      So, while his comment wasn’t entirely neutral I don’t see any endorsement of fascism in there.

        I’d say you either openly oppose fascism or you condone it, there are no other possibilities

          It sounds like that is the same as saying “you can’t oppose corporate monopolies without openly opposing fascism”

          There is a lot of risk in that sort of intentional abdication of nuance, hopefully self-evident to you and to all who read this.

        It was the same with Elon before he went head first into facism. They usually start by selling themselves as liberal with some occasional praise of conservatives. Then later claim they are moderate or the go to favorite of tech bros claiming they are libertarian, since saying they are conservative might receive backlash.

      It’s always this exact article “on the topic” that gets posted in response. I remember his posts on social networks though.
