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.

The tech billionaire who has already made a name in American politics offered his endorsement following a deadly German Christmas market attack.

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.

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

Elon Musk posted on X that the Friday night terrorist attack in Magdeburg Germany was the "direct result of mass, unregulated migration."

Germany's Olaf Scholz has dismissed an assertion by Elon Musk, who said that a far-right party can “save Germany'. Germany is set to vote in an early election in February next year following the collapse of Scholz's three-party governing coalition collapsed last month.

U.S. billionaire Elon Musk said Friday said "only" the far-right Alternative for Germany party, currently running second in German polls with around 19% support nationwide, can "save" the country.
