Elon Musk has sparked backlash in Germany after calling Chancellor Olaf Scholz an 'incompetent fool' and endorsing the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.
Musk's comments have triggered criticism in the country, with German health minister Karl Lauterbach stating that he should not interfere in German politics.
The AfD party, although initially established as an anti-euro party, has shifted its focus to immigration and is seen as increasingly far-right.
Musk has shown increasing support for right-wing leaders such as Italy's Giorgia Meloni and the UK's Nigel Farage.
