German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Tuesday denounced Elon Musk's endorsement of right-wing parties in the European Union, branding it as 'really disgusting' for undermining democracy in the bloc.
Musk, an ally of former U.S. President Donald Trump, has repeatedly clashed with Scholz, even urging him to resign and calling the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party the nation's only hope.
Scholz remains critical of Musk's comments on Germany's history, affirming the country's responsibility for past atrocities, especially as the world commemorates the liberation of Auschwitz.
