X owner Elon Musk on Friday criticized actor Robert De Niro on his social media platform after the “Heat” star compared former President Trump to infamous dictators Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini.

Musk responded to a clip of De Niro’s remarks from MSNBC’s “11th Hour with Stephanie Ruhle,” responding that Trump’s policies “do not resemble” those of either dictator and declaring that the actor’s latest anti-Trump rant “Has no sense”.

“There’s nothing redeeming about him that I can ever see. Ever,” he said.

He also explained to Ruhle what he would tell voters holding their noses to vote for him in the 2024 presidential election: “I don’t get it. I don’t get it, I don’t think they understand how dangerous it will be. “If ever, “God forbid he becomes president, I don’t think they really understand.”

He went on to compare the former president to some of the worst figures in history. “And historically, from what I’ve seen, even in Nazi Germany, they had it with Hitler. They don’t take him seriously.” He acts like a clown. “Mussolini. Same thing. These guys, I don’t know why, look like clowns.”

“But it would be chaos beyond our imagination,” De Niro said, entertaining the idea that Trump could win the White House again.

Once the clip reached X, Musk felt the need to speak. He responded, “Well, Trump was already president for 4 years and his policies were nothing like Hitler’s, so this doesn’t make sense.”
