I find it odd to completely disavow someone because you don’t agree 100% with their politics.

I mean Werner Von Braun was a Nazi party member and knowingly used slave labor. Doesn’t make his rocketry advancements any less impressive.

Or Charles Darwin’s views of superior races.

Or Gandhi’s gray area views of pedophilia.

I mean if you’re going to discounted every person with a view you find distasteful your list of people you admire is going to be blank.

You may find Musk’s views distasteful but he’s had an enormous impact on EV’s, rocketry, hell space in general. I think it’s pretty awesome.

This is the nuanced view. In todays polarized world, it is sadly completely unacceptable. At least there are two of us now! ;)

Purity tests are extremely common in left wing politics in the USA.

		And the point of the purity test isn't to establish guilt. You're already declared guilty and the purity test is an attempt at finding or creating evidence of your guilt.
