Musk has become increasingly vocal about his views on UK and German politics in recent weeks.

"I think in the US foreigners aren't allowed to give money. Other countries maybe should adopt safeguards to make sure superrich foreigners aren't distorting their elections," Gates told The Times."
"I thought the rules of the game were you picked a finite number of things to spout about that you cared for, focused on a few critical things, rather than telling people who they should vote for," Gates said.
"If someone is super smart, and he is, they should think how they can help out. But this is populist stirring," Gates added."
