      A senior lawmaker from Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s Social Democrats railed against Elon Musk’s interference in German politics and called for a new antitrust act to constrain his influence in the corporate world.

      “Elon Musk’s renewed provocations are more than irritating,” said Dirk Wiese, the deputy caucus leader of the Social Democratic Party in Germany’s Bundestag. “It’s high time to push ahead with a modern version of the Sherman Antitrust Act,” he added, referring to the 1890 US law that banned monopolistic business practices.

      democracies need to act fast for self protection. which unfortunately they do not

      Obvious nonsense, clearly Elon doesn’t have a monopoly in any of his businesses.  Antitrust isn’t actually a tool to just punish those SPD lawmakers find “irritating”.

      If this happens, Trump will retaliate with tariffs. And US citizens will pay the price lol.

      Did I miss an invasion last night? I am confused to why a German politician thinks he can regulate US businesses.
