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,

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 presenting as atheist for all of his public life.

Anti trans JK Rowling supporter.

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.
