Musk’s statements, made on his platform X, criticized Scholz as an "incompetent fool" and questioned the leadership of Europe’s largest economy. The attack, which involved a car ramming into a crowd, left at least two dead and dozens injured, according to German officials. Musk’s remarks immediately drew both condemnation and applause, underscoring his increasingly polarizing role in international politics. Adding fuel to the fire, Musk also voiced support for Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. “Only the AfD can save Germany,” Musk declared on X. The AfD, a nationalist party with anti-immigration policies, has surged in German opinion polls but remains shunned by mainstream parties. Germany is set to hold elections on February 23 following the collapse of Scholz’s coalition government, and Musk’s endorsement has sparked heated debate about foreign influence in domestic politics. While the German government acknowledged Musk’s statements, it declined to offer further comment.
