Elon Musk Posts Meme Comparing Trudeau To Hitler

The Daily Beast reports:

Elon Musk—the world’s wealthiest man and oldest teenage boy—is showing his ass on Twitter again. Musk posted a meme that unfavorably compared Canada’s democratically elected prime minister Justin Trudeau to Adolf Hitler to make some deeply confused point about the anti-vaccine-mandate trucker protests and cryptocurrency.

He must apologize immediately. https://t.co/jZzVyii6IU
