On Friday morning, Tesla CEO Elon Musk shared a controversial post on X that downplayed the actions of three infamous dictators from the 20th century – Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler, and Mao Zedong. The post falsely claimed that these leaders did not directly cause the deaths of millions of people under their rule, but rather their public sector workers were to blame. Musk shared the post without comment but quickly deleted it after facing criticism from users who called it antisemitic and dismissive of genocide.
This is not the first time Musk’s social media activity has stirred controversy. In the past, he has endorsed antisemitic content and made insensitive remarks related to political figures and historical events. Musk’s support of right-wing leaders and political parties has raised concerns among critics and organizations like the Anti-Defamation League.
Despite facing backlash, Musk has continued to use X as a platform to share his views on a wide range of topics, from memes to policy proposals. His close relationship with President Trump and his role in government spending decisions have brought more scrutiny to his online presence and statements.
Musk’s recent clash with public sector workers in Washington, as part of his cost-cutting initiative, has further fueled tensions. He has accused federal employees of fraudulent activities and encouraged them to resign, prompting backlash from unions and other groups.
In response to the criticism he received for sharing the controversial post, Musk defended himself on X, arguing that his critics were the ones aligned with Nazism. His actions and statements continue to draw attention and scrutiny from the public, highlighting the power and influence he holds as one of the world’s wealthiest individuals.
