      I’m sure that tweet was also providing location of Elon’s jet, so it is justified.

    The post in question appeared on the X page belonging to Afnan Ullah Khan, a member of the Senate in Pakistan, The Jerusalem Post reported. It included a photo of Hitler with the caption, “At least now the world know, why he did, what he did.”

    Great voters and politicians over in Pakistan.
