France’s Macron says Elon Musk ‘directly intervening in elections, including Germany’
French President Emmanuel Macron on Monday accused Elon Musk, the
billionaire owner of social media platform X, of intervening in
elections, including Germany’s snap legislative polls next month.
“Ten years ago, who could have imagined it if we had been told that
the owner of one of the largest social networks in the world would
support a new international reactionary movement and intervene directly
in elections, including in Germany,” Macron said in a speech to French
ambassadors, while also saying US president-elect Donald Trump “knows he
has a strong ally in France”.
