BERLIN (AP) — Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Friday dismissed an assertion by Elon Musk that only a far-right party can “save Germany,” but said that freedom of opinion "also goes for multibillionaires.”

Germany is expected to vote in an early election on Feb. 23 after Scholz's three-party governing coalition collapsed last month in a dispute over how to revitalize the country's stagnant economy. Scholz is hoping to win a second term, but polls have shown the main opposition center-right Union bloc in the lead and the chancellor's center-left Social Democrats trailing well behind.
