Like any good entrepreneur who found early success in one market, Elon Musk is now starting to expand to others. Yesterday, Musk—the entrepreneur turned Donald Trump megadonor—hosted a livestream on X with Alice Weidel, the leader of Germany’s far-right political party, Alternative für Deutschland, or AfD.

The EU is concerned over Elon Musk’s increasing involvement in far-right politics in Germany, the U.K. and elsewhere. Experts argue the tech billionaire will exploit increased polarization for economic and political gain.
