10月13日星期二，法国外交部长指责亿万富翁、X社交平台所有者埃隆·马斯克对欧洲领导人实施了“网络骚扰”，并警告称这种行为可能干扰法国的2027年总统选举。让-诺埃尔·巴罗特表示，在4月至5月的选举期间（极右翼候选人玛丽娜·勒庞的获胜机会前所未有），“民主的敌人会不遗余力地破坏法国的稳定”。他在经济合作与发展组织（OECD）举办的会议上说：“他们利用法国社会的分歧，以及移民、世俗主义和以色列-巴勒斯坦冲突等问题来煽动仇恨和紧张情绪。”
France's foreign minister on Tuesday, October 13, accused the billionaire tycoon and owner of the X social media platform Elon Musk of "online harassment" of European leaders, as he sounded the alarm over the risks of interference in the French 2027 presidential election. Jean-Noël Barrot warned that ahead of the April-May election – in which far-right candidate Marine Le Pen has her best ever chance of winning the Elysée – "the enemies of democracy will do everything to destabilize us." "They exploit our divisions and exploit issues such as immigration, secularism and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to stoke hatred and tension," he said at a conference held by the Paris-based Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
巴罗特特别提到了一家以色列公司（未指明具体名称），称该公司创建了虚假的法国账号来发布有关以色列-巴勒斯坦冲突的虚假信息。他还批评了马斯克针对欧洲领导人的大规模网络骚扰行为，指出马斯克利用其社交平台的传播力来影响欧洲国家的政治辩论。目前法国正面临高中生抗议活动的冲击，巴罗特抱怨称，网上关于这些抗议活动的报道中充斥着来自俄罗斯、中国、伊朗以及支持美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的“MAGA阵营”的敌对言论。
He singled out an Israeli company – which he did not identify – that he said had created fake French accounts to post over the Israel-Palestinian conflict. But Barrot also took aim at the "massive online harassment campaigns by Elon Musk against European leaders, aimed at influencing national debates by exploiting the viral nature of his social network." With France rocked by several weeks of protests by high school students over their conditions, Barrot complained that some coverage of the demonstrations online had been marked by "hostile narratives originating from Russia and China, as well as Iran and the MAGA community" in reference to the supporters of US President Donald Trump.
上周，特朗普在其社交平台“Truth”上写道：“法国发生的事情其实就是失控的大规模移民现象。”马斯克则在其拥有2.415亿粉丝的X平台上回应道：“这虽然是一场‘慢动作的入侵’，但终究仍是一种入侵；那些支持这种入侵的人就是叛徒，他们应该受到应有的惩罚。”巴罗特誓言法国会予以反击：“我们绝不容忍任何形式的外国干涉，无论这种干涉来自何处。这是主权问题。”
Trump had last week written on his Truth Social network that "what's happening in France is nothing less than out of control mass migration." Musk had then commented to his 241.5 million followers on X: "It's an invasion in slow motion, but an invasion nonetheless. And those who support the invasion are traitors who deserve the fate of all traitors." Barrot vowed that France would hit back. "We do not tolerate any foreign interference, from wherever it may come. It is a matter of sovereignty," he said.
英国首相安迪·伯纳姆周一表示，俄罗斯干涉英国2016年脱欧公投一事“非常明确”，该公投导致英国退出欧盟。
British Prime Minister Andy Burnham said on Monday it was "clear" Russia had interfered in the UK's bitter 2016 Brexit referendum that resulted in its exit from the European Union.
