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.
