Elon Musk's Controversial Stances on Migration Spark Backlash and Ridicule

Elon Musk criticized Germany's support for migrants and promoted a far-right extremist party, suggesting that the German public should vote against the governing coalition. Germany recently funded nonprofit organizations that assist asylum-seekers, including one that conducts search-and-rescue operations in the Mediterranean Sea. Musk amplified similar criticism and shared a post from an account that frequently shares racist attacks on migrants. The post criticized humanitarian groups and called for the far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD) to win the elections. Germany's Foreign Office defended its support for migrants, stating that it is saving lives. Musk's comments reflect his recent shift towards right-wing causes and his campaign against "open borders" in the United States.
