Elon Musk Involves Himself in European Politics

Elon Musk has shifted his political focus to Europe, particularly backing right-wing movements in the UK and Germany. He has endorsed Reform UK, a populist party led by Nigel Farage, and expressed his willingness to financially support them, with Farage calling Musk a 'bloody hero'. Musk has criticized UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, labeling the country a 'tyrannical police state' and suggesting it is on the brink of civil war amid increasing anti-immigration sentiments. In Germany, Musk supports the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), which has gained significant traction in recent elections and is expected to perform well in the upcoming Bundestag elections. The German government has accused Musk of attempting to influence the electoral process. This shift reflects Musk's embrace of conservative stances on various issues, echoing his involvement in politics in the US.
