Musk's recent virtual address to the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party drew attention for his controversial statements minimizing historical guilt and defending German nationalism. While he condemned multiculturalism, suggesting it dilutes cultural identity, his comments were reminiscent of neo-Nazi rhetoric. German society, known for addressing its Nazi past through memorials, faces challenges from rising far-right ideologies, especially as the AfD gains political traction. Musk’s comments have been met with significant backlash, particularly from Jewish organizations, yet appear to have had little negative impact on his financial endeavors or public support.
The comments also follow a series of Nazi-related 'jokes' Musk posted on X, referencing prominent Nazis like chief propagandist Joseph Goebbels.
Musk spoke virtually to cheering members of AfD while denouncing multiculturalism and defending Germany's past.
Children should not be guilty of the sins of their parents, let alone their great-grandparents, Musk stated.
It's good to be proud of German culture, German values, and not to lose that in some sort of multiculturalism that dilutes everything.
