Musk vs. Scholz. The South American entrepreneur, supporter of Donald Trump attacked the German chancellor after the sacking of the finance minister which caused a government crisis in Germany.
Musk against Scholz: “He’s stupid”
Elon Musk, entrepreneur and avid supporter of Donald Trump, has attacked the German chancellor Olaf Scholz for the dismissal of his finance minister, the leader of the Liberal party.
“Olaf is a fool” he wrote from his X account. Pressed by a user, the owner of the social network confirmed that he was talking about German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
Christian Lindner, German Finance Minister
The reason for this comment by Musk would be the dismissal of the German finance minister, Christian Lindner, which caused a government crisis in Germany.
The dismissal of Christian Lindner
The German Chancellor on Wednesday 6 November Olaf Scholz, leader of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) has fired his government ally and finance minister, the head of the liberal party Christian Lindner.
Liberals e Social Democrats they form, together with Verdi, Germany’s governing coalition, but the three parties have been arguing for some time, especially over state budget issues, on which very stringent laws apply in Germany.
Precisely on a financial issue, the covers of 9 billion euros to be spent in the German state budget law for 2025, caused Scholz to fire Christian Lindner.
When voting in Germany
A government crisis has effectively opened. Scholz has called the German Parliament for a vote of confidence on January 15th. If the Liberals were to vote against the confidence, the chancellor would have to resign and the President of the Republic would dissolve the chambers.
We would then go to new elections, highly awaited especially by right-wing parties. There Cdu, the center-right party that governed Germany for 20 years with Angela Merkel has recovered many votes and is ready to take back the chancellor’s seat.
Even further to the right it has grown very strongly Afd, neo-Nazi inspired party. Even the new pro-Russian formation Bsw gained a lot of votes in the last local elections. If parliament votes of no confidence in Scholz, we could go to the polls in the spring.
