On his social media platform X, Musk denied De Niro’s comparison, asserting that Trump’s four years as president prior to then did not bear similarities to the totalitarian regimes of Hitler or Mussolini.

He remarked, “Well, this makes no sense,” citing the fact that Trump had already held office for four years and that his policies were unrelated to those of Adolf Hitler. Musk also brought up the Abraham Accords, highlighting the significant departure between Trump’s actions and what Hitler would have approved of.

Fighting between the Republicans and De Niro

De Niro has been vocal in his condemnation of Trump and has called attention to the dangers he believes the country faces. In answer to questions on why some voters may consider voting for Trump again, he stated, “I don’t get it.” They are unaware of how dangerous it will be in the extremely improbable case that he wins the presidency, in my opinion. I don’t think they really understand.

In addition, the actor talked about the “banality of evil” and the entitlement he sees in both Trump and his role, drawing parallels between the president and his antagonistic role in Martin Scorsese’s crime drama “Killer of the Flower Moon,” which is set in 2023.

De Niro has long been an opponent of Trump; most famously, in the 2018 Tony Awards, he called Trump derogatory names. His steadfast stance reveals a deep-seated fear about what Trump might do to the US.

In sharp contrast to De Niro’s gloomy warnings, Musk’s reaction to X emphasizes the ongoing conversation about Trump’s presidency and its implications. The two well-known people continue to argue their different points of view in the debate.
