German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said billionaire Elon Musk supporting Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party is worrying. "AfD preaches rapprochement with Putin’s Russia and wants to weaken transatlantic relations," Chancellor Scholz claimed. Musk had called AfD the "last spark of hope" for the country, adding that the portrayal of the AfD as a right-wing extremist is false.
