Elon Musk is advocating for new elections in the UK and supporting Germany’s far-right, showcasing his growing influence in European politics.
He has called for charges against UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and has met with various far-right leaders, including Tommy Robinson and Nigel Farage.
The UK government has largely refrained from engaging with Musk's comments, while some ministers label his views as misguided yet acknowledge his potential influence.
Musk's support for leaders like Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni reflects his alignment with populist authoritarianism.
Critics are concerned that Musk's social media platform may be used to bolster far-right political movements and disinformation across Europe.
