Elon Musk's Controversial Stance on German Migration Sparks Debate
Billionaire Elon Musk sparked controversy by reposting an article criticizing German-funded migrant rescue operations in the Mediterranean, suggesting they could be seen as an "invasion" of Italy. Musk called for the far-right party AfD to win upcoming regional elections in Germany, prompting a rebuke from the German foreign ministry, which defended the operations as life-saving. The debate comes amid a heated discussion on immigration in Europe, with Italy demanding that charity ships disembark rescued migrants in their own countries. Immigration has also become a key topic ahead of regional elections in Bavaria and Hesse.
