"Elon Musk: La triple amenaza de un magnate que se alinea con la extrema derecha y Trump" | Internacional | EL PAÍS English

El enfrentamiento entre Elon Musk y varios líderes políticos de la UE es sin precedentes. El duelo con la persona más rica del mundo representa un reto para la propia legislación europea. El emprendedor tecnológico está amparado por el principio de libertad de expresión. No hay duda de que tiene el derecho de expresar sus opiniones en público, una realidad que fue reconocida por la Comisión Europea el lunes.

However, his social media platform, X, is subject to the EU’s digital services regulation. Adding complexity to the situation, Musk is not only a far-right agitator and businessman, but also a figure poised to enter the government of the world’s leading superpower, the United States. This blend of roles, coupled with his open support for ultra-right movements across Europe, has prompted leaders such as Germany’s Olaf Scholz, France’s Emmanuel Macron, and the U.K.’s Keir Starmer to criticize him for foreign interference.

In theory, the legal separation between the various roles of Musk — the primary supporter of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump — appears clear. However, the situation becomes far more complex upon closer examination.
