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.

      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.
