In a conversation with AfD leader Alice Weidel on X, Musk concurred with her assertion that Adolf Hitler was a communist and pushed disinformation about migrants coming into the US.

      Eh, three arrows isn’t really a good source either. Being against Socialism/Communism (one of the arrows in the 3) is a big red flag for attacking claims of Nazis being Socialist. A much better source would be Blackshirts and Reds by Dr. Michael Parenti.

    Funniest are people quoting Goebbels who said something like that…

    Like… Bruh… You are falling for the tricks of the minister of propaganda of the Deutsches Reich of 1940 in 2025…

    Talk about misinformation: Wired purposefully didn’t cite actual statement which was: “The biggest success after that terrible era in our history was to label Adolf Hitler as right and conservative. He was exactly the opposite. He wasn’t a conservative. He wasn’t a libertarian. He was a communist socialist guy,”

    With the context it reads more like communist-like person, not literal communist.

    But the context be damned, we hate Elon and Wired confirms our bias so we eat misinformation like it’s a gospel written by God himself

      You’re overreacting too far the other way. Sure they’re not saying he was a duck, they’re saying he was a goose, but for many practical purposes, those two things are the same.

      Furthermore, they said what they said in the way that they said it to foment precisely this sort of confusion (or because they’re equally confused. Take your pick.). Did they go on to explicitly say “not an actual communist, but a bit like one”?

    Amazing how they are revising history. So was Hitler good or bad? I thought they are staunchly against communism?

    Edit: wait, so they are saying Hitler was bad because he was a communist and AfD is conservative and against communism? Incredible.

    Is this the whole “Nazis were socialists because it’s in the name” thing again? The far right love to pull this point out, ignoring the fact that as soon as he had power, Hitler had anyone remotely socialist in the Nazi party murdered so he could get on with the fascism. The name “National Socialist” was a trick to get people on board. Anyway, it figures that Musk thinks Hitler was too left wing, since Musk thinks the whole universe is too left wing. And it’s characteristic of Musk that being to the right of Hitler doesn’t even give him pause.

    Yeah, all the comments he made about the secret agenda of European jews to spread “judeobolshevism” through communist organizations and annihilate the Aryan race were just jokes about his good friends the communists. Him and Stalin were actually best buddies.

      It’s telling that it needs the second sentence you wrote for me to realize you were speaking about Hitler, not Elon. I don’t say he’s gone of that far, but it wouldn’t have supposed me at all.
