During a livestreamed chat, Elon Musk appeared to claim that Adolf Hitler was a communist, sparking outrage. Musk's known leanings towards right-wing views and public support for the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party have already raised eyebrows. The conversation also touched on free speech and media control, with the AfD co-leader claiming that controlling the media was key to Hitler's success. German intelligence agencies have classified the AfD as a potential extremist group.
