Elon Musk, the influential tech billionaire, is making waves in German politics with controversial remarks. His vocal support for the far-right AfD party and derogatory comments about German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier have drawn widespread criticism.
Musk labeled Steinmeier as an "antidemocratic tyrant," prompting outrage from German officials. SPD leader Rolf Mützenich and Interior Minister Nancy Faeser have strongly condemned his statements, calling them disrespectful and defamatory.
Critics warn of potential damage to German-American relations and accuse Musk of attempting to destabilize liberal democracies. Meanwhile, Musk's role as an advisor in Trump's administration raises concerns over conflicts of interest, given his substantial government contracts.
Moreover, his antics on his social media platform X, including changing his name to "Kekius Maximus" and endorsing controversial political figures, have only heightened tensions. As Musk continues to wield his influence across borders, the potential for further diplomatic fallout remains substantial.
