Tue Jan 28 22:39:44 UTC 2025: ## Scholz Condemns Musk’s Support for European Far-Right

**Berlin, Germany** – German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has vehemently denounced Elon Musk’s support for right-wing parties across the European Union, calling it “really disgusting” and detrimental to European democracy. Scholz’s condemnation follows Musk’s recent video appearance at a German far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) campaign event, where he urged Germans to take pride in their culture.

The Chancellor specifically criticized Musk’s comments on German history, stating he was “absolutely critical” of them and reaffirming Germany’s ongoing responsibility for its past actions, particularly referencing the Holocaust. Scholz emphasized Germany’s gratitude to the US for its role in liberating the country from Nazi rule and establishing its democracy, further highlighting his anger at Musk’s intervention on behalf of the far-right.

Musk’s actions have sparked widespread outrage. His recent appearance at the AfD event, coupled with a controversial gesture at a Trump inauguration event that drew comparisons to a Nazi salute, has further fueled criticism. The AfD, described as right-wing extremist by German security services, is currently polling strongly ahead of upcoming snap elections, amidst rising concerns over immigration following several violent attacks. Chancellor Scholz’s strong rebuke underscores the growing alarm over the influence of wealthy individuals on European politics and the rise of far-right extremism.
