Elon Musk has expressed support for Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany party, stating that they are the "last spark of hope" for the country. This endorsement has been met with criticism from German government officials, who accuse Musk of trying to sway the outcome of the upcoming federal election. The leading candidate for chancellor, Friedrich Merz, has denounced Musk's interference as "intrusive and pretentious".
