According to Reuters, on February 16, local time, Musk posted a picture of Hitler on his personal social platform, with the caption: Refusing to compare me with Justin Trudeau; and also writing: I have a budget, the content caused a controversy.
Subsequently, it was also written that if the Canadian government took any measures to suppress peaceful protests, then fascism existed and there was no human rights to speak of.
Musk compared Canadian President Justin Trudeau to Hitler in an attempt to express support for the Canadian truckers demonstration. And Musk, as the CEO of Tesla in the United States, an international public figure, sent out such content, which quickly attracted international attention.
According to media reports, on the 17th, Musk was severely criticized by the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum. You know, the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum is currently the largest Nazi concentration camp and extermination camp, just a tragic history, and the harm caused to the Jews is irreparable. Schindler's list comes from this, and it is also a shock to history.
During Hitler's time, more than 6 million Jews were persecuted, and he was also the initiator of the Second World War, an extremist who could not exist for the world and the nation.
Therefore, the museum condemned Musk's behavior, saying that Musk used Hitler's image to once again evoke national memories, which invisibly hurt many people again, and it is also disrespectful to the victims and the nation. It will cause panic among the people and social unrest, and the content should be deleted immediately.
At the same time, the American Jewish Council also made a statement on the matter, the world-rich man's statement is impossible to accept, and he publicly apologized for his behavior. At the same time, it was also pointed out that Musk tried to publish the so-called "sharp" views through social platforms, which is disrespectful to the country and the nation, and this behavior must be stopped immediately.
After being condemned by many parties, Musk deleted the relevant content, but did not make any apologies and explanations for the matter. Even though the content has now been removed, the controversy is always there.
According to media reports, immediately after Musk released the content, he received more than 35,000 likes, about 10,000 reprints and many comments. Musk thought that he had nearly 75 million followers, so he got an immediate response in a short period of time.
On the one hand, some people think that Musk is doing a great job, agree, and high-profile comments: The next car must be Tesla. It is absurd to express support for Musk in this way.
On the other hand, netizens believe that Musk compared Trudeau with Hitler, which is a very excessive behavior, after all, Trudeau, as the Prime Minister of Canada, it is necessary to make relevant prevention and control measures on the epidemic, at present, the country should not be used as the target of attack, and now there is only one international enemy, that is, the new crown epidemic.
Hitler's responsibility for the Second World War, both past and future, is a historical memory that should be respected.
According to relevant media reports, Musk did not apologize for the incident, so the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum also released a dynamic response to him, hoping that he would read more books about Nazis, in addition, also learn more about Trudeau's behavior, and finally review whether his behavior was correct.
