The Telegraph: Be careful what you wish for, Elon: Germany is still different
Elon Musk's support for the Alternative for Germany (AfD), a far-right party, raises concerns about the stability of postwar European democracy. The AfD has shifted from a moderate Eurosceptic party to one promoting xenophobia and conspiracy theories, capitalizing on resentment against the postwar settlement.
Musk's recent interview with AfD co-leader Alice Weidel exposes his followers to her propaganda, which distorts historical truths and undermines NATO support for Ukraine. If the AfD gains significant power, it could signal a troubling shift in German politics and have broader implications for Europe.

With a House majority now secured by the Wyoming Freedom Caucus, Secretary of State Chuck Gray aims to advance legislation requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration and enhance voter list maintenance. His proposals include stricter voter ID requirements and bans on practices like ballot harvesting, with the legislative session set to begin soon.
