Musk’s Far-Right Endorsement Sparks Outrage, Editor Resigns
Elon Musk’s op-ed in Germany’s *Welt am Sonntag* supporting the far-right AfD party sparked controversy, resulting in the opinion editor’s resignation. Musk’s commentary, his second endorsement of the AfD this month, characterized the party as Germany’s last hope for economic prosperity and cultural integrity. This action fueled a debate regarding free speech in German media, with internal criticism published alongside Musk’s piece. Despite the controversy, the *Welt* group’s leadership affirmed its commitment to free expression as a cornerstone of journalism.
