The chairman of the World Holocaust Remembrance Center has accused Elon Musk of insulting victims of Nazism after the billionaire told a German far-right political party that the country needed to “move beyond” the “guilt” of the past.

Elon Musk may be ready to move on from the Holocaust, but not everyone is on board. Dani Dayan, chairman of the Holocaust memorial center Yad Vashem, hit back at the divisive billionaire’s call for Germany to stop feeling guilty about its past.

"Children should not be guilty of the sins of their parents, let alone their great grandparents," Musk said, apparently referring to Germany's Nazi past.

The billionaire was received by cheers while addressing a rally for Alternative for Germany where he told attendees they shouldn’t be ashamed of their history.

Tech billionaire Elon Musk addressed a rally for the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party on Saturday, urging attendees to move on from past guilt related to the country's Nazi history. Newsweek has contacted Musk via an email to Tesla for comment.

Musk told AfD supporters at a campaign event that “children should not be guilty of the sins of their parents” in an apparent reference to Germany’s Nazi past.
