  • Elon Musk helped Donald Trump win the elections in the US and is now allegedly interfering in European politics, as reported by American and British media. The Republicans have started referring to him as "our prime minister.

Elon Musk's recent political activities have stirred tensions between the United States and Europe, particularly highlighted by his interactions with European leaders and his influence on social media platforms. Musk, known for his leadership at Tesla and SpaceX, has been engaging in what some describe as political maneuvering, including his controversial decisions on X (formerly Twitter) regarding content moderation and free speech. His meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron and subsequent comments on European regulations like the Digital Services Act have raised concerns about his potential to sway political landscapes. Critics argue that Musk's actions could undermine democratic processes by promoting or demoting certain political narratives, while supporters see his involvement as a push towards more open dialogue and less censorship. This situation has led to a transatlantic debate on the role of tech moguls in politics, with European officials expressing unease over the influence wielded by figures like Musk in shaping public discourse and policy.
