party, or AfD, in a newspaper opinion piece published less than two months before Germans go to the polls.
