It's refreshing to see a major publication just flatly stating that he's a fascist.

Well, his parents are genuine, Bona Fide Nazis who wanted to move to apartheid South Africa from Canada.

Edit: It was his grandparents, my mistake.

It was his grandfather who was arrested for being a technocrat while the party was banned during WW 2, and who moved to South Africa from Canada for a "white people's fight" against "global jews". https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2023/09/joshua-haldeman-elon-musk-grandfather-apartheid-antisemitism/675396/

Not saying his direct parents didn't hold similar beliefs.
