German Chancellor Olaf Scholz Calls Elon Musk a ‘Troll’ – Not Interested in Having Friendly Relations

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has described Elon Musk as a “troll” and said he has no intention of having warm relations with the powerful tech mogul.

In an interview with Germany’s Stern magazine published Saturday, Scholz said he would refuse to “feed the troll” and respond to Musk’s attacks on him and his government.

“There are a lot of people on social media who want to attract attention with snappy slogans,” Scholz said.

“I don’t believe in courting Mr. Musk’s favor,” he continued.
