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!'

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, 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.

If you're political then you're judging real political actions, such as enacted laws, like adult do. And not unfair little excerpts regretted afterwards by the one who did them, otherwise you have no respect for yourself.
That's just my two cents, thanks for reading my insults towards you, and let's continue not changing.
