Musk and Germany’s election – level 1

Musk and Germany s election

06-01-2025 15:00

Germany says that Elon Musk is trying to change their elections. Elon Musk is the boss of social media platform X.

Musk likes the far-right AfD party on X. He says that only the AfD can save Germany. Authorities are watching the AfD. They worry that the party has extreme ideas.

Germany will vote on February 23. The government breaks up last month. Chancellor Olaf Scholz talks to people. He tells people to vote and not believe what social media says. Germany needs fair elections.

The government is worried about false information on X. But they still use it to talk to people.

Difficult words: elections (when people vote to choose leaders), far-right (having strong opinions about politics or religion), extreme (strong or very unusual).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

What concerns do German authorities have about the AfD party that Elon Musk supports on social media platform X?
