Musk Backs Le Pen as France's 'Last Hope'

Elon Musk has publicly backed Marine Le Pen, calling her France's 'last hope', which has led to new accusations of interference in French politics. A poll shows a Le Pen-Jordan Bardella ticket dominating the 2027 presidential race. The National Rally (RN) said it is 'not bound' by Musk's support, according to Chenu. Musk has also backed right-wing parties elsewhere in Europe.
