Elon Musk isn't a citizen of any European country, but he's still doubling down on his support for the far-right in Germany and the United Kingdom, provoking uproar among officials who accuse him of stoking danger and meddling in other countries' business so that he can enrich himself and his companies.

Tech entrepreneur Elon Musk has caused uproar after backing Germany’s far-right party in a major newspaper ahead of key parliamentary elections in the Western European country, leading to the resignation of the paper’s opinion editor in protest.

In a barrage of posts rife with misinformation, he revived questions about a child sex abuse scandal, vilified the prime minister and defended a jailed far-right agitator.

Only 206,002 immigrants were working in the country with H-1B visas as of 2022, but at least 10 million illegally entered the country during Biden's presidency.
