Elon Musk‘s telling the people of Germany to move on from their country’s past mistakes and embrace their culture with open arms … and, many online are drawing more connections to the Third Reich.
The tech entrepreneur made a surprise speech to the Alternative for Germany party — also known as (AfD), a far-right political party — Saturday … and, he talked a lot about preserving and finding pride in German culture.

Listen to the speech for all of it … but, his basic point is that Germans shouldn’t feel bad for being proud of their ethnicity, their culture and their country’s shared value system.
Elon takes it a step further too … telling everyone in the room that he thinks people in Germany are far too guilt-ridden over the atrocities their ancestors committed — and, they need to let all that guilt go.
While Elon doesn’t refer to any specific event, people online are connecting the dots here … admitting it seems like the mogul is referring indirectly to the Holocaust.

EM adds Germans must preserve German culture instead of letting the country be overrun by multiculturalism … ’cause people don’t want to go to a place that — through globalization — feels like everywhere else.
Worth noting … AfD is against immigration — specifically Muslim immigrants coming into Germany — so, an Elon dismissing multiculturalism got many cheers from the audience.
It comes at the end of a week where Elon has already been accused of sympathizing with Nazis … after a video of Musk touching his heart and then thrusting his arm out toward an inauguration crowd drew comparison to a Nazi salute.
Musk said he didn’t mean it as one … and, the issue has been split basically along party lines — with Republicans defending the new head of the Department of Governmental Efficiency and Democrats blasting him for it.
Elon’s comments in Germany won’t stop the Nazi accusations from flying … regardless of the tech mogul’s intentions.
