You guys know that ChatGPT isn’t updated in real time right?
You know that Elon was already a Nazi right
He wasn't acting like a nazi. He was acting like a neurodiverse nerd with a rocket company
He named the recovery barges after sci fi spaceships (modern sci fi, not old nazi stuff)
No one had a clue that he'd embrace the nutter right wing
It's pretty clear to me that Elon's never read a Culture novel, they're antithetical to him.
"There weren't any signs"
The signs.
Now try before he bought Twitter. Through his ownership of Twitter we got to see what he was like out of the context of Tim Dodd's interviews with Musk at SpaceX
from 2022:

Why are you so hell-bent on defending the Nazi?
I'm not saying he isn't terrible. I'm saying he didn't show that he was until recently. The first I think we saw of it was the Thai cave rescue crap in 2018. All I'm seeing is replies saying "here he is acting bad 4 years later"
there's evidence of his views going waaay back, they just rarely reached the mainstream...and now it's just obvious, so there's a lot of people genuinely surprised because he used to at least thinly veil his awful views.
but it was always there...
