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. These NGOs are subsidized by the German government. Let's hope AfD wins the elections to stop this European suicide," the post from an X account with the handle "Radio Genoa" read.
Sharing the post to his 158 million followers on Friday, Musk, who owns the social media platform, wrote: "Is the German public aware of this?"
Hitting back at his comment, the German Foreign Office took to X to write: "Yes. And it's called saving lives."
Musk doubled down on his criticism on Saturday, writing in another post: "Frankly, I doubt that a majority of the German public supports this."
