Macron Accuses Elon Musk of Interfering in German Elections and Backing 'Reactionary International'
Jan 6, 2025, 12:50 PM
French President Emmanuel Macron has accused Elon Musk, without naming him directly, of supporting a 'new reactionary international' and directly interfering in elections, including those in Germany's upcoming snap legislative polls next month. Speaking on Monday to French ambassadors, Macron denounced 'unacceptable interference' by 'destabilizing powers'. He stated, 'Ten years ago, who could have imagined that the owner of one of the largest social networks in the world would support a new international reactionary movement and intervene directly in elections, including in Germany.' Musk, owner of social media platform X, has recently expressed support for nationalist movements in Germany and the UK.
