Bill Burr Says Twitter Flagged His Account After He Mocked Elon Musk’s ‘Heart-Sending Gesture’
Bill Burr told his fans that Elon Musk is both a “fuckin’ baby” and “just like Hitler,” but I’d like to see him say that to Musk’s face — mostly because he’ll get banned if he tweets it.
Musk gets a lot of flak for platforming Nazi propaganda, making Nazi Salutes at political events and attempting a hostile, fascistic takeover of the federal government, but according to the legendary rant comedian Burr, all the constant online criticism of Musk isn’t nearly enough. Earlier this month, Burr went viral for angrily suggesting that the “rabid dog” billionaires who orchestrate all the division and inequality in America need to be “put down,” ruffling the feathers of Ben Shapiro and the pro-billionaire media who objected to such a general condemnation of the most successful members of our society. Well, the very next week, Burr got more specific.

On a recent episode of The Monday Morning Podcast, Burr unloaded on Musk as he accused the controversial Twitter owner, Tesla “founder” and government destabilizer of having his Twitter handle flagged after he made fun of Musk’s blatant Nazi salute– er, “awkward wave.”
Following Musk’s controversial speech at the re-inauguration of Donald Trump back in January where the tech mogul grabbed at his heart before extending his arm straight out toward the audience, Burr went on The Monday Morning Podcast and asked his listeners, “What happened to the Twitter guy?” saying of the CEO whose name he can’t be bothered to learn, “That guy has lost his fucking mind. … That fucking Twitter guy, he literally sieg’d heil! He didn’t just heil! You can accidentally heil … but when you add the sieg you meant it!”
Then, after Burr roasted Musk and the half-hearted excuses Musk’s supporters made for what was unmistakably a Nazi salute, Burr says that a butthurt Musk struck back in the only way he knows how — he censored Burr on Twitter. On last week’s Monday Morning Podcast, Burr reported, “I’ll tell you what was funny, I made fun of the fuckin’ Twitter guy for fuckin’ sieg heiling not once but twice, and — I never look at my emails — I was scrolling through my emails, and it said that my Twitter account had been flagged!”
“I don’t even tweet anymore!” Burr said of his non-presence on Musk’s platform, saying of the Twitter guy, “What a fuckin’ baby! Just like Hitler! A fuckin’ baby!”
Burr went on to rant about how Hitler was “one of the biggest fucking cowards ever” for killing himself instead of “facing the music” for his failed war, lamenting that “this is the world we live in” that he has to explain that “that ‘that guy’ was a bad guy that destroyed millions of people’s lives, families and his own country. His own countrymen paid the price for what he did.”
While Hitler certainly can’t strike back at Burr for such criticisms, Burr should be cautious as he escalates his beef with “the Twitter guy” and compares Musk to “that guy." Unlike Hitler, Musk already has his nuclear option ready to go, and, at any moment, he'll steal Burr's jokes and pass them off as his own.
