Elon Musk, the world’s richest man and a close adviser to President-elect Donald Trump, on Friday (Saturday AEDT) endorsed Germany’s far-right party, a group with ties to neo-Nazis whose youth wing has been classified as “confirmed extremist” by German domestic intelligence.

“Only the AfD can save Germany,” Musk posted to the social platform X, referring to the anti-immigrant party, the Alternative for Germany, by its German initials.
