A Polish government minister called for a boycott of Tesla Inc. vehicles after billionaire Elon Musk said there was “too much focus on past guilt” in an apparent reference to Germany’s wartime atrocities under the Nazis.

Mr Tusk denounced the words as "all too familiar and ominous", and his tourism minister, Sławomir Nitras, has gone even further and called for Polish citizens - around 6 million of whom died in the Holocaust - to launch a boycott of Tesla vehicles in response.
