@Walter Hinteler,
Following the example of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD), US billionaire Elon Musk has now also insulted German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier. The X account of the Tesla boss, who is considered a close adviser to US President-elect Donald Trump, reads: ‘Steinmeier is an anti-democratic tyrant! Shame on him.’
Musk's comment refers to the post by an AfD-affiliated influencer who attacked Steinmeier after he had spoken out against outside influence during his speech on the dissolution of the Bundestag a few days ago.
The German head of state had also explicitly mentioned Platform X, on which ‘open and blatant’ external influence was being exerted.
