WASHINGTON, DC: Bill Burr once again accused tech billionaire Elon Musk of being a Nazi when he joined the Friday, March 14 episode of 'The Breakfast Club' podcast, reported Mediaite.

Earlier this week, the 56-year-old comedian made a similar accusation on NPR's 'Fresh Air', saying, "That guy, like he’s going to lead– like who evidently is a Nazi. Like, I just refuse to believe that it was an accidental two-time Sieg Heil. And he does it at a presidential inauguration."

He went on to slam liberals for not protesting strongly enough against the SpaceX CEO, noting, "This is why I hate liberals. It’s like liberals have no teeth whatsoever."



 

Bill Burr calls out Elon Musk for giving a 'shoutout to Hitler'

Appearing on the podcast hosted by Charlamagne tha God, Bill Burr brought up the subject of Elon Musk performing what appeared to be a Nazi salute twice during Donald Trump's second presidential inauguration on January 20.

"What I don’t get is the amount of veterans, people in the armed services, that died to stop Hitler. And then this guy (Musk) comes in, you know, and does that, while being an immigrant too which is — the whole thing, none of it tracks," he said.

Musk, who was born in apartheid South Africa, seemingly gave a "shoutout to Hitler," claimed Burr. He went on to call him out for his work with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

In their efforts to cut "wasteful" government spending, DOGE sent out an email to federal employees asking them to list their accomplishments.

"I don’t understand why they’re so upset with this country. You’re billionaires. I think it’s working for you. Why are you going and telling everybody, justify what you do. It’s like, justify what you do! That piece of s**t car you’re making that the government financed," slammed Barr, referring to Musk's companies securing billions in federal funds. 

The comedian went on to point out, "I’m not trashing Republicans. All Republicans did not Sieg Heil. That guy did, and I was just amazed that all liberals had was one day of outrage. Then they’re like, ‘Oh, I guess that didn’t work.’ And I guess we just kind of move on."

One wrote, "I can not take anyone seriously who compares people to Adolf Hitler. It just shows me how clueless they are," and another said, "He used to be funny. Now he just hates like the rest of them."

"Bill Burr went from being a very very funny comedian to a guy who takes himself much too seriously and thinks people care about his opinion," a person remarked, while someone else added, "The Woke Mind Virus got him."

"Bill should be happy he made a lot of money already. His career is over now," another comment read. One more said, "Not only is this narrative getting old, but it has never had any credibility."
