Tech billionaire Elon Musk is preparing to host a live-streamed chat with a leader of Germany’s far-right Alternative for Germany party, amplifying concerns across Europe about potential meddling in the upcoming national election.

Mr Musk worked last year to help re-elect Donald Trump in the United States. Now Mr Musk, in control of an influential social media platform that often spreads disinformation, is using it to endorse the far right in Germany ahead of the February 23 election.
