Germany's Chancellor Olaf Scholz's spokesperson emphasized that Elon Musk's influence on German voters is exaggerated, stating, "The normal people, the sensible people, the decent people are far in the majority in this country." This remarks reflects a belief in the resilience of the electorate against outside influence.
The political landscape is highlighted by Musk's controversial actions, including calling German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier a 'tyrant' and planning a meeting with the far-right AfD leader Alice Weidel. The German government criticized the notion that Musk could significantly sway opinions in a nation of 84 million.
French President Emmanuel Macron expressed disbelief at Musk’s influence, questioning, "who could have imagined it... that the owner of one of the largest social networks would support a new international reactionary movement and intervene directly in elections, including in Germany?" This comment raises concerns about social media's role in political elections.
