Elon Musk will face consequences for meddling in Germany's election campaign, Friedrich Merz, the frontrunner to become the country's next chancellor, said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal published on Thursday.

The article from Reuters discusses comments made by Ricarda Lang, co-leader of Germany's Green Party, regarding Elon Musk's potential influence on German politics. Lang warned that Musk, who has significant business interests in Germany through Tesla, should not interfere in the country's political affairs. This statement was in response to Musk's previous comments on social media about German political issues, including his criticism of the government's policies. Lang emphasized that while foreign investment is welcome, any attempt to meddle in German elections or politics would face consequences. This comes at a time when Germany is preparing for the European Parliament elections, and the Green Party is part of the current coalition government. The article highlights the tension between economic interests and political sovereignty, especially in light of Musk's influential platform, X (formerly Twitter), where he often shares his views.
