Elon Musk’s recent political activity has drawn significant attention, including his endorsement of the far-right Alternative for Germany party ahead of the upcoming federal elections.
This move has faced severe backlash from global leaders, including British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who condemned the spread of “lies and misinformation,” Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, who labeled Musk’s political involvement as “worrying,” and French President Emmanuel Macron, who criticized Musk for supporting what he called “a new international reactionary movement.”
When asked on Tuesday about Musk’s political forays, U.S. President-elect Donald Trump offered a measured response: “You mean where he likes people that … tended to be conservative? I don’t know the people. I can say Elon’s doing a good job. Very smart guy.”
Trump continued, “I don’t know the people you’re talking about. I know he said some negative things about a couple of people that are running for office, but it’s not so unusual.”
The controversy surrounds Musk’s ownership of the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) and his decision to host a livestream alongside German far-right leader Alice Weidel. This has intensified calls for the European Commission to utilize its sweeping Digital Services Act to address what critics see as political interference and misuse of the platform.
