Billionaire Elon Musk recently reposted a tweet making fun of a recent report by The Atlantic, which likened Trump to ‘Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini.’ In the repost Musk wrote, “I can’t stop laughing”
The Atlantic article said: “Trump Is Speaking Like Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini” draws a symbolism between the dictators and the former US President. The article discusses how Donald Trump‘s rhetoric in the 2024 election mirrors the authoritarian language used by dictators like Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin.
According to the article, Trump has revived terms like “vermin” and “poisoning the blood” to dehumanize political opponents and immigrants. Such language was historically tied to regimes that used mass violence and oppression. The article claims that now because of Trump these words are now entering American politics.
The article argues that Trump’s deliberate use of this narrative signals a dangerous shift, as he embraces a style aimed at polarising society and inciting fear for political gain.
The tweet sparked an internet debate where people felt such narratives can create an echo chamber to reinforce their own opinions instead of having meaningful discussions.
One user said, “The only people dehumanizing are the ones who talk about Trump.” Another wrote, “They’re just throwing everything at the wall at this point.”
While others claimed, “You know they’ve lost the plot when they have to revert to recycling old, worn-out, and failed narratives of the past.”
Some questioned the sanctity of the media and said that the media has lost its credibility and is pure evil. Reports like these are the reason the former President was shot in the first place.
