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. And this is really disgusting”.
Ahead of Germany’s February election, Musk has been controversially inserting himself into the German election campaign in favor of the far-right party, the Alternative for Germany (AfD).
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. And this is really disgusting, and it is not good for the democratic development in all (of) the European Union.”
In early January, Musk held a conversation with the leader of the AfD, Alice Weidel, on X. He has also regularly tweeted his support for the party, calling Scholz “an incompetent fool” on his social media platform.
On Saturday, Musk appeared virtually at an AfD campaign rally in the city of Halle. But it is what Musk said about the German need to move on from its historic guilt over the Holocaust that has particularly irked the Chancellor.
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.”

“it is not good for the democratic development in all (of) the European Union.”
What does this globalist puke mean by “democratic development”
Is there any nation in the European Union which doesn’t already have an elected government?
Hey Olaf, if you want to know “really diagusting” look in the mirror- your liberalism is as disgusting as it gets
Everything is ‘far right’ ‘extreme right’ to these people. The can’t just say ‘on the right’. It’s ‘far right’.
They act like they are the norm. They are not. The shift to the left has crept on for so long , the are the extreme left.
They should be reminded of this - by referring to them as ‘extreme left’ ‘far left’ .
The German Chancellor should probably look at German history about 80 years ago, and the actions of the German government in the past year or two before opening his schnitzel hole about other people.
In other words, the old radical extreme leftist / marxist control of the media was just fine with him.
O, how they loved him/anyone when they support their leftist agenda.
These commies are truly evil.
German Chancellor Olaf’s support of radical ultra left-wing extremist partiez is disgusting. See, we can play that 💩 as well herr assclown olaf.
Whatever, yah Nazi war criminal
it is not good for the democratic development in all (of) the European Union.”
yeah cuz you cant have two sides in a democracy
thats just not very democratic
a single party state is a democracy
according to the left wing
Damn. Germany is going full Nazi again. What the hell happened?
My German ancestor side makes me embarrassed. I never got along with anyone on my dad’s side except my dad, grandfather, and one cousin. He married a non German ancestor woman. The rest of them were very insular. I sued one cousin and he declared bankruptcy because he knew I would win. My mom’s side (English-Scottish) were a lot more human
Nothing says “Democratic development” more than importing millions of people from third world countries to rape, pillage and destroy your own people.
Go AfD!
