Musk tells Germans to 'move beyond' past guilt in right-wing party speech

Tesla CEO Elon Musk encouraged Germans to “move beyond” historical guilt in a speech to the right-wing Alternative fur Deutschland party.

Musk’s public support for the AfD, which began last month, represents his latest international political venture. After previously hosting a space with the AfD candidate for chancellor, Alice Weidel, Musk took his support a step further by remotely speaking to a crowd of AfD supporters at their election campaign kick-off in Halle, Germany. In his speech, Musk said that the AfD was the “best hope for Germany,” and urged the crowd to be proud of their German identity.
