Elon Musk appears unhappy that the German government provided a little more than $2 million to groups that aid migrants, include one that conducts search-and-rescue operations.

I find it depressing that not wanting migrants to drown, is framed as 'support for migrants' and somehow left wing.
If a suspected rapist was drowning in a pond, I'd expect the police to save them, then jail them. Leaving people to die without any right to a trial or to be heard, is simply sociopathic.
It's perfectly possible to have a hardline anti-migration policy, which doesn't involve allowing thousands of people to drown.

The chancellor's party is center-left in the typical European social democrat way, he himself is more of a moderate. But the current coalition polls at around 40%, so calling Germany very left-leaning is a very optimistic statement.
