German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has continued to voice his opposition of billionaire Elon Musk, labeling his actions as “disgusting” in his latest comments about the tech mogul.

Speaking to CNN Tuesday, Scholz slammed Musk’s involvement in Germany’s upcoming February election and weighed in on the billionaire’s plea for Germans to “move beyond” the guilt of the Holocaust during a rally over the weekend.

“I disagree completely with Elon Musk and what he is doing,” Scholz said, before adding that it isn’t surprising media owners are intervening in German politics as that’s been the case since the “19th century”—however— what is new is their endorsement of “right-wing politicians.”
