The repost, later deleted by Musk, said: "Stalin, Mao, and Hitler didn’t murder millions of people. Their public sector employees did.”

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

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 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.

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

Elon Musk shared a controversial post suggesting that mass killings by Hitler, Stalin, and Mao were conducted by public sector workers, not the dictators. The tweet implies criticism of federal employees under Trump's administration.
