Catherine Field: Europe Correspondent on Elon Musk weighing in on German politics

Elon Musk has continued to weigh into German politics ahead of next month's election.  The billionaire has made a video appearance at a rally for far-right party Alternative for Germany.  Musk has previously written an op-ed supporting the party, and hosted its leader Alice Weidel in an interview on X.  Europe Correspondent Catherine Field told Mike Hosking that it looks as if Musk is having an effect, primarily due to his actions being rebroadcast on his X, which has a far greater reach than German mainstream media.  She says that there has been an acceptance among the mainstream parties that far right votes wouldn’t be accepted to pass legislation, but the leader of the centre-right CDU said he was prepared to accept far-right support in his crackdown on migrants.   LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
