Billionaire Elon Musk, set to join U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's administration as an outside adviser, on Friday called on German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to resign in response to a deadly attack at a German Christmas market.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has dismissed an assertion by Elon Musk that only a far-right party can “save Germany.”

Elon Musk, poised to advise US President-elect Donald Trump, criticised German Chancellor Olaf Scholz following a deadly car attack in Magdeburg. Musk also endorsed Germany's far-right AfD, intensifying political tensions ahead of the February 23 election.

Musk was roasted on his own social media platform by a political scientist, a fellow billionaire and many others.

Elon Musk was blasted by German and U.S. lawmakers for backing a German far-right political party on X, formerly Twitter on Thursday.

Musk has been amplifying right-wing, anti-immigration voices on X for years and has already questioned criticism aimed at the AfD back in June. In September 2023, he denounced Germany for giving money to charities and rescuing migrants in the Mediterranean Sea.

Only the AfD can save Germany,” Elon Musk wrote, referencing the far-right anti-immigrant and anti-Islam party in Europe’s largest country.
