He said this to the AfD (The New Nazi Party in Germany). The whole speech was just a massive dog whistle.

The Tesla CEO addressed the crowd alongside party leader Alice Weidel, saying that the party is the “best hope for Germany” and calling to “preserve German culture” and “protect the German people.” “It’s good to be proud of German culture, German values, and not to lose that in some sort of multiculturalism that dilutes everything.”

Donald Tusk, prime minister of Poland, said Musk’s speech sounded ominous to him.

“The words we heard from the main actors of the AfD rally about ‘Great Germany’ and ‘the need to forget German guilt for Nazi crimes’ sounded all too familiar and ominous. Especially only hours before the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz,” Tusk wrote, referencing the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the most-infamous Nazi death camp.

Rol said it better than I could. It's not guilt but taking responsibility. Germany did commit one of the biggest atrocities in the world and the responsibility is remembering what led to that point to ensure that it never happens again, of course the Nazi Musk thinks people should stop focusing on the past. "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

Nobody is telling Germany to still feel guilt about it and keep apologising to the world but not to forget and it's Germany not trying to sweep it under the rug that has kept Nazism at bay, until now, when a Nazi Party is trying to gain power and Musk is telling Germans to forget about their past. But his salute was just him "throwing his heart out to the crowd" Lol.
