Holocaust memorial chair: Musk's call for Germany to 'move beyond' Nazi guilt is dangerous

The chair of Yad Vashem, Israel’s official Holocaust memorial, said Sunday tech billionaire Elon Musk’s call for Germans to “move beyond” the crimes of Nazi Germany is dangerous for the country’s democratic future.

“Contrary to @elonmusk advice, the remembrance and acknowledgement of the dark past of the country and its people should be central in shaping the German society,” Chair Dani Dayan said in a post on the social platform X, which Musk owns.

“Failing to do so is an insult to the victims of Nazism and a clear danger to the democratic future of Germany,” Dayan continued.

Dayan’s post came in response to a video of Musk’s virtual address on Saturday to a far-right German political party, Alternative for Germany (AfD). In his remarks, Musk reiterated his support for AfD, told Germans they should be proud of their heritage and said they should “move beyond” the “past guilt” of older generations.
