Tycoon tells 4,500 people at campaign event in Halle to be proud of German culture in speech via video link

Elon Musk made a surprise appearance during Germany’s Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) election campaign event in Halle in eastern Germany on Saturday, speaking publicly in support of the far-right party for the second time in as many weeks.

"It’s good to be proud of German culture, German values, and not to lose that in some sort of multiculturalism that dilutes everything,” Musk said.

Note that Musk’s citizenship include South Africa, Canada (from 1989) and United States (from 2002)

    Why should this prevent a ban?

    It makes no sense at all and this ruling of our supreme court enabled the Nazis to get where they are today.

    First they where too small to be banned. Now they are too big to be banned because politicians fear their voters. All the while they get subsidized from our taxes and get ample time on TV and in the press because they are a legal party and they are not banned. It’s crazy yet here we are.

      The AfD is not too big to be banned, some politicians are just cowards or secretly sympathetic to the AfD.

      I’m talking legal requirements for a party ban, not why members of parliament don’t want to start the process.
