From: The Times of Israel January 25, 2025 billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk tells far-right AfD rally there’s ‘too much focus on past guilt’ in Germany
Elon Musk addressing a rally of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party in Halle, eastern Germany, via video link: “There is too much focus on past guilt (in Germany), and we need to move beyond that.” “Children should not feel guilty for the sins of their parents – their great-grandparents even,”
The comments come after Musk made a straight-armed gesture during US President Donald Trump’s inauguration on Monday that many saw as a Nazi salute, though the antisemitism-fighting organization ADL called it instead an “awkward gesture.”
Musk has in the past, shared white supremacist memes and theories on X that have drawn accusations of antisemitism.
