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?

It is dangerous indeed. For this reason active resistance and counter narratives are necessary. 👍

Agreed but it’s not Elon’s fault that he can do it. It’s a question of regulation and enforcement to reign in social media giants. That said, are they really shaping narratives or exploiting the existing issues which are just a lot more visible than even 15 years ago?

His involvement in US politics is also kind of concerning. He should stay away from politics.
