Elon Musk's appearance at a rally for Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party drew attention as he called for moving beyond Germany's historical guilt, raising concerns due to the party's ties to neo-Nazism. He stated that children should not bear guilt for their ancestors' actions, a sentiment reminiscent of far-right ideologies. The rally showcased Musk's ongoing support for the AfD, which marks a significant shift in German nationalism post-World War II. His prior controversial statements and actions have sparked criticism, highlighting a troubling trend in his political affiliations.
There is too much focus on past guilt, and we need to move beyond that. Children should not be guilty of the sins of their parents, let alone their great-grandparents.
This type of rhetoric is commonly employed by neo-Nazis and skinheads when discussing Adolf Hitler and the Nazis.
Musk has frequently espoused his support for the AfD, which counts itself as the first nationalist party to win a regional election in Germany since World War II.
Everything said in that exchange was grotesquely false and not at all rooted in history.
