CNN —Germany has hit back at Elon Musk after the billionaire businessman waded into the country’s debate on migration.
Musk reshared a post on the platform X, formerly Twitter, that criticized German NGO operations in the Mediterranean for “unloading illegal immigrants” in Italy.
The post also called for a victory for the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party in the next elections.
“There are currently 8 German NGO ships in the Mediterranean Sea collecting illegal immigrants to be unloaded in Italy.
