After comparing Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to Adolf Hitler, Elon Musk gets chastised by the Auschwitz-Birkenau museum in a tweet.
Musk tweeted a meme, which was later deleted, of Adolf Hitler with the words "Stop comparing me to Justin Trudeau" at the top, while "I had a budget" at the bottom.

Auschwitz-Birkenau museum contended that the image "disrespects the memory of all victims and hurts many people."
“Using the image of Adolf Hitler & therefore exploiting the tragedy of all people who suffered, were humiliated, tortured & murdered by the totalitarian regime of Nazi Germany created by him is sad & disturbing,” the museum replied to Musk's meme.
However, what he did do was post another tweet suggesting his Twitter followers read a book about the economic history of Nazi Germany for “an in-depth explanation.”
Musk has spoken in support of the trucker protestors, who have been protesting against COVID-19 mandates.
In January, he posted an image of the trucks which were lined up and captioned it "Canadian truckers rule." In another post, he compared protest suppression to fascism: “If the Canadian government is suppressing peaceful protests, that’s where fascism lies.”
