The American billionaire Elon Musk caused surprise and dismay with his video -appearance during the AfD campaign on Saturday: Poland Prime Minister Donald Tusk criticized that the Tech -Mogul said that the country should leave German fault and Nazi crimes.
The statements of Musk “sounded too familiar and threatening, (…) especially a few hours before the birthday of the liberation of Auschwitz”, the Tusk emphasized on the online platform X, which belongs to the billionaire.
The message from barrier to X and the reaction of the German Chancellor:
The German Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) agreed with his Polish counterpart. “I can only agree,” he also commented on Tusk’s explanation on X.
The American billionaire rages about “German culture”
Musk had asked the AfDAanhangers in Halle on the Saale to be “proud” to be “German”. “To be honest, the focus is too much on the fault of the past, and we have to leave that behind,” he added. Moreover, the tech billionaire was enthusiastic about the “German culture”, which is going back “thousands of years”.
Criticism from Israel: “Insult to the victims”
Significant criticism of these statements also came from Israel. “Remembrance and recognition of the dark past of the country and his people should be the focus of the design of German society,” said the chairman of the Israeli Holocaust Memorial Yad Vashem, Dani Dayan. “Of this, remember an insult to the victims of national socialism and a clear danger to the democratic future of Germany.”
The German ambassador in Israel, Steffen Seibert, supported this – “just like millions of Germans”, as he also wrote on X. “Elon Musk does not seem to know our country at all,” he replied to the Dayan’s submission. “Nobody ensures that children feel guilty of Nazi crimes. We want them to grow up and use it responsibly and the teachings from the German past.
Musk advertises AfD for right -wing extremists
In recent weeks, Musk had repeatedly disrupted the comments about his online platform X in the domestic policy of Germany and other European countries and for which right -wing extremist AfD has been advertised. Trump had appointed the special consultant of his government to guarantee drastic cuts on government spending in the United States. At the inauguration of Trump last Monday, he noticed a gesture that was reminiscent of a Hitler greeting.
