If governments are not willing to do more than talk, he will keep doing it. Fine him, Ban him entry to the country, arest him, sue him.

I think they are banking in him being so cringy that not even the EU far right wants to associate with him.

It might tank support for the AfD.

I think you underestimate the far right from taking advantage of anything to gain more influence, and overestimate it's followers critical thinking. Many of them love Musk.
