German Chancellor Olaf Scholz says he's staying “cool” against critical personal comments made by Elon Musk. Still, he finds it worrying that the U.S. billionaire makes an effort to get involved in a general election by endorsing the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said he was staying "cool" in comments published by the German magazine Stern, after critical personal comments made by Elon Musk last year. Musk came under fire for backing the Alternative for Germany (AfD) in an opinion piece in a German newspaper in December.

The President of France, Emmanuel Macron, has accused the owner of social media platform, X, Elon Musk of interfering in European politics, including the German election. The French president disclosed this in a speech to French ambassadors on Monday.

While Elon Musk continues to interfere in European politics, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, dismissed the CEO's scrutiny: "Don't feed the troll."

Elon Musk has caused outrage in Germany by publicly backing the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. The Tesla billionaire called the AfD the country's "last vestige of hope" and invited its leader Alice Weidel to a live chat on X ahead of the general election in February.
