Elon Musk Criticized for Remarks on AfD Leader Alice Weidel
Elon Musk, the billionaire entrepreneur and owner of X (formerly Twitter), has faced backlash over his comments about Alice Weidel, the co-chair of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.
In an op-ed published in Germany’s Welt am Sonntag, Musk defended the AfD, asserting that the party is “not as extreme as critics claim.” He particularly referenced Weidel, pointing out her relationship with a same-sex partner of Sri Lankan origin.
