> article itself is an emotion driven ad hominem attack on Musk
No it isn't. I'm no great fan of Nick Cohen, but this article is at least well-argued enough to require as serious response, not a lazy dismissal. Cohen proposes a framework within which to interpret Musk's behavior and then provides any number of examples that support his interpretation, alongside historical parallels.
Personally, I'm more in the "Musk is a prick" camp than the "Musk is a proto-fascist" camp.
(Plus, please review what ad hominem means. It doesn't mean "saying nasty things about people I like" )
