Maybe you misunderstand. Most of us don't care about Musk one way or the other. We care about problems he creates. In other words, you're as emotionally invested as most people. Sorry?
Second, if he made a mistake, he would apologize and clearly state that he opposes Nazis and is not one. Did he do that clearly and simply? That is proof beyond a reasonable doubt. I agree with your 5% as a nice handwavy number, whatever it means, but if we consider the bad follow-up, it drops to almost zero.
In that case the discussion about this would be dispassionate analysis of what's happening and what to do about it.
These are not dispassionate takes. These people are visibly angry. Do you detect this tone in my post? No you don't because my analysis is not based on emotions.
Yes, I detect anger in your post. Tons of it.
It's quite peculiar. You believe that your analysis is good because you didn't express emotion on the subject. But emotional people often are good at analyzing things too, especially if it's a topic that they really care about, that they thought about a lot.
More importantly, what we're talking about are Nazis around the world who want to get more power so that they can kill people they hate. It's the kind of thing that a decent human being would find displeasing, to say the least. This is one of those classic situations where the view from nowhere is untenable.
