Elon Musk made a vulgar pun for Angela Merkel – he called her “Angela Merkin”

A vicious attack with vulgar characterizations was launched against her, following the intense concern of the former German chancellor over the pivotal role of the tycoon in Donald Trump’s government. It is noted that Angela Merkel had appeared particularly troubled about the economic strength of Elon Musk in conjunction with his active political involvement, with the former chancellor raising serious questions about democratic balance. In an interview she gave earlier days to Der Spiegel magazine on the occasion of the release of her memoirs Angela Merkel reported that Musk’s financial power, head of SpaceX and Tesla, makes his simultaneous placement in such a role “extremely problematic”. “If a person like him is the owner of 60% of all satellites orbiting Space, then this must worry us terribly, along with all political issues,” he had noted, highlighting that “politics must determine the social balance between powerful and ordinary citizens.” Elon Musk’s response did not take long to arrive, with the billionaire expressing himself with provocative comments against Angela Merkel. In an X post he asked ironically: “Who is this person Angela Merkin?” , making a deliberate spelling mistake. The word “Merkin” in English refers to a toupee that is also used for the teen, an insult that many platform users have described as unacceptable. Who is this Angela Merkin person? — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) Mask’s reaction sparked new debates on his public image and behavior, especially at a time when he allegedly has a key role in the Trump administration’s transition. It is noted that Musk has already joined working groups to select new ministers, while participating in talks with world leaders, such as the president of Ukraine, Volodimir Zelensky.
