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!'
based we did it fascism is defeated
TBF, Elon's cars are great at killing groups of people with toxic gasses and then incineration their bodies. Just because he isn't efficient today, doesn't mean he isn't working on being a better Nazi tomorrow.

The cybertruck is exactly the sort of thing Nazis would come up with. It's the King Tiger of trucks - impressive specs and appeals to insecure men, but way the fuck too big and designed for unrealistic situations instead of practical reality.
It can't realistically tow heavy loads cause the hitch breaks off, and it can't travel far with heavy loads. Definitely not the king tiger of trucks.
Wasn't the king tiger notorious for breaking down constantly? Or was that a different German WW2 tank?
Difficult to make, too heavy to be effective, and iirc yeah, unreliable.
Elon is the new Henry Ford. But I'm afraid we have no modern day Roosevelts to smack him down.
Henry Ford actually had some good ideas himself. Elon steals all his ideas.
Ohhhh so Edison?
Nah, I'm sure Cybertruck was the example of him messing around in a 3d modeling software and then saying to Tesla engineers "make a car out of this". There's no other excuse for the lack of thought in its outer design.
Not apologizing and then immediately giving a speech to AfD about not being ashamed of "cultural purity" beg to differ. Either way, him being an actual Nazi is irrelevant. There are 2 options:
He is an actual Nazi and believes in the ideology, which makes him a fucking Nazi. It should be noted that his grandfather was an extremely anti-semitic politician who moved to South Africa because he admired Apartheid...
He did it as a troll. In which case, at a POTUS inauguration he decided to behave like a teenage boy as the richest man in the world and make light of something that saw 6 million Jews slaughtered and remains as a threat to the security of Jews around the world to this day. Which makes him a colossal piece of shit.
¿Por que no los dos?
I wonder where she is now....
Awww. She's all grown up, and seemingly successful.
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.
