Musk reposted a tweet about comments made by Palantir CEO Alex Karp. Karp stated that the rise of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party is due to "mass migration without the consent of the German people and without an honest discussion of the consequences." He believes the AfD's strength is far greater than it appears, with many Social Democratic friends who five years ago claimed they would never vote for the AfD now switching their allegiance to the party. Karp also noted that when the AfD's poll support reaches 40%, the actual support might be 10 percentage points higher, as some voters are unwilling to openly admit their support for the party.
