The European Union is deploying up to 150 experts in Brussels and Seville to monitor a livestream interview between Elon Musk and German far-right leader Alice Weidel. This initiative is in response to concerns that the interview may boost Weidel’s political influence ahead of Germany's elections. The Bundestagsverwaltung is also investigating whether the event could be classified as an illegal party donation. The EU's move has drawn criticism, with some describing it as a misuse of government resources.
