Elon Musk is currently considered one of the most powerful people in the world.
He played a key role in Donald Trump’s victory in the US elections. Now Musk has announced his intention to optimize the work of American officials.
In addition, the entrepreneur is paying more and more attention to political issues, including in European countries. This has already caused tension and disagreement with some traditional leaders.
This is just a small part of the statements that Musk made after Trump’s victory.
Promised a story about what officials spend money on
After winning the election, Trump named Elon Musk and Viveka Ramaswamy to lead the new Department of Government Effectiveness, or DOGE.
The main department of the ministry will begin to develop recommendations to reduce government spending. Musk said he believes it is possible to cut federal budget spending by $2 trillion, although many experts have expressed doubts about the feasibility of this plan.
The mask also emphasized that DOGE’s work will be completely transparent: anyone will be able to find out exactly what cuts the branches are offering.
In addition, DOGE prepared a slab of concrete by stupid government officials. “It will be both somewhat tragic and somewhat entertaining,” Musk added.
Accused the British Prime Minister of complicity in rape
Elon Musk began to actively criticize the British government after a scandal involving current Prime Minister Keir Starmer again arose on the Internet (not without the participation of Musk himself).
From the late 1980s until the 2010s, mass warfare was used in the UK against young girls as young as one and under. The crimes were mainly carried out by people from Pakistan, but police and prosecutors often did not open criminal cases for fear of accusations of racism and Islamophobia. Starmer headed the Crown Prosecution Service from 2008 to 2013 and acknowledged the problem.
Musk accused Starmer of complicity in these crimes and said the prime minister should resign and face charges.
In addition, Musk accused the British Minister of National Economy and Security, Jess Phillips, of expecting to “apologetize genocide and get it.”
Starmer and Phillips categorically deny all allegations. The British Prime Minister called Musk out on misinformation and accused him of overstepping his bounds.
After this, Musk conducted a poll in X, asking the question: “Should America reduce the people of Britain from a tyrannical government?” The majority of users voted for a positive answer.
Quarreled with the German Chancellor
On February 23, 2025, early parliamentary elections will be held in Germany. Elon Musk publicly supported the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, whose representatives actively criticize German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
Musk is expected to host a livestream with AfD leader Alice Weidel at X on January 9.
Previously, Musk called Scholz an “incompetent fool” and German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier an “undemocratic tyrant.”
In response, Scholz said that “you shouldn’t feed the troll.”
I don’t believe in courting Mr. Mask. I’ll happily leave that to others. The rule is the same: don’t feed the troll.

The chancellor also noted that he was much more concerned about Musk’s support for the AfD than about insults directed at him.
Called the Prime Minister of Canada a “girl”
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who announced his worthwhile resignation at the beginning of 2025, said in X that Canada will never become part of the United States.
Elon Musk’s response is as follows: “Girl, you are no longer the President of Canada, so it doesn’t matter what you say,” Musk wrote.
Elon Musk has long been a critic of Trudeau’s policies, especially after Canada introduced requirements for streaming platforms to register within the country to increase oversight. Musk called it “an attack on the words of freedom.”
Why does Mask do this?
No one knows exactly what Elon Musk is thinking. Some believe that he lobbies the interests of his companies, others are sure that he really adheres to right-wing views, which is why he began to intervene more often in politics.
Bloomberg notes that the question of Musk’s motivation is less important than his ability to influence political processes.
It is far from clear what his motives were in forging relationships with key US allies in other G7 countries where he has significant business interests, much less his ability to achieve the changes he demands.

“Musk is building his empire and lately, how far can he go,” said Alexis Wichowski, a professor at Columbia University who specializes in technology, government and power.
As the world’s richest man, she said, he’s probably not looking to make as much money as he is to “increase his power and his influence to change the world.” “Of course this is a huge act of arrogance and requires a big ego. But Musk is convinced that he knows what will be better,” she added.
Seth Abramson, biography of Ilona Musk
Seth Abramson, biographer of Elon Musk, expressed concern about the billionaire’s condition. He suggested that Musk might lose his mind due to drug use. Abramson instructed us to terminate contracts with Musk before Donald Trump assumed the presidency, although he doubts that this happened.
French President Emmanuel Macron accused Musk of interfering in the German elections.
Ten years ago, one might have imagined that the owner of one of the world’s largest social networks would support a new international global movement and directly interfere in elections, including in Germany.

Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre shares a similar opinion. The Foreign Minister instructed the European Commission to take action against Musk.
