German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, in his New Year’s Eve address, took a veiled swipe at tech billionaire Elon Musk for his vocal support of the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. Scholz warned that Germany's future would not be shaped by the influence of social media moguls, emphasizing that decisions about the nation's direction should lie with the citizens, not external figures. In a pointed remark, Scholz stated that, despite the growing attention garnered by extreme opinions, the vast majority of reasonable and decent people will ultimately determine the course of the country. The Chancellor’s comments came in response to Musk’s controversial endorsement of AfD, which has drawn criticism from German officials for its extremist views.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron have reportedly discussed deploying European peacekeeping troops to Ukraine, according to the Telegraph. While Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky supports the idea, Starmer remains hesitant due to concerns over troop safety and possible escalation. Macron also proposed the idea to Poland, which declined involvement. The plan may align with reports of Donald Trump’s proposal for non-NATO European troops along the Russia-Ukraine demilitarized zone. No official confirmations have been made by the UK or France.

German Ambassador Andreas Michaelis has allegedly cautioned Berlin that Donald Trump’s second term could undermine democracy in the US. In a confidential cable, Michaelis reportedly claimed Trump might centralize power, redefine the First Amendment, and misuse the media and law enforcement for political purposes. He also warned about potential domestic military deployment to fulfill campaign pledges. The cable highlights fears of diminished checks and balances, as Trump’s actions spark global concern, with allies like Elon Musk accused of fueling extreme right movements in Europe and the US.
