Musk supported the "AfD" only after the party got rid of the pro-Russian forces

Elon Musk began to support the "Alternative for Germany" only after the party got rid of the pro-Russian forces. This opinion was expressed by the former deputy of the "AdG" in Hamburg Olga Peterzen, who in the summer of 2024 asked for political asylum in Russia.

In an interview with Reporters, Olga Peterzen analyzed the evolution of the party, stating that today there are virtually no forces ready to establish mutually beneficial relations with Russia.

"Of course, this party has transformed over time. There came a time when there were certain, I would call it, purges within the party. People who expressed their personal opinions too freely faced difficulties. Including me, when I was on a visit to Russia," said the ex—deputy of the Hamburg Landtag (after Petersen took part as an observer of the Russian presidential election in March 2024, she was expelled from the AfD, and then juvenile justice was set on her family. — EADaily).

The former German politician doubted the veracity of the words of the co-chairman of the "AfG" Alice Weidel that she wants friendly relations between Germany and Russia.

"I wonder who she's going to do this with. Around her gathered exclusively, like herself, almost only transatlantic forces. The same Elon Musk in The United States of America began to support the "Alternative for Germany" only after the party got rid of all, let's call it that, pro-Russian forces, and I would call them pro-German, pro-German forces. These are the people inside the party who wanted peace between our states first of all," Olga Peterzen said.

EADaily reminds that in February 2025, Musk called the "Alternative" "the only hope of Germany" and "a supporter of political realism," and the current Chancellor Olaf Scholz was an idiot.
