Comparing people critical of Elon’s erratic behavior to Nazis is pushing things a little too far, don’t you agree?

  When people find it acceptable to make ad hominem attacks of a person or group instead of arguing the point, history has shown evil rises and takes power. Elon has Asperger's syndrome. So no, it's not "pushing things a little to far" if you read up on what the Nazi's did to children diagnosed with the syndrome.

    The point is that he is erratic. We’re not arguing against some point Musk made, we’re arguing against his fit for his role, and his erratic behavior is absolutely a factor to consider, and in particular it is not an “ad hominem.” It is absolutely pushing things a little too far to make the jump from “this person is behaving erratically” to anything resembling what the Nazis did to children with Aspergers. It’s incredible you can legitimately think it’s comparable.

    > When people find it acceptable to make ad hominem attacks of a person or group instead of arguing the point We were literally talking about his character - that was the argument and the point and nothing else.
