French Prime Minister Francois Bayrou expressed concerns about Elon Musk's influence on democracies in a recent interview, stating, Elon Musk is creating a threat to democracies. Money should not give the right to rule consciences.
Bayrou's remarks followed his warning that France and Europe must resist President Trump's policies to avoid being "dominated, crushed, marginalized."
Musk, the CEO of Tesla and the world's wealthiest individual, has engaged in foreign political issues by endorsing a German anti-immigration party and commenting on British politics, calling for Prime Minister Keir Starmer to step down.
