German Chancellor Olaf Scholz disregarded tech billionaire Elon Musk's backing of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. Germany's election is expected to be held early after the chancellor lost a confidence vote on Monday.

The tech billionaire who has already made a name in American politics offered his endorsement following a deadly German Christmas market attack.

Elon Musk, billionaire entrepreneur and owner of X (formerly Twitter), has ignited outrage after calling for German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s resignati.

Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Friday dismissed an assertion by Elon Musk that only a far-right party can “save Germany,” but said that freedom of opinion "also goes for multibillionaires.” Germany is expected to vote in an early election on Feb.

Musk was roasted on his own social media platform by a political scientist, a fellow billionaire and many others.

Musk has been amplifying right-wing, anti-immigration voices on X for years and has already questioned criticism aimed at the AfD back in June. In September 2023, he denounced Germany for giving money to charities and rescuing migrants in the Mediterranean Sea.

Elon Musk was blasted by German and U.S. lawmakers for backing a German far-right political party on X, formerly Twitter on Thursday.
