“Steinmeier is an anti-democratic tyrant! Shame on him”.
Steinmeier’s office said it had seen the post but would not comment on it.
Musk’s comment refers to a post by an influencer close to the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, who criticized Steinmeier after speaking out against outside influence in the upcoming election. In parliament, Steinmeier explicitly mentioned the social network X, which is owned by Musk.
Musk, who is known for frequently posting provocative messages on his platform, is stirring up debate in German politics as the country prepares for elections on February 23.
At the weekend, he promoted the AfD again in an opinion column for the newspaper Welt am Sonntag. After the collapse of the three-member coalition government in November, the head of Tesla wrote about Chancellor Olaf Scholz in German: “Olaf ist ein Narr” (Olaf is a fool).
In a previous post, he predicted that Scholz would lose the election and misspelled his name. Musk’s account has more than 200 million followers.
