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.”

    “Death is the most reliable form of sterilization”

    An except from Conspiracy, a movie showing how the top level bureaucrats and SS officers arrived at the “Final Solution” based on the notes from the actual conference.

    Edit: also this excerpt in which they discuss the mechanics of mass euthanasia. This shit should be the hardest stuff you watch all week. THIS is the kind of shit we’re fighting to prevent from ever happening again. THIS shit HAPPENED and it CAN happen again. To you. Your spouse. Your parents. Your children, nieces, nephews, grandchildren. The ONLY thing keeping it from boiling back up is our collective societal prohibition against it, whereby we surgically excise the malignant tumors and dissolve the cultural cancer cells clamoring for another genocide.

    “An assembly line”. If this excerpt doesn’t chill your marrow, please DM me because I want to study your mind. Imagine these cold, unfeeling men talking about the demographic housing your mother or daughter or spouse or you. Imagine the collective life experience, number of childhood smiles, acts of kindness, and raw tears disappearing at a rate of 2,500 per hour, with lungs and throats afire in a remote gray building under a dark sky.

    Tell me again how Hitler didn’t “murder” anyone. Just because he may not have personally pulled a trigger, thrown a switch, or pushed a button doesn’t mean he’s not drenched in victims’ blood.

      And that’s not happening.
