🇩🇪 Germany’s SPD Calls for Antitrust Act in Attempt to Curb Musk
A senior lawmaker from Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s Social Democrats has 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. Adding: “It’s high time to push ahead with a modern version of the Sherman Antitrust Act.”
A modern-day version would essentially lead to a break-up of Musk’s increasingly “monopolistic” conglomerate of companies, Wiese told Bloomberg News.
Musk’s AfD backing has clearly ruffled some feathers.
