Political tensions are rising in Europe as foreign tech companies, including Elon Musk’s social media platform X, are under scrutiny for potentially influencing European politics. Musk recently conversed with Alice Weidel, leader of the far-right Alternative für Deutschland party, and has openly supported the AfD ahead of next month’s elections in Germany.
According to Politico, 150 European officials monitored the discussion for compliance with EU laws, and an investigation into X is ongoing in Brussels. European leaders have condemned Musk’s involvement, and broader digital threats are impacting Europe.
