There's not much to add here. Musk will issue the usual faux outrage that these characters are not nazis and that such claims are hyperbolic. But if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck... it just might be a duck.

The far-right Alternative for Germany party thanked the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, after decisively winning a key regional election on Sunday, sparking alarm across Europe and around the globe.
Ulrich Siegmund, AfD’s lead candidate in the eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt, praised Musk—who has openly advocated for the far-right, xenophobic party—for his support and “clear and highly important perspective on the political developments of our time—including here in Germany.” Siegmund wrote that if AfD ends up leading the state government, the party “would very much welcome the opportunity for strong and constructive cooperation,” adding that “Germany would once again be a place worth investing in.”
Siegmund’s post on the social media platform X, which Musk owns, came after AfD won just over 44% of the vote in the Saxony-Anhalt election, trouncing the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), led by Chancellor Friedrich Merz. CDU finished a distant second with 17.1% of the vote.
“Well done!” Musk wrote, in German, following AfD’s election win. The mega-billionaire has called AfD “the only hope for Germany.”
The nazi lovefest.
Gut gemacht!

Thank you, @elonmusk, for your support and for your clear and highly important perspective on the political developments of our time — including here in Germany.
If we take responsibility here, I would very much welcome the opportunity for strong and constructive cooperation.…— Ulrich Siegmund (@UlrichSiegmund) September 6, 2026
Indeed it is.
