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.

Musk's intervention in German politics comes days after he met British lawmaker Nigel Farage at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida to discuss bankrolling his right-wing populist Reform U.K. party with a reported $100 million donation — although details of any such arrangement have not been confirmed.

Musk’s tweet was promoting another tweet from Naomi Seibt a German climate change denier who rose to prominence as the anti-Greta Thunberg. Seibt has also promoted conspiracy theories and been accused of being antisemitic, according to the Guardian, a claim she denies.
