In Germany, a shaky power coalition collapsed after Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s decision to fire the finance minister from the conservative Free Democrats party.
American businessman Elon Musk called German Chancellor Olaf Scholz an idiot after the collapse of the coalition in Germany. The German government responded to the comment. Spigel reported this on Friday, November 8.
In response to the collapse of the Scholz government coalition, Elon Musk wrote in German on social media: “Olaf is an idiot.”

The representative of the government representative Christiane Goffmann commented on the words of Elon Musk.
“In X there is freedom of speech for fools,” Goffmann said at a press conference in Berlin.
At the same time, he explained that the German government has an account on X, because social networks are a way of telling the public about work.
“In general, it is important that the government continues to be represented there,” Hoffmann added.
According to the publication, due to the extremist content allowed by Musk on X, a number of public figures and ordinary users are no longer active on the social network. There are calls from some politicians to stop supporting the platform with their presence and their own message.
We remind you that on Thursday, German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier fired three ministers from the Free Democratic Party.
The day before, Scholz accused Free Democratic Party leader Christian Lindner of being uncooperative and announced his intention to initiate a vote of confidence in his government in January 2025.
