Analysts like Constantine Von Hoffmeister, author of Esoteric Trumpism, emphasize Musk’s influential role in shaping the political discourse. Musk is seen as a “visionary” whose voice can disrupt the staid narratives of the political elite. His support for the AfD is viewed as a “game-changer,” rallying support and pushing the party’s surging popularity further upward.
Recent polls reveal a significant shift: the AfD now garners around 21% support, surpassing the Social Democrats at 16%. Meanwhile, the traditional center-right CDU—once led by Angela Merkel—remains at 29%, while environmentalist Greens have fallen to 14%. This polling trend suggests a fundamental realignment, with the right-wing parties, especially the nationalist populists, gaining ground rapidly.
