Elon Musk shared a controversial post on X that denied the role of Stalin, Hitler, and Mao in causing the deaths of millions of people under their rule, instead attributing it to their public sector workers. The post was quickly deleted after sparking criticism for being antisemitic and dismissive of genocide.
This is not the first time Musk has courted controversy on social media. In the past, he has endorsed antisemitic posts, made incendiary comments about President Trump, and supported right-wing leaders around the world. His recent actions have drawn scrutiny as he has become a close adviser to the President, playing a role in government spending and policy.
Musk’s use of X as a platform to share his opinions has intensified since he has removed restrictions on hate speech and allowed banned accounts to return, including Trump’s. This latest incident comes as Musk has been embroiled in a battle with public sector workers in Washington as part of his cost-cutting initiative.
Critics have accused Musk of promoting dangerous rhetoric and undermining serious issues through his social media posts. Despite the backlash, Musk has defended himself on X, claiming his critics are the ones aligned with Nazism and pointing out the treatment of President Trump. The controversy surrounding Musk’s online presence continues to grow as he wields influence on political and social issues.
