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.

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

This is all normal enough, but his latest retweet has outraged people on Twitter as he shared a post that attempted to downplay the role Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and Mao Zedong had on the deaths of millions. The retweeted post read: “Stalin, Mao, and Hitler didn’t murder millions of people. Their public sector workers did.”
