Elon Musk Deletes Tweet Promoting Tucker Carlson’s Interview With Hitler-Loving ‘Historian’

Elon Musk has deleted his tweet promoting Tucker Carlson’s interview with a self-proclaimed historian who tried whitewashing the Holocaust.

Carlson on Monday published a new episode of The Tucker Carlson Show with podcaster Darryl Cooper. During their lengthy conversation, Cooper called Winston Churchill the “chief villain” of World War II and claimed the millions killed during the Holocaust were an unintended result of Germany taking in prisoners of war without being prepared to do so.

Musk called the interview “very interesting” and “worth watching.”

Sometime after posting that tweet, however, Musk backtracked on that praise and deleted it. It is no longer on his timeline.

It’s unknown why exactly Musk chose to delete the tweet but it may have had something to do with the discovery that Cooper has a habit of siding with Adolf Hitler on a number of issues.

Hours after Carlson published the episode, Cooper doubled down with a lengthy thread explaining why he felt Churchill was the “chief villain” of the war. In the thread, he continued to argue that Churchill was worse than Hitler.
