The post said Hitler was better than Elon.

Does anyone else feel like saying Elon is worse than Hitler would be more acceptable than saying Hitler was better than Elon? It strikes me as odd because they are essentially the same statement but they just hit so differently.

You’re right. The connotation is different. “X is better than Y”, is generally implying “Y is good but X is even better”. “X is worse than Y” would be “Y is bad but X is even worse”.

It included a photo of Hitler with the caption, "At least now the world know, why he did, what he did."
