Musk uses X livestream to amplify German far-right leader's views ahead of an election

Elon Musk livestreamed his chat with a leader of Germany’s far-right party, using the power of his social media platform, X, to amplify the party’s message ahead of an upcoming national election. More than 200,000 accounts tuned into Thursday's livestream, which raised concerns across Europe about the world’s richest man trying to influence foreign politics. The Tesla chief executive, who helped reelect Donald Trump in the United States, spoke with Alice Weidel, a co-leader of the Alternative for Germany party and its candidate for chancellor. They agreed that Germany's taxes are too high and that there is too much immigration. Musk said he was “strongly recommending” that Germans vote for Weidel's party in next month's election.
