Elon Musk, tasked earlier this year with firing thousands of federal workers across the United States, shared a post that blamed “public sector employees” for mass killings committed under Adolf Hitler and other dictators.

Musk's repost, which now appears to be deleted, drew furious reactions from workers and the Anti- Defamation League.

The post falsely claimed that Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler and Mao Zedong were not responsible for the murders of millions of people, but rather public sector workers were.
