"Authoritarian", like a lot of words, can have multiple meanings. It's a moral condemnation. It also can mean someone using authority to coerce people. I agree with you that Neil Young ought not to be accused of either of these. He obviously has the moral right to control his own creations. He obviously doesn't have the authority to get rid of Rogan, based on what just happened. He obviously doesn't have the power to completely shut up Rogan. However, what seems true to me is that he disagrees with actions and speech of other people and has chosen not to try to convince them of his opinions through speech, but to fight them by other means. This fact pattern seems to me like a possible definition of "authoritarian" that some people could be using, without the other baggage.
