Since when did we decide it was normal for Elon to interfere in EU politics? He played a major role in trump election. But Europe and America are very different. Musk didn’t buy Twitter because he liked it; he bought it to control narratives and influence global politics. Now, with major business interests in Germany through Tesla, his involvement in EU politics is even more concerning. He doesn’t understand Europe its history, values, or complexities. His libertarian, Silicon Valley mindset clashes with Europe’s approach to governance. Yes, the EU needs reform, but the last thing it needs is interference from a billionaire with personal stakes in the region. Unlike the U.S., the EU has resisted billionaires shaping policy. It should stay that way. Musk’s influence isn’t just opinion it’s political and corporate interference. I hope Europe recognizes this before it’s too late. It’s quite crazy to me that we are all watching this happen and applauding it! It’s dangerous

What values and complexities are you referring to as collectively European?

When I say EU values and complexities,’ I mean the systems that prioritize institutions over individuals. Unlike in the U.S., where billionaires influence elections! EU relies on institutional checks and public scrutiny. Germany’s Mitbestimmungsgesetzworkers have seats on corporate boards, unlike the U.S., where CEOs hold unchecked power. Or France’s pension reform protests millions mobilized through political awareness, not because a celebrity told them to. Europe’s complexity comes from 27 nations balancing different legal, cultural, and economic systems. Coalition governments, proportional representation, and EU regulations demand nuance far beyond the simplistic, populist narratives common in U.S. politics.
