Bill Gates Criticizes Elon Musk for Supporting Far-Right European Parties

The Microsoft co-founder called Musk's political involvement destabilizing and urged countries to regulate foreign influence in elections.

Bill Gates expressed alarm over Elon Musk's support for far-right political parties in Europe, including Germany's AfD and the UK’s Reform Party.
Gates described Musk's actions as 'insane' and accused him of engaging in 'populist agitation' that destabilizes political systems in other countries.
Musk has also faced criticism for fixating on a UK child abuse scandal, which Gates found perplexing given Musk's global business interests and responsibilities.
Gates suggested that countries implement measures to prevent wealthy foreign individuals from influencing their elections through financial support.
Despite his criticism of Musk, Gates remains open to working with U.S. President Donald Trump on health initiatives, including HIV research and funding.
