Martina Navratilova slammed the US voters as, according to her, they could not stop Elon Musk from wanting to "buy the world." The tech mogul was heavily involved in campaigning for President-elect Donald Trump and is reportedly making his way into British and German politics.
An X account remarked on Musk’s immense influence by referring to him as "President Musk," highlighting the power he seems to wield. They noted that after playing a pivotal role in shaping US politics, Musk is now focusing on Europe.
Navratilova, an American tennis legend, shared those views and wrote:
"Musk wants to buy the world. What or who will stop him? Voters. Though that didn’t work out so well here. Hopefully Brits and others are smarter than us Americans…"
Musk, the world’s richest man and a key supporter of President-elect Trump, appears to be expanding his political influence beyond the USA. Musk is now making headlines in European politics.
Recent reports suggest that the billionaire is in discussions to donate up to $100 million to the UK’s Reform Party, led by Nigel Farage. After an hour-long meeting at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, Farage described the encounter with Musk as "great" and "historic."
Speaking to the BBC, Farage confirmed that financial support was a key topic, with Musk expressing dissatisfaction with Britain’s Labour and Conservative parties. Farage added that Musk is "fully, fully behind us," signaling strong alignment with the party's vision.
Musk's political maneuvers extend further, as he recently endorsed Germany’s far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, known for its anti-immigration stance and ties to extremism.
"Only the AfD can save Germany," Musk posted on X, his social media platform.
As Musk, whose net worth is close to $440 billion, transitions from a tech mogul to a political influencer, his involvement in both American and European politics raises questions about the global implications of his vast wealth.
Martina Navratilova urged Elon Musk to be tested for the potential use of illicit drugs
Martina Navratilova weighed in on the ongoing federal investigation into Elon Musk, which centers on his alleged failure to disclose drug use and communications with Russia since 2022. The billionaire, who holds a "top-secret" security clearance, could face serious consequences if the allegations are confirmed.
Reacting on X (formerly Twitter), Navratilova didn’t hold back, writing:
"What a surprise. Test his a**!"
The 18-time Grand Slam champion also criticized Republicans by pointing out that while they support mandatory drug testing for welfare recipients, they appear unconcerned about enforcing similar standards for individuals in powerful positions like Musk.
