Musk Retweets Post Saying Hitler Didn’t Murder Millions

Musk, who has over 219 million followers on X, formerly known as Twitter, retweeted a post saying Soviet revolutionary Joseph Stalin, former Chinese Communist Party chairman Mao Zedong and Hitler—whose regime under his direction orchestrated the Holocaust—did not murder millions of people, “Their public sector workers did.”

The post had 1 million views and 14,000 likes as of Thursday evening.

Musk has faced antisemitism allegations since 2023, when the billionaire openly agreed with a post that claimed “Jewish communities have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them.” The post also said the western Jewish population was “coming to the disturbing realization that those hordes of minorities that support flooding their country don't exactly like them too much,” to which Musk said, “You have said the actual truth.”

  • I did not change the title as per community rules. But the title is misleading.

    The full quote was disparaging the public sector employees, suggesting it was "the public sector employees" who perpetrated the Holocaust. You want a quick debunk?

    • The Holocaust was decided by the higher echelons of the Nazi party, including Hitler.
    • Goebbels has written about it in his diaries.
    • Hoess was supervisor in Auschwitz II, and has written extensively about the daily murders in the gas chambers.
    • Himmler gave an infamous speech to raise the morale of the SS who had PTSD from the massacres in the Eastern Front.

    From Wikipedia:

    Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler became the chief architect of a new plan, which came to be called The Final Solution to the Jewish question.[20] On 31 July 1941, Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring wrote to Reinhard Heydrich (Himmler's deputy and chief of the RSHA),[21][22] authorising him to make the "necessary preparations" for a "total solution of the Jewish question" and coordinate with all affected organizations. Göring also instructed Heydrich to submit concrete proposals for the implementation of the new projected goal.[23][24]

    The plans to exterminate all the Jews of Europe were formalized at the Wannsee Conference, held at an SS guesthouse near Berlin,[28] on 20 January 1942. The conference was chaired by Heydrich and attended by 15 senior officials of the Nazi Party and the German government. Most of those attending were representatives of the Interior Ministry, the Foreign Ministry, and the Justice Ministry, including Ministers for the Eastern Territories.

    After all, I have zero fucks left for Musk: he hates blacks, women, and trans people to a degree comparable to how Hitler hated Jewish people, that his actual antisemitic sentiment would not change a thing. Whether he starts revisiting or denying the death camps tomorrow will surprise exactly zero people. We are past that point.

    There is no ongoing discussion about him being a Nazi or not. He fucking is. As a major propagandist of this despicable operation he will have the same fate as the original Nazi leaders, and that is for sure.

    The tweet in question is to interpreted as vilification of the administrative branch, and serve as positional defense at a moment where he risks being held accountable for DOGE cuts. This is how it should be interpreted.

  • While simultaneously crying that no one wants to buy his cars.

    Competent people have a firm grasp of cause and effect.
