Musk Follows That Salute by Telling Germans: Don’t Feel ‘Guilt’ Over Country’s Past

Elon Musk urged an audience at a German far-right political rally not to feel “guilty” about their country’s history.

“I think there’s frankly too much of a focus on past guilt (in Germany), and we need to move beyond that,” Musk continued. “Children should not feel guilty for the sins of their parents—let alone their great grandparents.”

Although Musk didn’t mention Nazism explicitly, his speech was heard by many as addressing the collective guilt felt by many German people following Nazi atrocities perpetrated during World War II, including the Holocaust

In response to a post on X that accused Jews of “hatred against whites,” Musk in 2023 wrote, “You have said the actual truth.”

After criticism that the remark platformed anti-semitic conspiracy theories, Musk apologized and called the post “foolish.”
