Elon Musk sparked controversy by endorsing Germany's far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party in a social media post. The AfD, known for its anti-immigrant stance, has been making electoral gains despite being classified as a "suspected extremist party" in Germany. Musk's endorsement raised concerns globally, with commentators expressing worry about his alignment with a party that uses Nazi-era imagery. The Tesla CEO's political influence continues to grow, with suggestions that he could serve as House speaker in the U.S. and threats of tariffs against the European Union if it doesn't increase oil and gas purchases from the U.S.
