Elon Musk addressed rallygoers of Germany's far-right AfD party, advocating for national pride and the rejection of guilt over ancestral actions. He emphasized the importance of German culture and values, arguing against the dilution of identity through multiculturalism. Musk's remarks came in the lead-up to German elections, aligning himself with AfD's stance on heritage. He asserted that children should not feel responsible for their ancestors' sins and that distinct cultures globally should be preserved, referencing historical admiration from Romans for Germanic peoples. His appearance has sparked controversy and scrutiny.
I think 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 or their great grandparents even.
It's okay to be proud to be German. This is a very important principle, and it's good to be proud of German culture and values.
We want to have unique cultures in the world. We don't want everything to be the same everywhere where it's just one big sort of soup.
The Romans wrote they were impressed during their first encounters with Germanic tribes. These are very, very powerful warriors.
