I'm confident this guy is serious and insane, but if you read it as satire, it really hits home.

It's definitely satire. The status is the clue. Also a lot of what he says makes him sound like an idiot in a business context.
The influencers post stuff like this often I guess.
I'm pretty sure this is satire. It was posted earlier without the name obscured, and it's a comedian.
When you can't tell anymore, it's very telling. Mirepoix is tasty and the onions are cut very finely in it.
This is Poe's Law. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe's_law
Poe's law is an adage of Internet culture which says that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, any parodic or sarcastic expression of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views.[

The irony of this is that Hitler did have good business connections. Fascism cannot rise to power without strong support of big industry. Trump is trying to forge similar connections with the oil industry currently, offering to slash environmental regulations in exchange for a big campaign donation.
Good thing the rest of the world isn't as oil thirsty as the US
They're not?
Comparatively no, people drive about half the miles on year per average in europe and there are more households without cars.
Also less consumption per capita
And then for developing nations it's not even close

I'm not sure how many stock options there were in 19th century rural Austria.
You definitely had the ability to invest in the US/UK stock markets from Berlin during the 1920s. The Black Tuesday 1929 Wall Street crash kicked off a shockwave of economic contraction that toppled multiple European governments, Germany included.
I have to assume that a hypothetical alt-history Hitler who was heavily invested in the DOW Jones in 1929 would have felt just about the same way.
In 1929 Hitler was already well and truly...well, Hitler, and hated the "Jewish" stock market.
Not so much that he rejected IBM, Standard Oil, Eastman-Kodak, or Coca-Cola.
Slavery = bad
Wage slavery = good??
he can have power of people in a business context, which is always morally good
Man, what???
mf wants to turn hitler into an investor, ignoring the economic state of the Weimer Republic
If I were a good writer, I would write a science fiction story that was about a guy who goes back in time and convinces the art school that this Hitler kid isn't very good yet, but he has a lot of promise, so accept him.
So I hang around social media with a lot of Nazis (I have a fake white Facebook alt to befriend them and get them banned), and many of them collect prints of Hitler's art. It's pretty awful.
Oh, I know. He had technical skill but no creativity.
Eh, you're only delaying the holocaust for about a year that way. Hitler was a talentless hack and he'd never make it in the art world in any timeline.
Maybe, but I still think it would be an entertaining story.
It's sort of like this comic but longer.
Went back in time and killed history's greatest monster, Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
You would need to teach him the way of the artist statement. His bullshit would be 100 years ahead of anyone else and he would effortlessly conquer the art world. Men would still be wearing those goofy little moustaches and people would rob banks wearing masks of his face.
I was with them until CEO lording over people = Good.
How about just sending him to art school?

Using LinkedIn here is cheating.
This dude really looked at fucking Adolf Hitler and said "man, he'd make a great CEO"
I mean
Sooo... Hitler in that timeline would yet be another capitalist growing their wealth thanks to the mass-murder and exploitation people like Hitler in this timeline creates.
So he'd be just another BMW, Mercedes, Volkswagen, Bayer, GM, IBM---oh geeze this list is long.

Yeah, can this guy tell us again how companies are morally good life-saving constructs and the uber-rich wouldn't just find some other atrocity to profit from? 🤔
Germany just invaded Poland. Here's how it will effect B2B SaaS:
Sanest Linkedin user.
If you read it in Chris Parnell's voice, it all makes perfect sense.
LinkedIn is entirely populated by Leo Spaceman's.
Yeah, but... What can you do? Medicine is not a science!

I call LinkedIn occupational hubris
I come from a big accounting firm, so most of what I see are former colleagues who've made partner posting about occupational efficiencies and how much financial gain they accomplish.
Some of them are complete blithering idiots who've failed upwards and now think they're geniuses
Others are just complete psychopaths who would gladly shiv their own mothers in the neck for a fraction of a step up the ladder. Hell, they would boast about doing so.
The latter facilitates and nurtures a toxic culture of stabbing your coworkers in the back at every possible opportunity for your own gain wherein saying anything good about a coworker, especially a subordinate, is a sign of weakness and considered sinful.
But on LinkedIn, they're all the heroes of their own narratives.
Why do people ask him about Hitler so much
The "profit solves everything" guys.
I’m pretty sure it’s just Bret Easton Ellis.
A index. Much funds.
If I had a time machine, I'd go back and try to awaken Hitler's creative side. I feel like getting him into writing, or maybe art, would be beneficial. It couldn't possibly go wrong.
That's an excellent idea. One of the things that I've read is that conservatives have lowered creativity and probably expanding that would help him not be a goddamned Nazi.
Are we all asphyxiating on the higher CO2 levels in the air? Is this really what humans are like?
Funny, if someone asked me that question I would just give them a weird look and slowly walk away; never to speak to them again.
I guess that's just me.

So a more secretive villain then.
Linked in is social media for people who like to say, "i don't use social media."
LinkedIn is Facebook for people that want to return to the office full time.
