   It’s #HolocaustRemembranceDay today; on Saturday, #ElonMusk told #Germany's #FarRight party to "move beyond" #Nazi guilt.

   Fresh off a controversy over a gesture many saw as a Nazi salute, #tech billionaire Elon Musk appeared virtually at a campaign event for a far-right German political party on Saturday, where he urged listeners not to be ashamed of their country's history.

     #ElonMusk — the head of #Trump's Dept of Govt Efficiency — was met w/roars of applause from the >4k attendees gathered in the German city of Halle as he appeared on screen at a rally for the #FarRight “Alternative für Deutschland” (#AfD) party.

     "I think you really are the best hope for Germany," #Musk told them.

     Since #Germany's president dissolved parliament in December, he has accused Musk of trying to interfere in Germany's national #elections, which are scheduled for Feb 23.

     #ElonMusk, the world's richest man, has waded into #politics in other #European countries, throwing his support behind #FarRight leaders such as #Italy’s PM #GiorgiaMeloni & trolling #Britain's center-left government.

     On Saturday, #Musk spoke repeatedly about the importance of Germans taking pride in their heritage.
