Elon Musk, the tech billionaire, has sparked controversy by demanding the resignation of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. This followed a suspected attack at a Christmas market in Magdeburg, where two people were killed and many others injured. Musk took to his platform, X, to label Scholz an "incompetent fool." He also shared posts blaming "mass immigration" for the incident.

Musk's comments were met with criticism from German officials, including Health Minister Karl Lauterbach, who warned against radicalization. The Chancellor himself remained composed, emphasizing that free speech applies to billionaires as well.

Musk's involvement in political discourse is not new. He has been vocal about U.S. politics and controversial in his support for right-wing causes, aligning with Donald Trump. Musk's outspoken nature has drawn parallels with Trump, raising concerns about his influence on democratic processes.

The incident highlights Musk's growing political clout and his willingness to leverage his platform to influence events. As his comments continue to stir debates, the implications of his political engagements remain a subject of scrutiny.
