Elon Musk, often in the spotlight for his business ventures, is now making headlines for his political stance in Germany. The billionaire entrepreneur, poised to join President-elect Donald Trump's administration, has declared his support for the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.

Musk's endorsement comes at a pivotal moment, as Germany braces for an upcoming election following the dissolution of its centre-left coalition government. The AfD, second in opinion polls, poses a challenge to achieving a majority from either major centrist coalition.

The German government acknowledged Musk's comments but refrained from an official response. This move is consistent with Musk's backing of anti-immigration parties across Europe, stirring considerable debate among international and political circles.
