Norwegian PM Criticizes Elon Musk's Political Interference

Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre expressed deep concern regarding Elon Musk's involvement in foreign political affairs, particularly his endorsement of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. Støre highlighted the potential for such actions to disrupt democratic processes and stated that it is problematic for someone with Musk's influence and resources to meddle in the internal affairs of other nations. He emphasized that if Musk were to interfere in Norwegian politics, it would be essential for local politicians to collectively distance themselves from his influence. Støre's comments reflect a growing political backlash against Musk across Europe, where leaders fear his actions may constitute election interference. The situation has sparked discussions on the responsibilities of billionaires in democratic societies and their impact on international political stability.
