Elon Musk shared or engaged with a post on X (formerly Twitter) claiming that slavery has been a universal feature of human history across cultures and civilizations, while framing the abolition of slavery as a distinctly Western or white achievement.

Historians generally acknowledge that while abolitionist movements did originate significantly in Britain and the United States, the abolition of slavery was a complex global process involving many actors, including enslaved people themselves whose resistance was central to ending the institution.
