Elon Musk made a surprise appearance during Germany's AfD (Alternative fuer Deutschland) election campaign event in Halle in eastern Germany on Saturday, speaking publicly in support of the far right party for the second time in as many weeks.

The world’s richest man set out on a quest to boost the European powerhouse’s far-right opposition.

The tech billionaire doubled down on his allegedly antisemitic gesture with an attack on one of the world's most beloved women.

Musk's response to the accusations has included the complaint that the "legacy media" is trying to cancel him.

A gesture associated with the Nazis has a surprising history. But in Germany, there was little doubt about its meaning.
