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.

Musk and Tesla have faced heightened criticism since the billionaire made a gesture likened to a Nazi salute during an inaugural event in January.
