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!'

I don't have full context, but he seems to be transphobic, or possibly trans exclusionary may be more accurate.

To put the video in short: Essentially gets asked if he still supports Stonewall even though they support trans kids and speak out against TERFs (worded much differently) and he says no I don't support them any more, calling it nonsensical, shameful, and sad.

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