Tesla CEO Elon Musk has publicly announced his message of support for Germany's far-right party after the UK.

Musk posted a brief message on his social media that only the 'German Alternative Party (afd)' can save Germany.

In response, the co-chairman of the "German Alternative Party" shared Musk's post and responded, "You're absolutely right."

Musk also shared a post from Germany's influencer against the environmental movement in response to the climate crisis.

Germany's dpa news agency evaluated Musk's remarks as "an indication that he intends to intervene in European politics."

Musk has also maintained ties with the far-right British Reform Party and has also been at loggerheads with the British government for its activities that appear to defend the riots during the anti-immigrant riots led by far-right British forces in July.

Recently, it was reported that $100 million could be donated to the British Reform Party, sparking controversy.

In July, the Reform Party circulated posts by far-right activists, raising suspicions that it was only hard-fought to suppress protests by far-right forces.

Anti-immigrant violence took place in the UK from late July to August in connection with a stabbing rampage in a children's dance class. Musk repeatedly poured out accusations against the Starmer government, including the violence on X at the time. He also agreed with the remarks by Nigel Farage, leader of the British Reform Party, a populist ally of Trump, that "Starmer poses the greatest threat to free speech in our history."

Nigel Farage, the leader of the British Reform Party, met at Trump's home Mar-a-Lago on the 17th of this month to agree on "British reform," and recently it was reported that he could donate $100 million (about 145 billion won) to the party.

Musk also shared a post by environmental activist German influencer Naomi Zeit. Zeit is a figure who has built his profile by speaking and speaking against the environmental movement to respond to climate change.

"The Christian Democratic Party (CDU) Friedrich Merz, who is mentioned as the next prime minister, is terrified by the idea that Germany should follow the example of Elon Musk and Javier Milay (Argentina's president)," Zeit said in the post. "Merz firmly rejects an approach that supports freedom and rejects any discussions with the AfD."The

dpa news agency evaluated Musk's remarks as "an indication that he intends to intervene in European politics."

On the 16th, the German Federal Parliament voted down Prime Minister Olaf Scholz's confidence in the Social Democratic Party (SPD), and as a result, the next general election has been moved up from September to February next year.

In a poll by pollster INSA (INSA) from the 8th to the 11th, AfD rose to 19.5%, ranking second after the sister party, the Christian Democratic Party and the Christian Socialist Party (CDU).

Musk also has a strong relationship with Britain's hard-right populist party, the British Reform Party.

Nigel Farage, the leader of the British Reform Party, met at Trump's home Mar-a-Lago on the 17th of this month to agree on "British reform," and recently it was reported that he could donate $100 million (about 145 billion won) to the party.
