Musk said that Germany's current population should not feel guilt for the country's past, referring to the nation's Nazi history.
"I think there's, like, frankly too much of a focus on past guilt (in Germany), and we need to move beyond that," Musk said via video link at the rally.
"Children should not be guilty of the sins of their parents, or even let alone their parents, their great grandparents."
Musk made headlines recently when he appeared to perform a Nazi salute on stage at an inauguration event for US President Donald Trump.
Scholz said Musk's comments were "disgusting", especially in the wake of the Holocaust remembrance movements in recent days.
