I think that's called guilt by association, which is a logical fallacy. Also, Musk is estranged from his father.

The logical fallacy of associating Musk with his statements?

  I'm glad we're atleast looking at Musk's own actions now, but no, supporting the right isn't evidence of Nazism nor is it Nazism to not feel guilty for actions you didn't do.

        1) You have conveniently selected the minor ones and ignored the major ones like: - Promoting an antisemitic conspiracy theory - Promoting a long-debunked conspiracy theory which alleged high-profile Democrats ran a paedophile abuse ring from a Washington pizza restaurant. - Months into his X reign, Musk decided to create a poll on his social media site, posing the question: "Should I step down as the CEO of Twitter?" He promised to abide by the results of votes, which ultimately swung 57.5% in favour of his resignation. - Tweeting a link to an unfounded rumour about the attack on Nancy Pelosi's husband which left him in hospital for six days. 2) I would have more respect for you, if you did not open an account for every post. Something HN moderation decides to conveniently ignore now... 3) Your hero (or your boss) is a Moron.
