Macron Leads European Condemnation of Musk’s Political Meddling
European leaders, including French President Macron, Norwegian Prime Minister Støre, and a German government spokesperson, condemned Elon Musk’s interference in European democratic processes. Musk’s actions, including supporting far-right parties and attacking left-wing politicians via X (formerly Twitter), are seen as concerning interventions in upcoming elections, particularly in Germany. While Germany downplayed Musk’s influence, others expressed worry over his use of social media and economic resources to impact foreign politics. The criticism follows Musk’s endorsements of Germany’s AfD party and attacks on German leadership.
