I see it more as a troll post towards public sector workers.
A guy like Hitler probably never pulled the trigger on anyone outside of WW1. In fact it was said that he was very squeamish about violence, to the point where he'd turn his head to look away from violent films. Stalin was probably more "hands-on" during his early days as a bank robber, kidnapper and torturer for Lenin's cause. He was implicated to be involved in bombings that claimed countless lives.
None of them could've done what they did without a great number of thugs working under them, willingly committing atrocities in their name.

Please don't tell me this is an actual discussion lol if you don't get the context of the joke. Just move on.
Literally no one thinks that Hitler personally killed 6 million Jews. Its understood by everyone that he ordered the murder of 6 million Jews.
This is dumb shit by Musk acting as if "public sector workers" just decided to commit mass murder on their own and that somehow justifies DOGE dismantling the federal government lest some kind of spontaneous genocide occurs.

He definitely has something, but the difference is that even autistic people know that you can’t go around saying that Hitler was not a bad guy

You got to be a special kind of retarded to interpret this as Musk 'absolving' these murderous dictators.
Reality Check - Stalin, Mao, and Hitler never personally murdered anyone. He gave orders to their underlings to do it, and they followed their orders.
Not it's not surprising the left is this conveniently retarded. They believe Musk actually gave a Nazi salute and actually is a Nazi.

Probably more true for Stalin and Mao than Hitler.
Particularly Stalin
Most communist atrocities and murders were bureaucratic in nature. Especially true for Soviet Union under Stalin.
While I’m sure the holocaust had its paper pushers and “public servants”. It was primarily militaristic. So the buck stops with Hitler and a few others there.
He could’ve drawn a good analogy to the potential violence of a “deep state” if he focused on Stalin.
On paper there really was few differences between communists and fascists, other than the fact they hated each other despite both being totalitarian and brutal dictators.
The bureaucratic killing machine by design that was the Soviet Union rather than a party that was a killing machine.

I rarely blame politicians or "leaders" for atrocities committed by ordinary people. Laws etc. don't really exist and we are responsible for our actions. If you want to follow lunatics or whatever you read on a piece of paper, go for it, but don't blame them for the shits you're doing.

Like I said, it's just a troll post, from what is by now a well-established troll in Elon Musk. However it's interesting (in a morbid sense) to think about how many people the dictators themselves killed directly. I believe Mao, Stalin definitely did commit murders by their own hands in their revolutionary days, Hitler I'm not entirely sure about, since he was a dispatch runner in WW1, a role that wouldn't see too much combat. I reckon he probably did shoot someone during the war.
