UPDATE: Less than an hour after publishing this story, Elon Musk apparently deleted the Hitler joke tweet in question. We’re not saying we had any effect on this decision, given its widespread coverage, but... we’re not not saying it, either.
At 2:46 am EST this morning, Elon Musk tweeted a joke about Hitler. Responding to a cryptocurrency website’s tweet about Canada’s Freedom Convoy of anti-vaccine mandate insurrectionists, Tesla’s Technoking uploaded a photograph of Nazi Germany’s genocidal führer emblazoned with “Stop comparing Justin Trudeau to me. I had a budget,” in the standard bold, white meme font.
