Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Friday dismissed an assertion by Elon Musk that only a far-right party can “save Germany,” but said that freedom of opinion "also goes for multibillionaires.” Germany is expected to vote in an early election on Feb.

Elon Musk, billionaire entrepreneur and owner of X (formerly Twitter), has ignited outrage after calling for German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s resignati.

Musk has been amplifying right-wing, anti-immigration voices on X for years and has already questioned criticism aimed at the AfD back in June. In September 2023, he denounced Germany for giving money to charities and rescuing migrants in the Mediterranean Sea.

The tech billionaire who has already made a name in American politics offered his endorsement following a deadly German Christmas market attack.

Musk was roasted on his own social media platform by a political scientist, a fellow billionaire and many others.

Germany’s intelligence agency has monitored the party, known as Alternative for Germany, for suspected extremism.

Musk's increased political and economic influence has prompted comparisons to George Soros, but supporters say Musk is a different case.

In the wake of the tragic attack at a Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany, which resulted in multiple fatalities and injuries, billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has publicly called for German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to resign.

Elon Musk was blasted by German and U.S. lawmakers for backing a German far-right political party on X, formerly Twitter on Thursday.

Amid criticism from Bernie Sanders for undermining democracy, Elon Musk endorses Germany’s Alternative for Germany party, known for its neo-Nazi ties and extremist platform.
