A Polish government minister called for a boycott of Tesla Inc. vehicles after billionaire Elon Musk said there was “too much focus on past guilt” in an apparent reference to Germany’s wartime atrocities under the Nazis.

Disinformation, conspiracy theories and hate speech can now spread almost without limit in important social media,” says German culture minister.

As the world remembers Auschwitz, the German far right has pushed back against the country's tradition of Holocaust remembrance, now with backing from US tech billionaire Elon Musk.

Elon Musk told a rally the German far-right AfD party, just before Holocaust Remembrance Day, that Germany should get over "past guilt."

Thousands protested against the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, which the Tesla CEO addressed on Saturday.
