'Elon Musk made a surprise appearance during Germany's AfD (Alternative fuer Deutschland) election campaign event in Halle in eastern Germany on Saturday, speaking publicly in support of the far right party for the second time in as many weeks. Addressing a hall of 4,500 people alongside party leader Alice Weidel, Musk spoke live via video link about preserving German culture and protecting the German people.
"It's good to be proud of German culture, German values, and not to lose that in some sort of multiculturalism that dilutes everything," Musk said. Last week, the U.S. billionaire caused uproar after he made a gesture that drew online comparisons to a Nazi salute during U.S. President Donald Trump's inauguration festivities. On Saturday, he said "children should not be guilty of the sins of their parents, let alone their great grandparents," apparently referring to Germany's Nazi past.
"There is too much focus on past guilt, and we need to move beyond that," he said. Musk, who spoke of suppression of speech under Germany's government, has previously attacked German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on X. For his part, Scholz on Tuesday said he does not support freedom of speech when it is used for extreme-right views.'
"There is too much focus on past guilt, and we need to move beyond that…”
Translation: ignore past crimes of the fascist right, pursue today an authoritarian fascist right agenda of illiberalism, racism, bigotry, and hate – in Germany and the United States.
