Elon Musk’s comments on a right -wing extremist party in Germany have expressed concerns about the escalating political interference of the billionaire abroad.
Musk spoke on a large screen in a video address to alternatives for followers of Germany (AfD) in Halle, Germany, and said that the Germans “have to be too blame for past, and we have to go beyond” and said children “and said children “and said children” should not be guilty of their parents’ sins, let alone their great -grandparents “, apparently refer to the country’s past.
“It is okay to be proud of being German and not losing it in a kind of multiculturalism that dilutes everything,” he said, to cheer from the crowd.
In the meantime, tens of thousands of Germans protested in cities across the country against the AfD, sang anti -fascist songs and wore banners who denounced the party on the same day as Musk’s speech.
The speech caused the outcry of some Jewish leaders to call two observers as two Nazi greeting during a speech during a speech at the first parade of US President Donald Trump.
Followers and critics discussed the intention behind the gesture, and later joked it by releasing a series of Nazi words on X, the social media platform he owned.
The world’s richest person and owner of Tesla and SpaceX is Musk a close advisor from Trump and has an office in the White House after donating more than 250 million US dollars for the president’s election campaign.

Musk’s AfD speech is just an example of his increasing interference in international affairs, which often promotes immigrant stories and right-wing politicians, say political analysts.
Jacob Ware, a scientific fellow in the Council for Foreign Relations, Terrorism and Terrorism Constipand, renamed X) for $ 44 billion in 2022.
“I’m not sure, honestly, if he thinks he will win, or his company will win, or it is a personal matter of power,” said Ware. “Or if this is really ideological and he has completely swallowed the red pill of white dominance and even national socialism.”
He says that if it is really ideological, it would be best to see a legitimate white supremacist infiltration of the White House.
Another option is, according to the goods, that Musk trolls to “own the LIBS” and simply look for attention and to feel that his increasing political power in the USA has “invincible”.
Musk’s actions on “disorder” and “ego”: professor
The political science professor of the University of British Columbia, Terri Givens, which teaches in Europe and the USA, says, while Musk clearly influenced the US elections, has not yet led his trip to European politics to major political changes or re -establishment.
“It’s about disorders. And I think it is sometimes ego – he wants to be seen as the guy over Trump” with an AfD event.
According to Givens, Musk’s actions abroad also have an impact in North America by encouraging people with racist and xenophobic tendencies to publicly represent these views, especially on social media.
World leader warn musk to stay out of their business and look for ways to contain his influence. French President Emmanuel Macron recently beat him up for “direct intervening” elections in Europe, while other leaders of the European Union have asked the supervisory authorities to finish fines and other legal sanctions against Musk, and said his social media platform had against EU regulations.
