Musk Calls Romanian Judge 'Tyrant' Amid Election Crisis

Elon Musk has criticized Romanian Constitutional Court chief judge Marian Enache, labeling him a 'tyrant' following the court's annulment of the 2024 presidential elections, citing potential Russian interference in favor of far-right candidate Călin Georgescu. Musk's comments came after Enache rejected U.S. pressure to allow Georgescu to run in a repeat election, stating that the election process had been compromised. U.S. Vice President JD Vance has also condemned the cancellation of the elections, arguing it exemplifies undemocratic practices among European governments. Vance highlighted that the lack of shared democratic values is a concern, especially concerning free speech and electoral integrity. The political environment remains tense, with Musk's vocal opposition drawing scrutiny for perceived interference in European politics. Both Musk and Vance's criticisms reflect broader concerns about democratic standards and electoral processes in Romania.
