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!'

Autism =/= fascism or even being an insensitive moron. Autistic people are often highly sensitive to such topics.

You're painting autistic people in a bad light. There is nothing about autism that excuses such behavior.

There's also no reason to take anything I said as an "excuse".
