Bill Burr Slams Elon Musk For Giving 'Shoutout To Hitler'
HuffPost
The standup comedian, who has repeatedly attacked the tech billionaire in recent weeks, also had a scathing review of Tesla vehicles.
Bill Burr isn’t letting up on Elon Musk and his newfound political power.
The comedian, who sat down Friday with “The Breakfast Club” in New York City, noted that Musk has “Sieg Heiled twice” in public but somehow “still has a job.”
Musk twice made a gesture that many interpreted as a Nazi salute at a celebration for President Donald Trump after his inauguration. He then made light of the resulting criticism on social media, and told podcaster Joe Rogan the backlash was “coordinated propaganda.”
“What I don’t get is the amount of veterans, people in the armed services, that died trying to stop Hitler, and then this guy comes in, you know, and does that — while being an immigrant, too,” Burr said Friday. “The whole thing, none of it tracks, how you can be, ‘Support the troops,’ ‘America, love it or leave it,’ and then this guy comes in and gives a shoutout to Hitler.”
Musk spent a fortune to help reelect Trump, who then made the tech billionaire a “special government employee.” Musk is now leading the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, which is dismantling federal agencies under the purported aim of slashing wasteful public spending.
