    If Elon can’t respect people’s names and allows deadnaming on Twitter, I think it’s only fair to not respect his name.

      This is some whataboutism. If he did this, it doesn’t mean that it should be acceptable.

        Respect is earned. And generally mutual. You don’t respect people, I won’t respect you. I see no reason to respect anything about that Nazi.

          In this case *they just call them by their surname, as they do with strangers, and you’ll look like adequate person

            You can. Or you can disrespect them. I think the latter is a better option since he is a Nazi.

            Do you think people refrained from giving Nazis meanie nicknames in WWII?
