Elon Musk’s support of right-wing parties ‘is really disgusting,’ German Chancellor tells CNN

CNN  

Berlin CNN — German Chancellor Olaf Scholz took an opportunity on the campaign trail Tuesday to criticize Elon Musk, telling CNN that the US billionaire “is intervening in favor of right-wing politicians all over Europe. Speaking to CNN, as he came off stage after an hour’s talk with voters in Berlin, the Chancellor said, “I disagree completely with Elon Musk and what he is doing.” He explained as a political leader he is no stranger to media owners intervening “in politics in Germany, they started in 19th century… that’s not new.” He added: “What is new is that he is intervening in favor of right-wing politicians all over Europe. In the week that the world, and Germany, commemorated the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, Musk told the crowd there is “frankly, too much of a focus on past guilt, and we need to move beyond that.” The Chancellor, in an unusual burst of emotion, told CNN: “This is why I’m so angry about Elon Musk intervening for the far right and Elon Musk also not acting adequately to this killing of so many Jews… this is the historic responsibility we will continue to take in the future as well.” CNN has contacted Musk’s lawyers for comment. “It’s good to be proud of German culture, German values, and not to lose that in some sort of multiculturalism that dilutes everything,” Musk told the 4,000 strong crowd, before adding, “I do not say it lightly when I think the future of civilization could hang on this election.”
