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!'

Still a Nazi.

Just America shrinkflated Nazism so the intelligence had to go. Still 100% of the hate and malice America loves to eat though.

Yes. He's still a Nazi. You're not getting the point.

Fry is trying to provoke Musk into saying, "yes, they're good enough," turning it an admission that he is indeed a Nazi.
