Elon Musk Defends Trump Against De Niro’s Comparison to Hitler, Labels Accusations ‘Unfounded’

In a recent interview on MSNBC’s The 11th Hour, Oscar-winning actor Robert De Niro unleashed a scathing attack on former US President Donald Trump, warning his supporters against voting for him again. De Niro didn’t mince words, describing Trump as “really, genuinely a sick person” and expressing his exhaustion by merely calling him names.

De Niro didn’t hold back in his criticism, asserting that a second term for Trump would be incredibly perilous, emphasizing that his supporters “don’t understand how dangerous it will be” if Trump returns to power. He painted a grim picture of what he believes a Trump presidency would entail, labeling it as “chaos beyond our imagination,” and branding Trump as a “monster.”

Drawing a historical parallel, De Niro likened Trump to infamous dictators like Hitler and Mussolini, suggesting that they were initially underestimated by society, much like Trump. He emphasized the danger of underestimating such figures, citing the atrocities committed under their regimes.

When asked if he would consider portraying Trump on screen, De Niro flatly refused, stating that there’s “not one redeeming thing” about Trump that he can see.

De Niro made his political allegiance clear, expressing his support for incumbent President Joe Biden, whom he described as a “good guy” trying to do the right thing. He urged Biden and his campaign to confront Trump aggressively, likening him to a bully who needs to be stood up to.

However, De Niro’s outspoken comments sparked a response from Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who took issue with De Niro’s comparison of Trump to Hitler. Musk reminded De Niro that Trump’s policies were vastly different from Hitler’s, citing the Abraham Accords as evidence of Trump’s positive impact, particularly in the Middle East.

Musk’s rebuttal prompted reactions from social media users, with some praising Musk for his response and others questioning his political leanings. Musk’s recent statements indicate a shift in his political stance, with him suggesting a need for a “red wave” in American politics, a departure from his previous Democratic voting history.

The exchange between De Niro and Musk underscores the polarizing nature of American politics and the ongoing debate over Trump’s legacy and impact.
