    *[…] Musk, a key ally of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, has been on a social media rampage over the holidays, endorsing the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, repeatedly denouncing the U.K.’s Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer and even torpedoing his relationship with British hard-right chief Nigel Farage.*

    *“I find it worrying that a man with enormous access to social media and large financial resources is so directly involved in the internal affairs of other countries. This is not how it should be between democracies and allies,” Støre told public broadcaster NRK.*

    *[…] German political leaders have argued that the Tesla entrepreneur’s AfD endorsement amounted to election interference. Musk has announced he will hold a live discussion this week with the AfD’s chancellor candidate, Alice Weidel, on X ahead of Germany’s snap election on Feb. 23.*

  4. I don’t think anybody cares about what Musk is saying. He is influencial only to americans and crypto enthusiasts

  5. Of all the works of fiction to come true in recent years, such as *Contagion*; elements of *1984*; *I, Robot* etc., I did not have *Johnny English Strikes Again* on the cards. 

  6. Oh it’s okay, he’s a mere “attention whore” as the average redditor likes to mention. He’s not a threat to democracy people, like, at all, no worries!

    If you ignore it, you’re complicit to it.

  9. Yeah no shit its worrying. I’m starting to think that guy thinks he’s King of the World.

  10. I used to struggle with gay thoughts until I turned them into gay actions and started having gay sex with strangers

  11. Honestly I think with the way Musk is going at the moment Trump must be starting to see him as a liability. I think a split is fairly likely in the near future and I can’t imagine what sort of melt down Musk is going to have over that. Musk is too crazy even for Trump and he is not going to like how much attention Musk is getting. It can only be a matter of time before this all ends in tears. I for one can’t wait. I think this will be quite entertaining. Trump is the guy I don’t think Musk can afford to go full crazy on.

  12. When EU says anything about Georgia it is fine. When Musk says anything about Europe it sparks anger. This is the food the politicians served themselves and now they refuse to eat it.

  13. Why don’t they just name him for what he is? A bored rich boy with no original idea to his name who is controlled by Russia because he thinks he’s a movie villain and not realizing he’s a real villain but not the cool kind with principles.
