To be fair, a large number of WWII soldiers _were_ black. Not many of those black soldiers served in the SS for Nazi Germany though, which was the issue with what Gemini was producing.
I think if you created a distribution of the people who "somewhat to strongly agree" that Elon is comparable to Hitler, that distribution would be biased to the left.
So in that sense isn't this a left vs right problem?
So this isn't a left vs right problem. It's a moral relativism problem.

Even the Hacker News crowd has previously upvoted stories like this:

And elsewhere around the world you have this type of stuff.

I find it hard to reconcile seeing all this sentiment towards him, while also asserting unequivocally that nobody on the left would compare "threat to global democracy" Elon Musk, to Hitler.
I am about as left wing as you can be and gemini is simply offensive. It didn't want to say if Hitler was worse than Elon or Trump. It didn't want to say if child abuse is bad, and if all child abusers should be prosecuted. It rendered WW2 soldiers as black.
This isn't left vs right. This is extreme moral relativism to the point of racism. The end point of a line of ethics ML research where people won't take a stand that might offend almost anyone.
I work in this area of ML. The goal of having a single model that makes everyone happy is mathematically impossible. If you avoid taking that problem on, you end up with a model like this.
