BSW-Chair Sahra Wagenknecht views Elon Musk’s sympathy for the AfD as astonishing. “Elon Musk has given the AfD a lot of public attention” Wagenknecht told the “Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland” (Friday edition). “But one should already be thinking about why a elbow-millionaire like Elon Musk, who primarily wants to pay less taxes and take less consideration of the general public, is so enthusiastic about the AfD.”
The AfD “does not stand for a return to the German success model of a social market economy with a strong middle class and social cohesion” Wagenknecht said. “The society that Trump, Musk, and the AfD are engaging in is a ruthless society in which large corporations and billionaires can disassociate themselves from any responsibility for the common good and shred social rights.
