Weidel's recent appearance with Elon Musk has drawn further scrutiny and criticism of the party's agenda.

With over 325 signatories once controlling $57.5 trillion in assets, the initiative aimed for net zero emissions by mid-century. However, backlash from Republican lawmakers and criticism of its impact on energy prices have led to doubts about its future, especially as the political climate shifts under a potential Trump administration.

GB News: ‘It riles me’, admits ex-Labour adviser as he slams ‘terrifying’ AI remarks
Former Labour adviser Matthew Torbitt criticized Prime Minister Keir Starmer's recent AI announcement, calling his language "terrifying" and out of touch with public sentiment. Torbitt expressed concern that Starmer's pledge to "mainline AI into the veins of the nation" fails to resonate with a populace wary of artificial intelligence.
Starmer aims to position the UK as a leader in AI, supported by £14bn in private investment, with plans to expand AI capabilities significantly by 2030. The government is also establishing AI growth zones and a supercomputing facility to drive innovation and job creation.
