Alice Weidel's recent live discussion with Elon Musk failed to engage effectively, leading to a lackluster 70-minute conversation.
Despite critiques of her performance, many believe the AfD's support could increase as they prepare for the upcoming federal elections.
Weidel's claims during the chat, including misinformation about Germany's nuclear policy and migration history, have drawn criticism.
Historical revisionism and provocative statements have not significantly harmed Weidel's standing within the party, suggesting a resilience amidst controversy.
Polls indicate rising support for the AfD, with their base expanding to include younger, educated voters, emphasizing the party's growing influence.
