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!’

It’s worse than that, in my opinion. It’s ableism. Leaving behind the fact that we only have his word to go on that he has “Asperger’s Syndrome,” people with high-functioning ASD do not have a problem telling right from wrong. ASD does not make you racist and it sure as fuck doesn’t make you throw a Nazi salute without knowing exactly what that means.
And the fact that he has yet to say he didn’t throw a Nazi salute doesn’t even seem to faze such people.
