Elon Musk congratulated Alternative for Germany (AfD) on their election victory in the state of Sachsen-Anhalt, posting “Well done” on X in response to a message from AfD leader Alice Weidel. Weidel had congratulated the party’s candidate in Sachsen-Anhalt, Ulrich Siegmund, on the election results, prompting Musk’s reply. Siegmund subsequently thanked Musk for his support. While the results from the East German state of Sachsen-Anhalt are not yet final, preliminary results released Monday morning indicate AfD received 43.8 percent of the vote. This makes AfD the largest party in Sachsen-Anhalt, though they did not secure a parliamentary majority. The election outcome is drawing international attention due to Musk's public endorsement.
