Musk, who spent many millions on Trump’s attempt to return to the White House, is poised to play a leading role in reshaping the U. S. government.
Elon Musk endorsed a far-right German political party, the latest in a series of posts by the billionaire to draw accusations of catering to antisemites.
Musk, one of the other richest people in the global and influential advisor of the president -elect Donald Trump, shared an article in his social network, X, on Friday morning through a German influencer on the right that comments on the cave Recent of the German government of the German government. The post has excited the leader of the Democratic Christian Union, a conservative party, for having said that it would not shape a coalition with the excessive choice of Right for Germany, known as AFD.
“Only AFD can save Germany,” Musk wrote.
Musk, who spent more than a quarter of one billion dollars in Trump’s good fortune to return to the White House, is about to play a main role in the transformation of the United States government under the administration of the elected president. His public comments this week played a key role in the tank of a bipartite agreement to avoid a government closure, and was appointed to co -direction the new government efficiency ministry, making great plans discounts on federal expenses.
The AFD, which is the highest vote percentage in the previous European Union elections this year, is known in Germany for its adoption of the extreme right policy, adding antimuse rhetoric and a pro-rusa and anti-EU position. Some of his politicians also minimized the holocaust. A German Jewish leader said that the good fortune of the party in the June elections “should stop all democratic forces. “
The German courts inflicted a fine to one of their leaders, Björn Höcke, in Sevl events to use the Nazi sentence, “Ales Für Deutschland”, or everything for Germany.
In the video Musk quoted, the influencer, Naomi Seibt, said that the Christian Democratic Union’s Friedrich Merz had rejected the far-reaching government spending cuts favored by AfD, as well as Argentine President Javier Milei and Musk himself.
Bill Kristol, the Jewish anti-trump curator, wrote in response: “The musk approves the German neo-Nazi party. ” Nov Pollak, ancient inventory market at the Washington Near East Policy Institute, wrote: “AFD is one of the maximum excessive parties in Europe, with many German political figures that indicate that it has links with Nazism. This is meat.
Since Musk bought the social network X, formerly Twitter, in 2022, his statements and associations with ideas and figures promoting antisemitic rhetoric have rattled Jewish communal watchdogs. He has allowed back to the platform some of its most extreme right-wing users, including Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes. He has expressed support for Israel and said he regrets amplifying antisemitic posts but also has threatened to sue the Anti-Defamation League for tracking extremist rhetoric on X.
Most recently Musk endorsed an interview conducted by Tucker Carlson of the economist Jeffrey Sachs, in which Sachs said “Israel has driven so many American wars” and that the U.S. “gave over Middle East foreign policy to Israel a long time ago, not to U.S. interest, but to Israel’s interest. That is the Israel lobby, and we don’t hear questioning of this at all.” Earlier this year Carlson, a far-right commentator, interviewed and praised a Holocaust denier.
