The Conservative CDU won the 2025 German Federal Election on Sunday with the outgoing Chancellor’s party suffering its worst loss and the far-right party AfD making huge gains. The German election 2025 online reaction is wild with billionaire Elon Musk – who’s faced widespread criticism over his meddling in foreign politics – being both mocked and praised.

One user picks up on Musk’s Dodge failure last week.
This has been an absolutely disastrous week for Elon Musk—DOGE has completely failed in its mission so far, the AfD lost in Germany despite his full backing, and he keeps facing humiliation due to his own awful behavior. His private life is also a mess pic.twitter.com/BsdSFsbNLY

We kept the votes for the fascists of the AfD at 20%, with the highest voter turnout Germany had for 30 years.
We kept them there though the strong interference by fascists from everywhere.
Fuck you @elonmusk
Fuck you @JDVance
Fuck you Putin
Fuck you @AfD pic.twitter.com/Xnl0qeJVOk
Musk isn’t as popular as he thinks he is around the world.
Alice Weidel and the AfD Party didn't win Germany's election.

One user suggests to ignore the rhetoric about an AfD victory noting they underperformed despite backing from Musk and Twitter.
Don't listen to those bleating that the Afd has won a 'Victory' by getting nearly 20% of the vote in Germany! – they had MASSIVE publicity from Musk and Twitler and STILL OVER 80% of Germans voted AGAINST THE FASCIST SCUM!!! 👍 FUCK MUSK! FUCK FASCISM! pic.twitter.com/Nhlns7xMbj

Twitter reaction CDU win 2025
CDU and Trump’s Republicans not ‘in any way similar.’
Wrong fuckface.

Germany’s Conservative Party, or Christian Democratic Union (CDU) is not in any way similar to your conservative Nazi movement.
They are literally moderate Democrats who are, by the way, appalled at what’s happening in the United States. pic.twitter.com/faTru4x9v9
Trump not sure which party is which.
Donald doesn't even know the difference between AfD and CDU.

He thinks the party Elon was backing won 🤣🤣😩
The party that won thinks Donald is a twat pic.twitter.com/HZjImrTXot
