The German government on Monday sought to downplay efforts by tech entrepreneur Elon Musk to get involved in the country’s general election campaign by again endorsing the far-right Alternative for Germany, or AfD, party.

Musk caused uproar over the weekend after backing the AfD in an opinion piece in a major newspaper, leading to the resignation of the paper’s opinion editor in protest.

    Good, hopefully it’ll get some results. We saw what happened in the US if no one speaks up about it, they’re drifting closer and closer to an oligarchy.
