Elon Musk has reposted a tweet suggesting that Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and Mao Zedong were not responsible for murdering millions of people.
The post amplified by Musk to his 219.6 million followers blamed public sector workers for the atrocities carried out in the name of some of the most barbarous tyrants in modern history.
It was unclear whether the DOGE boss was seeking to defend the infamously ruthless former leaders of Germany, China, and the Soviet Union, or seeking to encourage debate over the mass killings carried out in their names.
The MAGA millionaire shared a post on his X platform by an account with the username @TheAlice Smith that read: Stalin, Mao and Hitler didnt murder millions of people. Their public sector workers did.

Is he preemptively exonerating himself (and Trump) for what their fanboys are no doubt gearing up to do?

He's as much of a menace as Trump; the only difference is that he's an overt and proud Nazi while Trump tries to pretend he isn't one.

So the Trumpsters shoot this hateful shit out their mouths to distract from yesterday's devastating defeat.
