Billionaire Elon Musk's controversial remarks at a far-right rally in Germany, urging the country to move "beyond the past," were met with strong opposition from European leaders on the anniversary of the Auschwitz liberation. Are Musk's actions fueling the rise of neo-Nazism in Europe? Why is Trump silent on this issue?

Summary

European leaders, including Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, condemned Elon Musk’s call for Germany to “move beyond the past” regarding Nazi crimes.

Musk made the remarks at a far-right AfD rally just before the 80th anniversary of Auschwitz’s liberation, sparking backlash.

Critics warn Musk is promoting extremist ideologies in Europe.

The AfD, designated a “suspected extremist” group, is gaining traction ahead of Germany’s elections.

In the U.S., Illinois Governor JB Pritzker criticized Trump for not denouncing Musk’s statements.

    Those that forget their history, are doomed to repeat it. I think this is the hope of one Musk, hell maybe the whole family from the statement on eugenics and baby stuff.
