GERMANY - The man likely to be the next German chancellor is out for revenge against Elon Musk. Friedrich Merz, the leader of the Christian Democratic Union and the front-runner in polls ahead of this month’s election, said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal that Musk must face “consequences” for daring to support a right-wing political party. “What happened in this election campaign cannot go unchallenged,” Merz said of Musk’s support for the AFD.
“It can be a political response. It can be a legal response,” he continued. “I want to analyze this calmly after this election campaign. The fact that someone from outside Europe intervenes in a national election campaign in this way is new.”
As Germany drowns under the strain of mass immigration and cultural disharmony, Musk has publicly expressed his support for the AFD and even made an appearance at their conference via video link. “I think it could decide the entire fate of Europe, maybe the entire fate of the world,” Musk said during his address. “That is the significance of this election. So that’s why it’s very important to talk to your friends and family and convince them to consider voting for AfD.”
