Elon Musk, owner of the social platform X, has publicly expressed support for French politician Marine Le Pen, leader of the Rassemblement National, describing her as France's "last hope." The comment was posted on X in response to a poll showing Le Pen in a favorable position and follows her official return to the French presidential race. The statement prompted reactions from European institutions. Former European Commissioner Thierry Breton raised concerns about possible interference and called on the European Union to ensure that X's algorithm does not favor any candidate. The French government also responded, stating that "only fools never change their minds." The episode comes amid the French election campaign, in which Marine Le Pen appears competitive in the polls. Musk's involvement in European political debates has previously drawn attention because of both his public statements about national elections and his ownership of a major social media platform.
