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.

Elon Musk, billionaire entrepreneur and owner of X (formerly Twitter), has ignited outrage after calling for German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s resignati.

Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Friday dismissed an assertion by Elon Musk that only a far-right party can “save Germany,” but said that freedom of opinion "also goes for multibillionaires.” Germany is expected to vote in an early election on Feb.

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.

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

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

Elon Musk, poised to advise US President-elect Donald Trump, criticised German Chancellor Olaf Scholz following a deadly car attack in Magdeburg. Musk also endorsed Germany's far-right AfD, intensifying political tensions ahead of the February 23 election.

Musk's increased political and economic influence has prompted comparisons to George Soros, but supporters say Musk is a different case.

In the wake of the tragic attack at a Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany, which resulted in multiple fatalities and injuries, billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has publicly called for German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to resign.

The eastern German city of Magdeburg mourns as the Alternative für Deutschland party sees an opportunity after one of its supporters plowed into a fairy-tale Christmas market.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Monday that more than 3,000 North Korean soldiers have been killed and wounded in Russia's Kursk region and warned that Pyongyang could send more personnel and equipment for Moscow's army.
