Spaaaace youtuber finally admits Musk is a stupid Nazi cunt.
Matt Lowne, best known for making Kerbal Space Program videos, has been doing a weekly space news show for a while, mainly focussed on SpaceX, and usually suspiciously uncritical of Musk.

I wonder how long it will be
Before he goes after some random internet commentator like he did Vernon Unsworth. Except instead of merely hiring private investigators, he has the full resources of the NSA, CIA and other TLAs.

They’ll be too busy documenting their actions to do anything

Maybe he doesn't like to repeat the obvious?
Think of American late night talk shows. The sheer amount of Trump videos they post on YouTube makes them unwatchable for people who don't enjoy sitting there jeering at trump for an hour everyday.
It's why Berkeley Breathed doesn't do Trump stuff anymore - too low hanging fruit, especially for comedy.

He explains his reasoning in the video and in the comments.
He seems to genuinely hate Nazis, but his last straw seems to have been the lies told about the ISS, NASA, and the attacks on astronauts.
He points out that a lot of space youtubers are only privately voicing concerns, and that Musk's public mental health crisis is pushing down viewers (and subscribers, members, and donations) to space and SpaceX content providers. Ironically this makes it less likely for the less scrupled creators to speak out, as presumably their remaining viewers are heavily pro-fascist. Lowne's space news show is just a sideline so he has a lot less to lose.
He concludes saying he'll probably not bring the subject up again though. :/
