" In the new year, Musk is flexing his political muscle on the global stage as well."

Farage, the leader of Reform UK, told the BBC that he and Musk discussed money, perhaps up to a $100 million donation to the party."
" As he injects chaos into other countries’ political systems, Musk has faced fierce criticism for elevating far-right figures who have made racist comments."

“I find it much more worrying than such insults that Musk is supporting a party like the AfD, which is in parts right-wing extremist, which preaches rapprochement with Putin’s Russia and wants to weaken transatlantic relations,” Scholz said."
