Twitter

In the early hours of Thursday morning, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk tweeted a meme that compared Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau with Adolf Hitler.

The tweet, replying to cryptocurrency enthusiasts, included a photo of Hitler with the phrase "stop comparing me to Justin Trudeau" and "I had a budget," a reference to the industrialized murder of millions of people by the German regime in extermination camps during the 1940s.

Twitter

In the past, Musk has tweeted his support for the "freedom convoy" protests, a right-wing movement funded mostly from the US that has been causing civil unrest in neighboring Canada.

Earlier this week, Prime Minister Trudeau invoked Canada's Emergencies Act, which gives the Canadian government the power to freeze the bank accounts of people supporting the blockades without a court order.

Musk finally deleted the tweet after approximately 12 hours.
