The main difference is that when Daryl Davis is done with them, they aren't Nazis anymore. He's actively working to better the world, one person at a time.
Elon Musk sits with Nazis and then does nothing to get them to change. No, he just gives them a louder bullhorn.
He's really showing his Apartheid roots.
As I mentioned earlier, metaphors are pretty useless when you begin applying specifics.
"Would you jump off a cliff if your friends did it?" I trust my friends would jump off a cliff for a good reason, maybe they were running from something, so yes.
It was absolutely the wrong move to let Kayne back on the platform, and Elon is an asshole, for this, and basically everything else he has ever done.
But epistemologically, we don't have good reason to suspect Elon is ascribes to Nazi ideology. He could let Kayne back on for many other reasons; maybe he gets off on the attention (likely), maybe he just likes kanye (likely), maybe he's a free speech absolutist (likely - unless it's critical of him specifically (see jet tracker and parody accounts)).
