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!'

He said sexual abuse victims should grow up and stop feeling sorry for themselves.

He jumped on the "I'm a Jew " bandwagon, in order to deflect criticism of Israel's actions in Gaza. This is after presenting as atheist for all of his public life.

Anti trans JK Rowling supporter.

Goddammit. Why is no celebrity available to like anymore? I guess it's true, we should not idolize anyone. Everyone is a piece of shit in some way or another, and to some level.

Except Keanu Reeves. He's literally Jesus Christ. โค๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Thanks for the added context. That's what I guessed based on comments, but wasn't certain.
