Musk made a virtual appearance at a campaign event for Germany’s far-right AfD party, saying “children should not be guilty of the sins of their parents.”

Tech billionaire Elon Musk addressed a rally for the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party on Saturday, urging attendees to move on from past guilt related to the country's Nazi history. Newsweek has contacted Musk via an email to Tesla for comment.

"Children should not be guilty of the sins of their parents, let alone their great grandparents," Musk said, apparently referring to Germany's Nazi past.
