Can Elon Musk succeed, among others, Nelson Mandela as a recipient of the EU's finest human rights prize?

Tesla's founder and X-owner has, in any case, been nominated for this year's Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought by the two party groups of the far-right in the EU Parliament, both PFE, dominated by the Hungarian ruling party Fidesz and the French National Rally, and ESN, created by the German AFD.

However, for Musk to receive the prize, which, in addition to Mandela, has previously gone to, among others, Kofi Annan and Alexei Navalny, it is first and foremost required that he comes among the three finalists to be selected in October - before the winner is crowned by the parliament's group leaders.

Other nominees this year are Venezuela's opposition leader María Corina Machado and Edmundo González Urrutia, Palestinian women's organizations Women wage peace and Women of the sun, a group of Palestinian journalists, and Azerbaijani human rights activist Gubad Ibadoglu.
