Norwegian Prime Minister Criticizes Elon Musk's Political Interventions Abroad

Jonas Gahr Støre expresses concern over Musk's influence on international politics, citing risks to democratic norms and alliances.

Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre has voiced concerns about Elon Musk's growing involvement in the domestic politics of countries outside the United States.
Støre described Musk's actions, including his endorsements of right-wing parties in Germany and the UK, as troubling for democratic relationships between allied nations.
Musk has recently backed Germany's Alternative for Germany (AfD) party and criticized UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, calling for leadership changes in both countries.
Støre warned that if Musk were to interfere in Norwegian politics, the country's political leaders should collectively distance themselves from his efforts.
The remarks come as Musk plans to host a live discussion with the AfD's chancellor candidate ahead of Germany's February snap elections.
