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

Elon Musk, tasked earlier this year with firing thousands of federal workers across the United States, shared a post that blamed “public sector employees” for mass killings committed under Adolf Hitler and other dictators.

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, originally shared by another user, read, "Stalin, Mao and Hitler didn’t murder millions of people. Their public sector workers did."

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 retweeted a post that blamed the atrocities committed by Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and Mao Zedong on public sector workers.
