“We reached an agreement…and a tweet changed all of it? Can you imagine what the next two years are going to be like if every time Congress works its will and then there's a tweet…from an individual who has no official portfolio who threatens members on the Republican side with a primary, and they succumb?”

– Richard Neal (MA-02, Democrat)

Elon Musk has called for Germans to vote for Alternative für Deutschland (AfD), the neo-Nazi party that has downplayed the Holocaust. In the upcoming elections, the AfD hopes to strengthen its hand in the Bundestag – and perhaps play a key role in the next government.

Members of the AfD spent Election Day at Mar-a-Lago and have underscored that they "hope to have a close relationship with the incoming Trump administration".

It’s not just Musk and Trump who are AfD supporters. So is the Saudi psychiatrist (!) who rammed his SUV into a Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany, speeding over 400 meters into the crowd and injuring 200 people and killing at least five.

Last I heard, no other German party was willing to be in a coalition with AfD, so they are very unlikely to play a role in the next German government.
