Elon Musk stated that Marine Le Pen is 'France's last hope' in the perspective of the presidential elections of 2027.

Billionaire Elon Musk stated on platform X that Marine Le Pen, the leader of the far-right in France, is the 'last hope' of the country in view of the presidential elections in 2027. Although Musk referred to favorable polling results for Le Pen, this comment does not constitute an official endorsement.

In the past, Musk has had meetings with President Emmanuel Macron and has supported his unpopular decisions, such as raising the retirement age, which Le Pen promises to reverse. Elon Musk has also expressed support for right-wing and far-right groups and candidates in Europe, including the 'Restore Britain' party and AfD in Germany.

Marine Le Pen announced that she will run in the presidential elections in 2027, despite a recent prison sentence, being considered eligible to compete. The court determined that Le Pen has already served part of her sentence, allowing her to run for election.
