With its campaign support in Europe, technical billionaire Elon Musk has collected a lot of dust in recent weeks. In particular, the advertisement takes care of the AfD, some of which are classified as Right -Wing Radical, provides vertebrae. Microsoft founder Bill Gates now expressed a strong criticism of the interference in Europe and described the influence of Musk as “completely crazy”.
In an interview with the British “Sunday Times”, Gates advises to take protective measures to prevent “super -rich foreigners” from distorting elections. The background is the repeated political statements of Musk on his platform X (formerly Twitter).
Musk complained “Too much focus on earlier debt”
His support of right -wing extremist actors in Great Britain and Germany is particularly criticized. For example, Musk had called for the release of the detained British right-wing extremist Tommy Robinson-a-position that himself had the Brexit-Hardliner Nigel Farage.
Musk also caused a stir in Germany when he was involved in the election campaign and opened behind the AfD. In an integration in an election campaign event, he complained about an “too great focus on earlier debt” in Germany – a statement that caused international indignation.
Gates: “SuperSchlaer” operates “populist agitation”
Despite the enormous criticism, Gates also found praising words for Musk: “He is super slow,” he said, but added, “If anyone is super sloppy, and he should think”.
Musk can “destabilize” the political situation
The debate about the political influence of Musk has received explosiveness, especially in the United States. After sharing the Democrats during the presidential election in 2024, Donald Trump appointed him a special consultant – with the task of developing drastic austerity measures.
It is still to be seen whether and to what extent the political influence of Musk continues. But for Gates it is clear: “It is really insane that he can destabilize the political situation in other countries.”
