Elon Musk wades into controversy over migrant rescue NGOs

Billionaire Elon Musk and the German Foreign Ministry had a Twitter spat, now X.

The owner of the network, Tesla and SpaceX republished a video showing a rescue operation at sea by NGOs that are allegedly financed by the German government and which, according to the text of the post, “pick up illegal migrants and then take them to Italy “. “‘.

“Does the German public know?” Musk asked.

The German Chancellery’s English-language account then responded: “Yes, and it’s called saving lives.”

The video retweeted by Elon Musk was posted by an account called “RadioGenoa”, from Genoa, Italy.

“There are currently eight German NGO ships in the Mediterranean picking up illegal migrants to unload in Italy. These NGOs are subsidized by the German government.

We hope that the AfD wins the elections to stop this European suicide”, reads the text, referring to the German far-right party.
