The Prime Minister of Norway, Jonas Gahr Stoere, voiced concerns on Monday regarding Elon Musk's direct involvement in political matters outside the United States.

Stoere told Norwegian public broadcaster NRK that it is alarming for someone with such extensive access to social media and considerable economic power to engage so directly in the internal affairs of other nations. 'This is not the way things should be between democracies and allies,' he emphasized.

Should Musk attempt to involve himself in Norwegian politics, Stoere suggested that Norwegian politicians should collectively distance themselves from such attempts.
