Musk on the German traffic light exit: “Olaf is a fool”
Elon Musk, tech billionaire and supporter of Donald Trump, added his two cents on the German government crisis on Thursday. "Olaf is a fool", he wrote in German on his platform X (formerly Twitter).
Musk was responding to a post in which it was stated that the "socialist government" in Germany had fallen apart. He later confirmed that he was indeed referring to Chancellor Olaf Scholz, but did not comment on why he thinks Scholz is a fool.
Musk, the richest person in the world, is firmly aligned with the political positions of the American right and has supported Donald Trump's election campaign in recent months. With his return to the White House, Musk is likely to gain more influence over the American government.
Trump has held out the prospect of entrusting Musk with reducing US government spending. As a result, two companies led by Musk - the electric car manufacturer Tesla and the space company SpaceX - could benefit from US government spending in the future.
Tesla is a major investor in Germany with its European car plant in Grünheide near Berlin.
