Elon Musk has thrown his support behind French right-wing leader Marine Le Pen, describing her as "France's last hope" after a social media post highlighted her rising popularity ahead of the country's 2027 presidential election.
According to Caliber.Az, the billionaire entrepreneur made the remark in a comment on X in response to a post discussing what it described as a sharp increase in support for Le Pen, leader of the parliamentary group of the National Rally party.
Le Pen officially announced on July 7 that she will stand in France's 2027 presidential election, seeking to succeed President Emmanuel Macron, who is constitutionally barred from seeking a third consecutive term.
