Elon Musk has stated on social media that German Chancellor Scholz should resign, calling him names.

The US billionaire has previously made unflattering remarks about the German politician. This time, it was preceded by the incident in Magdeburg.

"Scholz should resign immediately. Incompetent fool," Izvestia quotes Musk as saying, citing the X social network.

The businessman lost his temper after the incident in Magdeburg, which some German government officials have already called a terrorist attack.

Let us recall that late yesterday evening at the Christmas market a car drove into a crowd of people.

The T-Online portal reported 11 deaths, while the Bild publication, citing rescuers, writes that the number of victims could reach 80 people.

Soon it became known that the suspect had been detained.

German media reported that during an inspection of the car used by the attacker, an object similar to an explosive device was found on its back seat.

The suspect was detained by the police.

Saxony-Anhalt state government spokesman Matthias Schuppe called the incident a terrorist attack.

Olaf Scholz expressed his condolences to the families of those killed and injured.

According to local media reports, he and Interior Minister Nancy Feiser will travel to Magdeburg on December 21.
