2027 Election: Elon Musk Calls Marine Le Pen France's 'Last Hope' – La Nouvelle Tribune

Elon Musk posted a support message for Marine Le Pen on X on July 15, 2026, calling her the 'last hope of France'. This follows her announcement of candidacy for the 2027 presidential election despite a conviction for embezzlement of EU funds. Polls by Ifop and Toluna Harris Interactive place her first in first-round voting intentions at 36% and leading Édouard Philippe in the second round. Musk had previously expressed support after her initial conviction in March 2025.
