Germany Fumes Over Elon Musk's Alleged Election Interference | Vantage With Palki Sharma

Elon Musk has drawn the ire of German politicians after backing the Alternative for Germany party in the upcoming February elections. Musk's backing of the AfD has been criticised by both outgoing Chancellor Olaf Scholz, and opposition leader Friedrich Merz. Musk says he has skin in the game because of his Tesla Gigafactory near Berlin. Should Elon Musk be allowed to influence elections in foreign countries? Is there anything voters can do to get Musk to back off?

If the politicians had done their job well, would Elon's opinion ever matter at all?

[ravindranmokkilmaruthur]

This kind of interfering in another country's election is nothing when compared to what we saw in our country -

[anp]

When the labour party from the UK sent its workers to help Kamala Harris I didn't see this uproar....

[gerhardwessels]

Every person has the right to give his opinion and make his/her own intellectual choice - if my choice align with any one else it does not mean I got influenced by that person - it is merely the fact that we see the situation in the same manner.

[musicallyinclined]

But you had no problem with Taylor Swift endorsing Kamala Harris?

[yadolij]

You forgot to tell that the complainer interfer themselves.

[codinginflow]

Elon single-handedly saving one country after another

[ravindranmokkilmaruthur]

There is never a dull moment with Elon Musk -

[SapientiaInfinitum]

Voters won't care about Musk. Don't care about Celebrities. Voters do their homework. Politicians should stick to policy and ignore popular people.

[littleterry]

but hes right ...come to germany and u will understand ....

[PointingtoJesusChrist]

How is endorsing a party now election interference?

[Sha-tf]

He just gave a post. How can it be interpreted as Interference!

[subhashishbagchi]

Europe is now a joke, no one take them seriously 😅

[rjw]

As a German, I appreciate Elon's clear view on the political system that has brought damage to free speech and economic demise as well as deadly immigration problems. Non of the current parties have addressed those problems properly and the AfD party, who at least wants to work on the problems, get's ousted by the established politicians (one may ask "why?") So, I'm all in for Elon!

[DailyShortz]

Elon is a free guy can say whatever he want. lol

[BeyonceF.]

The EU like to talk about different countries elections, but they don't want to people to share their own opinion in their election.

[midasreal]

not germany nor the germans only the people getting attacked are fuming - the rest looks at this hypocrazy and laughs

[kippesolo]

Musk is not intruding on German Politics at all, he just said some nice things about the AfD, some German Politicians and Newspapers did not take that well and they talk nonsens now.
As you can see the AfD has alot of votes, rising in Power, the old political partys dont like it and tried to ban them, so its not a surprise they attack Musk now.

[mathewkyania]

media is going wild 2025 is going to be crazy

[Chloe_playz]

Elon can buy power in Germany 😂😂😂 just like in the US, he’s unstoppable
