Billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates discussed tech mogul Elon Musk’s growing influence on global politics during an interview.
“You want to promote the right wing but say Nigel Farage is not right wing enough… I mean, this is insane s—. You are for the AfD [in Germany],” he told British newspaper The Times.
Gates also said Musk shaking up “political situations in countries” is “really insane," in the interview highlighted by Mediaite.
Musk, who heavily backed President Trump in his 2024 bid for the White House, recently told Germans at a rally for the far-right political party Alternative for Germany (AfD) that they should be proud when it comes to their heritage, as well as “move beyond” the “past guilt” of generations before.
“Something I think that is just very important is that people take pride in Germany and being German. This is very important,” Musk said Saturday. “It’s, you know, it’s OK to be proud to be German. This is a very important principle.”
Earlier this month, Musk went after British politician Nigel Farage, saying that he should not be the far-right Reform U.K. party’s leader. Musk’s commentary on Farage also came after he had been posting on social media about U.K. politics, calling for the release of far-right activist Tommy Robinson.
“We can all overreach… If someone is super-smart, and he is, they should think how they can help out. But this is populist stirring,” Gates said in the Times interview.
The Hill has reached out to Tesla for comment.
