I recognize the nuance, I just don't think there's anything to gain from trying to understand whether Elon is a Neo-nazi or a more generic white supremacist because, practically speaking, doing so adds no value to my personal or professional life. On the other hand, if my job was to write a book about Elon, I would be compelled to dive much deeper into it.
There is something to gain, because when you call him a neo-Nazi and he obviously isn't, then nobody will engage with your arguments because you're very obviously wrong.
If you say he seems to be racist and supports lots of far-right groups that are overtly racist... then people can't just ignore you.
There is if you want to understand why 20-40% of the population across a multitude of countries support people like him.
You can brand them all nazis and shut off the entire conversation. That might be the “morally righteous” thing to do (not sarcasm). What’s that point of that though? You still have to live with them in the same country and vote in same elections.
