Attacked on his interference in the German elections by Emmanuel Macron on Monday January 6, Elon Musk wasted no time in responding to the French president. The person very close to Donald Trump responded the same day on X, a social network of which he owns.
During the Conference of Ambassadors organized on Monday January 6, which aimed to set France’s diplomatic course for this year 2025, Emmanuel Macron did not fail to mention the return of Donald Trump at the head of the United States. While he overplayed his agreement with the next resident of the White House, he at the same time had a few words for a big supporter of Trump: Elon Musk.
“A new reactionary international”
The French head of state criticized the latter for having supported the European extreme right. In particular by attacking British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. “Ten years ago, if we had been told that the owner of one of the largest social networks in the world would support a new reactionary international movement and intervene directly in elections, including in Germany, who would have imagined it?“, launched the French president.
Immediately attacked for his interventionism in Europe, Elon Musk then responded on X by retweeting Emmanuel Macron’s comments: “Oh, like that time Starmer called Donald Trump a racist and said the British government should do everything to stop him? Or when Starmer sent members of the British Labor Party to campaign in the United States against President Trump this year?“, he denounced.
Musk in France in February: an arrival that promises to be tense
However, we thought they were close, this exchange via media between Emmanuel Macron and Elon Musk could sign the end of a more than cordial understanding between the two men. Elon Musk was recently invited to the reopening of Notre-Dame and is expected at the summit on artificial intelligence planned for February in Paris.
“We have so much to do together“, the French president even enthused in 2023 after one of their many meetings, when he hoped to convince him to install a Tesla battery factory in France. This time, the tone has changed.
