EDIT: The first comments of Friedrich Merz are reassuring.
1. He proposed to make a coalition with SPD instead of AfD
2. He called Musk's behaviour interference
Wait and see what's coming out of this

I'm affraid conservatives first and AfD second is not a good prospect for Germany 😔. AfD performed quite well despite being second, and they will be natural allies for the CDU, now that historical parties don't care anymore to partner with the far right. This is really bad...
