The tech entrepreneur and close adviser to Donald Trump Elon Musk has taken a stunning new public step in his support for the far-right German political party Alternative for Germany (AfD), publishing a supportive guest opinion piece for the country’s Welt am Sonntag newspaper that has prompted the commentary editor to resign in protest.

The commentary piece in German was launched online on Saturday ahead of being published on Sunday in the flagship paper of the Axel Springer media group, which also owns the US politics news site Politico.

Musk uses populist and personal language to try to deny AfD’s extremist bent and the piece expands on his post on the social media platform X that he owns, on which he last week claimed that “only the AfD can save Germany”.

    Dude Westerland made a Nazi war criminal mayor after the war and now are a luxury resort. Practically all non-affluent natives are living on the mainland and are commuting to the island to wipe rich people’s asses who faint at the sight of a carousal of punks.

    I’d say take both Föhr and Sylt and give it, shovel load by shovel load, to the Halligen so they can properly prepare for rising tides. Hooge deserves to have the highest peak in the whole state.
