Instead, the post said, their public sector workers did.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Musk shared the post without any other comment. He removed it soon after users on X criticized the post, saying it was antisemitic and dismissive of genocide. Historians have widely chronicled that millions of people died under Stalin in the 1950s, that millions of Jews were massacred under Hitler during the Holocaust, and that millions of Chinese were displaced or killed during Mao\u2019s cultural revolution.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It was the latest post by Mr. Musk to devolve into controversy. In 2023, Mr. Musk <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/11\/16\/technology\/elon-musk-endorses-antisemitic-post-ibm.html\" title=\"\">endorsed an antisemitic post on X<\/a> as \u201cthe actual truth\u201d of what Jewish people were doing, prompting advertisers to flee. And after an assassination attempt on Mr. Trump last year, Mr. Musk wrote \u2014 then deleted \u2014 <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/09\/16\/us\/politics\/musk-deleted-tweet-biden-kamala.html\" title=\"\">a post suggesting it was odd<\/a> that nobody had tried to kill former President Joseph R. Biden Jr. or former Vice President Kamala Harris.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Musk has long appeared to favor strongmen and has promoted right wing modern-day leaders. He has repeatedly <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/05\/12\/technology\/elon-musk-world-leaders.html\" title=\"\">used X to support politicians<\/a> like Javier Milei of Argentina, Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil and Narendra Modi of India, leaders in countries where he also has business interests. Most recently, he <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/24\/world\/europe\/musk-afd-weidel-call.html\" title=\"\">threw his support<\/a> behind the hard-right Alternative for Germany party, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/01\/09\/world\/europe\/germany-elon-musk-afd.html\" title=\"\">hosting an online town hall<\/a> for its candidate for chancellor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt is deeply disturbing and irresponsible for someone with a large public platform to elevate the kind of rhetoric that serves to undermine the seriousness of these issues,\u201d the Anti-Defamation League said in a statement about Mr. Musk\u2019s sharing of the post.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Musk did not respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Musk frequently <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/04\/technology\/elon-musk-x-doge.html\" title=\"\">uses X as a megaphone<\/a> to share everything from juvenile memes to major U.S. policy proposals, blasting his opinions to his more than 219 million followers. But his viewpoints are drawing more scrutiny since he has become a close adviser to President Trump <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/28\/us\/politics\/musk-doge-timeline-takeaways.html\" title=\"\">helping overhaul government spending<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/11\/03\/technology\/elon-musk-x-election.html\" title=\"\">Mr. Musk has transformed X<\/a>, removing many rules around hate speech and disinformation and allowing thousands of accounts banned by the company\u2019s prior leadership for problematic posts to return to the platform \u2014 <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/08\/12\/technology\/donald-trump-elon-musk-x.html\" title=\"\">including Mr. Trump<\/a>\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Around 2:30 a.m. on Friday, Mr. Musk shared the post written by an X user that said, \u201cStalin, Hitler and Mao didn\u2019t murder millions of people. Their public sector workers did.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Musk in recent weeks has battled with public sector workers in Washington as part of his work with his cost-cutting initiative, known as the Department of Government Efficiency. He has accused federal workers of trying to conceal fraud and encouraged them to quit their jobs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The post sparked backlash from federal employee unions, among others.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cAmerica\u2019s public service workers \u2014 our nurses, teachers, firefighters, librarians \u2014 chose making our communities safe, healthy and strong over getting rich. They are not, as the world\u2019s richest man implies, genocidal murderers,\u201d Lee Saunders, the president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Musk on Friday shared several comments on X defending himself from accusations of antisemitism and claiming his critics were the ones aligned with Nazism. Mr. Musk also recently came under fire for a <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/01\/20\/us\/politics\/elon-musk-hand-gesture-speech.html\" title=\"\">making a gesture<\/a> that resembled the Roman salute, which is also known as the \u201cFascist salute\u201d and was later adopted by the Nazis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cLook at what they did to President @realDonaldTrump,\u201d Mr. Musk wrote in one post. \u201cHe was loved by democrats until he ran for president. Now they call him Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, etc and try to kill him,\u201d referring to another dictator, the Italian fascist leader <a class=\"css-yywogo\"
