Musk's Post Sparks Anger in Germany, Politicians React with Outrage

In a recent post on X, Elon Musk sparked anger in Germany by stating that only the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party can 'save Germany'. This comment has been met with outrage from politicians across major parties, who have called it 'threatening', 'irritating', and 'unacceptable'. The German government has refused to comment on Musk's comments, but expressed concerns about X's development under Musk's ownership. The German people are set to go to the polls on February 23 after the collapse of Chancellor Olaf Scholz's coalition, and the country is still reeling from the aftermath of Scholz's government collapse. Last month, Musk tweeted in German that 'Olaf is a fool', further fueling tensions. The situation has raised concerns about the role of social media platforms in shaping public opinion and the potential impact of Musk's ownership on X's content moderation policies. As the country prepares for the upcoming elections, the controversy surrounding Musk's comments is likely to continue to dominate the headlines.
