French President Emmanuel Macron has publicly accused Elon Musk of interfering in Germany’s upcoming snap legislative elections.
Macron’s allegations arise from Musk’s recent social media endorsement of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, which has sparked widespread controversy. The French leader criticized Musk’s actions as part of a “new international reactionary movement” aiming to influence European democratic processes.
Macron argued that such behavior threatens the sovereignty of European elections and called for a unified response from EU leaders.
Elon Musk, who owns X (formerly Twitter), has not directly responded to the accusation but has defended his platform’s commitment to free speech.
Analysts warn that public endorsements from influential figures like Musk could impact election outcomes, amplifying concerns about the role of social media in shaping political landscapes.
The controversy has ignited debates across Europe about the need for stricter regulations on political endorsements by high-profile individuals and corporations.
This unfolding drama highlights the growing complexities of global political influence in the digital age.
