Mitt Romney:

The amount of money a few people are getting concerns me. The idea that Elon Musk is going to be a trillionaire—what does that mean? We're talking about a thousand billions.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan:

The policies of Netanyahu's government are not only a problem for us.

His policies and his government are a burden for Israel, a burden for the region, and a burden and a threat to international security.
