Elon Musk Interviews German AfD Leader Alice Weidel

Elon Musk held a controversial online interview with Alice Weidel, the leader of Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, where he controversially claimed that 'only the AfD can save Germany.' The conversation, which attracted considerable attention and criticism, included various topics such as energy policy, immigration, and foreign conflicts, including the war in Ukraine, with Musk expressing belief that former President Trump could quickly resolve the situation. Despite their light-hearted banter and agreement on several issues, Musk misrepresented facts, including incorrectly stating the legality of theft in California and mispronouncing Weidel's name. The live stream was monitored by EU officials due to concerns about Musk's influence on the upcoming German elections, as many view his support of the AfD as a potential violation of EU regulations. Critics, including French President Emmanuel Macron, have accused Musk of meddling in European politics, intensifying scrutiny of his social media platform X. Weidel, who faces low approval ratings, used the platform to portray herself as a victim of media censorship.
