Elon Musk's controversial remarks at an AfD campaign rally in Halle, Germany, drew strong criticism from European leaders. He suggested that Germans should abandon the 'guilt of the past' regarding Nazi history, stating that children shouldn't bear the weight of their ancestors' actions. This comments surfaced just before the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, leading to backlash from leaders like Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who emphasized the inappropriateness of Musk's remarks in light of historical commemoration.
"To be honest, the focus is too much on the guilt of the past and we have to leave that behind us," the world's richest man said at the campaign rally.
Musk has previously said that only the far-right AfD, a party which says that Germans should no longer apologise for the country's Nazi past, can "save Germany" in next month's elections.
