French President Emmanuel Macron has condemned Elon Musk's interference in European politics, particularly his support for the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.
French President Emmanuel Macron criticized Elon Musk for meddling in European political battles after his influence on the US elections. Macron expressed concern that Musk, owner of social media platform X, would support a new international reactionary movement and intervene directly in elections, including in Germany .
Musk wrote an op-ed in the German magazine Welt am Sonntag, stating he believed he had the right to speak candidly about Germany's political direction, advocating for the Alternative for Germany (AfD), a far-right party. Musk's commentary has been deemed vulgar, with him calling German Chancellor Olaf Scholz 'Chancellor Oaf Schitz' and responding to accusations of meddling with insults. Musk also boosted the UK's far-right Reform Party and attacked the center-left Labour Party, suggesting the U.S. should 'liberate the people of Britain from their tyrannical government.' He made inflammatory remarks about Labour's Jess Phillips, accusing her of being a 'rape genocide apologist.' Prime Minister Keir Starmer defended Phillips and condemned Musk's rhetoric as the 'poison of the far right,' stating that those spreading lies and misinformation are not interested in victims
