A 50-year-old man from Saudi Arabia identified as Taleb A drove into the Christmas market in Magdeburg with the death toll rising to five.

The tech billionaire who has already made a name in American politics offered his endorsement following a deadly German Christmas market attack.

The controversial billionaire and increasingly close confidante of President-elect Donald Trump is now sticking his head into Germany's elections.

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.

Elon Musk was blasted by German and U.S. lawmakers for backing a German far-right political party on X, formerly Twitter on Thursday.

Musk said that ‘only the AfD can save Germany’ in a post on X on Friday night that provoked widespread backlash from politicians at home and overseas

Musk has been amplifying right-wing, anti-immigration voices on X for years and has already questioned criticism aimed at the AfD back in June. In September 2023, he denounced Germany for giving money to charities and rescuing migrants in the Mediterranean Sea.

Musk was roasted on his own social media platform by a political scientist, a fellow billionaire and many others.

In the wake of the tragic attack at a Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany, which resulted in multiple fatalities and injuries, billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has publicly called for German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to resign.

And users accused Musk, who had endorsed the AfD as the only party “capable of saving Germany,” of meddling. In the aftermath of the attack, Musk has criticized the attack’s coverage in the German media and dismissed the suspect’s support for AfD. Now some are claiming it’s Musk’s attempt to protect the party.

The ability of one billionaire supporter of the president to throw the government into chaos should make campaign finance reform a priority.
