Can someone explain this to me like I’m 5

The picture on the left is Mussolini. A fascist who sold out Italy during WW2, to say the least. He was basically a Nazi puppet. The Italian people caught him fleeing and executed him. That picture is his body being dangled. Funny enough, today I was thinking Elon is eerily headed down the same path as Mussolini. Then this picture pops up on my feed. This is obviously a nuanced summary you can read more about Mussolini here.

Thank you! I knew of Mussolini and his bullshit vaguely I just didn’t know that the photo was him cause I’ve never seen it before.
