Key things to know about how Elon Musk boosted hard-right figures in Europe

Elon Musk may have tumbled from political grace in Washington, DC, but as he seeks to build a new political party, his power on X where he commands the most popular account remains unchecked.

In Miami, a Tesla driver who has admitted he was wrong to reach for a dropped cell phone moments before a deadly accident, spoke of the danger of putting too much faith in Musk's technology in this case his Autopilot programme. I trusted the technology too much, said George McGee, who ran off the road and killed a woman out stargazing with her boyfriend. I believed that if the car saw something in front of it, it would provide a warning and apply the brakes.
