Musk and Tesla have faced heightened criticism since the billionaire made a gesture likened to a Nazi salute during an inaugural event in January.

As Tesla stocks continue their free-fall into the abyss, billionaire edgelord Elon Musk thinks defending literal Hitler might somehow stop the bleeding. The SpaceX founder has reposted a tweet claiming that history’s infamous dictators weren’t actually responsible for murdering people.

The post falsely claimed that Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler and Mao Zedong were not responsible for the murders of millions of people, but rather public sector workers were.

Elon Musk has sparked backlash after the billionaire reposted on his social media platform X, formerly Twitter, a post which declared that Hitler “didn’t murder millions of people,” but rather it was public sector employees.
