According to Scholz, Musk is interfering in the affairs of right-wing politicians across Europe, which is detrimental to the democratic development of the entire European Union.
The Chancellor noted that he has an "absolutely critical" view of Musk's statements regarding Germany's history, as Musk urged the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) to stop feeling guilt for the past, referring to the crimes committed by the Nazis.
Scholz added that Germany is grateful to the United States for liberating it from the Nazis and helping it to become a democracy again. He also stated that his country will continue to take responsibility for what Germans did in the past.
