    Talk about misinformation: Wired purposefully didn’t cite actual statement which was: “The biggest success after that terrible era in our history was to label Adolf Hitler as right and conservative. He was exactly the opposite. He wasn’t a conservative. He wasn’t a libertarian. He was a communist socialist guy,”

    With the context it reads more like communist-like person, not literal communist.

    But the context be damned, we hate Elon and Wired confirms our bias so we eat misinformation like it’s a gospel written by God himself

    Communists were literally one of the first groups targeted for arrest when Hitler came to power in 1933. Like 10 seconds on google.
