Summary
Elon Musk criticized German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier on X, calling him an “anti-democratic tyrant” following Steinmeier’s speech opposing outside interference amid Germany’s political crisis.
Musk, who previously insulted German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, plans a public discussion with far-right AfD leader Alice Weidel, prompting accusations of endorsing far-right politics.
German Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck called Musk’s influence a threat to European democracy and urged action to limit his power.
Musk has also sparked controversy in the UK, aligning with right-wing figures like Nigel Farage and targeting PM Keir Starmer.

I think Trump and Elon are gonna have brain damage named after then.
If “anti-democratic” is on one side of of a scale, Steini is definitely on the opposing end.
Elmo should stop using ketamine instead of trying to destabilizing other countries.
Sounds like a badge of honor to me. Maybe it can come with it’s own blue checkmark
You don’t do what I say therefore you’re a tyrant! And you don’t allow me to say hateful and racist slurs therefore you’re not for free speech!
Imbecile. I hope he rots.
Do Germany have any kind of laws Elon just broke? Just asking.
“Steinmeier is an anti-democratic tyrant!” Musk wrote in English. “Shame on him.”
It’s Germany, not North Korea
Quick Google search:
" Disparaging the German president remains a crime, and doing so publicly or through the media can cost from three months to five years in prison."
Now, I don’t know if “tyrant” is strong enough word for that, but there is definitely a law he may break if he carries on with his insults.
Steinmeier: “Elon is a threat to European democracy”
Elon: “No, you are!”
Here’s the richest man in the world, but he still can’t buy better comebacks.
Just put out an international arrest warrant for election interference on Musk.
Wouldn’t that just mean he couldn’t visit Germany? I can’t possibly see any country actually arresting him and I don’t know if that would be enough for any kind of extradition.
Have you read the word “international” in my post? Theoretically, even the US would have to fulfil here, but I doubt they will serve justice.
Always blame others for what you are. They can only say “no you” which is a weak comeback.
Part of a democracy is that voters should be educated fairly on what they are voting on.
So Musk using his influence to meddle with this process is anti democratic.
There is a term for it: Foreign Election Interference.
That guy has so lost it, it would be really funny if it all wasn’t so serious.
Each country is a bit different, but only if you’re working class. Otherwise the world is one big oyster for a billionaire. Makes sense how he perfectly slots in to the worst elements in each country.

He’s no longer getting tax money for his idiotic projects. Weidel would sell her wife and suck him off if it helps her into power
Wow the President of the USA calling insulting the President of Germany? Wow would have thought?
Wrong CEO was cancelled.
Nah, the UHC CEO was a bag of dicks. The work just doesn’t stop at one.
