Government spokesperson says freedom of speech ‘covers the greatest nonsense’ after Musk’s endorsements of AfD

“It is indeed the case that Elon Musk is trying to influence the federal election,” said the government spokesperson Christiane Hoffmann after Musk’s X posts and an opinion piece published at the weekend backing the anti-Muslim, anti-migration Alternative für Deutschland.
