One of the most striking geopolitical features of the last few years is the rise in prominence of the South African-born tech billionaire Elon Musk after his surprising purchase of Twitter – now X.
Musk is leveraging his gigantic audience on the platform to freely comment on leadership, policy, and governance, defending common-sense policies, free-market principles and less regulatory intervention in business and technology.
He has quickly turned into a significant defender of free speech against governmental or judicial overreach.
Besides the monumental work he did in the magical Donald J. Trump presidential campaign, Musk is also not shying away from engaging foreign leaders over policy and free speech issues.

Many times, as with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Argentine President Javier Milei or Brexit hero Nigel Farage, the interactions are amicable and may evolve into business relations or even political support.
But many times, Musk can be adversarial against world leader that he feels are failing their citizens.
Musk clashed with Australian Globalist Prime Minister Albanese for his attempt to censor images of the stabbing of orthodox Bishop Mari Emanuel not only in Australia but around the world.
Elon Musk has also publicly criticized Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on several occasions, likening Trudeau to Adolf Hitler on his tyrannical repression of the Canadian trucker protests against COVID-19 vaccine mandates. He also recently called Trudeau an ‘insufferable tool’ who ‘won’t be in power for much longer’, after comments Trudeau made about Kamala Harris’s election loss being a setback for women’s progress.
Now, Musk is making striking political endorsements in Germany.
On the runup to Germany’s February election, Musk rejected the war-mongering of German mainstream opposition party CDU and its leader Friedrich Merz, and made a clear and unambiguous recommendation for the rightwing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party – one of the biggest bogeymen for the Brussels liberal establishment.

Elon Musk has harshly criticized German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, calling him a ‘fool’ (‘Narr’ in German) after the collapse of Germany’s traffic light coalition government, having often slammed the crippling, failed Globalist policies dealing with economic management, immigration, and the handling of the energy crisis.
Now, the question hanging in the air is if Musk will help the German opposition the way he has started to do with the upsurging British populist of the Reform UK.
Musk has had public spats with failing British Labour PM Keir Starmer, criticizing him over free speech, social media regulation, and political donations.
Musk’s repeatedly blasts UK’s policing and social media censorship. His criticism escalated now with his announced support for Reform UK – and rumored financial aid.
