What's great about this, and Stephen Fry is brilliant, is not that he's absolving Musk, or that he's criticizing Tesla, but that it is an argument likely leading to Elon Musk protesting,

'No, my cars are good enough that I can be a Nazi!'

Still a Nazi.

Just America shrinkflated Nazism so the intelligence had to go. Still 100% of the hate and malice America loves to eat though.

Yes. He's still a Nazi. You're not getting the point.

Fry is trying to provoke Musk into saying, "yes, they're good enough," turning it an admission that he is indeed a Nazi.

One day he's criticized for saying that Hitler was a communist, the other for apparently assuming his love of nazis.
There's an old series of books by Terry Goodkind that i've read as a child, named the Sword of Truth, each book has a wizard's rule, and here's the first one :

People are stupid. They believe things mainly because they either want them to be true or fear them to be true.

I'm not particularly fond of these books nor do i agree with this rule, but if you're political then you're judging real political actions, such as enacted laws, like adult do, or you're eventually discussing assumed theories, but not unfair little excerpts regretted afterwards by the one who did them, and we can hopefully both agree that we should not explain our worldview or vote based on the latter, its 'just for fun'/'not serious'.
At least most journalists know that it's only about influencing his future decisions, but you don't if you believe it was 'a coming out'/'something to be discussed seriously'.
That's just my two cents, thanks for reading my insults towards you, and let's continue not changing.

Amazing that during bidens regime all i had to do was date a bdsm guy from austria and get labeled a nazi by even work. I dont know how they found out cause he was half a state away and it was a long distance relationship. I still get called it even with elon prancing about. IDGAF musk is a n*zi. Let those karens on toktok get fired.
