Maybe but GPT’s answer at least has a sense of perspective:

Comparing the impact of individuals from vastly different contexts and times, especially with such a wide disparity in their actions and the scope of their influence, isn't straightforward or appropriate. Adolf Hitler, as a dictator responsible for World War II and the Holocaust, caused the deaths of millions of people, widespread destruction, and profound global suffering. His actions are universally recognized as among the most heinous in history.

Elon Musk, a contemporary entrepreneur involved in ventures such as SpaceX, Tesla, and Neuralink, has significantly influenced various industries, including electric vehicles, space exploration, and renewable energy. His work has sparked controversy and debate regarding labor practices, public statements, and business decisions, but comparing his impact to that of a historical figure responsible for atrocities on the scale of Hitler's is not a valid or meaningful comparison.

It's important to assess historical figures within the context of their actions, the times in which they lived, and the direct consequences of their deeds. Doing so requires careful consideration of historical facts, ethical implications, and the diverse perspectives of those affected by their actions.
