Berlin, January 27 (RHC)-- In news from Germany, the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, took a break from advising Donald Trump on Saturday to give a surprise virtual address to the far-right party AfD, or Alternative for Germany. 

Musk’s appearance came just days after he sparked controversy for twice giving a Nazi salute at a Trump inaugural event.  Among other things, Musk told attendees it’s time to “move on” from “past guilt,” an apparent reference to Nazism and the Holocaust.

Elon Musk said: “Well, first of all, I wanted to really say that I’m very excited for the AfD. … It’s good to be proud of German culture and German values and not to lose that in some sort of multiculturalism that dilutes everything.”
